Some History

LifelineUSA spent over 6 months with input from owners, relatives, executives, and other marketing firms attempting unsuccessfully to figure out what to name our new spinout technology company. jamgd not only delivered with a comprehensive naming strategy for the company and product line, they also created a complete look, including logos to uniquely and consistently communicate our brand position.

MarComPOP holds all of its strategic partners to an exceptionally high standard. We expect an exceedingly high degree of attention-to-detail within very compressed timelines. This combination of speed and accuracy is very difficult to master and even more difficult to deliver reliably. The team at jamgd consistently over-delivers on both our performance expectations and in their ability to create compelling designs. If you’re considering a firm to assist your organization in its visual communication, I highly recommend jamgd.
