Our Clients
In Their Own Words
“Krell’s relationship with Penry Creative began with Brian art directing photography of our products. This led to a much broader engagement involving Brian and his team: the total redesign, content development and relaunch of krellhifi.com.
As a leading high performance audio brand, our online presence is central to Krell’s success. Our products are sold exclusively through our international dealer/distributor network—no revenue is derived through e-commerce. Yet, our sales have grown exponentially since our new website went live. Clearly, it’s working.
Penry Creative has become integral to strategizing and executing our ongoing marketing efforts. We could not be happier with the contributions that Brian and his team continue to make.”

“Brian and I met in the context of The Creating We Institute (CWI), a thought leadership organization we co-founded with the late, best selling business author and consultant, Judith E. Glaser. Brian is a deep, thoughtful and talented creative director. We were lucky to have his expertise in the design of CWI’s various needs. He understands the complexity of brand strategy and marketing, is a fine artist and an equally fine musician. I recommend adding Brian to your resource list.”

“Our passion is designing and manufacturing the world’s finest speakers. Speakers are the last in a series of sophisticated audio components between the source of a recorded performance and the human ear. However, a speaker is the first and only device converting electrical power into sound for us to hear and enjoy. Whether from CDs, vinyl or some other source—high performance sound reproduction is an incredibly moving experience.
We wanted our new website, altaspeakers.com to capture and reflect that excitement in every way imaginable. Since online technology cannot replicate the experience of listening to our speakers, we wanted our site to be visually breathtaking—and our messaging to be equally compelling. Additionally, we needed an e-commerce portal to offer selected products online.
Brian Penry and his team have more than delivered on all counts, refining our branding in the process. They have truly taken our marketing to the next level.”

“Brian Penry designed our original logo. More than three decades later, it remains a strong brand identity. Recently, he observed that our website, avantgardenct.com could be organized and communicate more effectively, and that it wasn’t addressing an important segment of our total market.
We put Penry Creative to work once again, reimagining and recreating our online presence. The result is not only visually stunning, it tells our brand story in ways that engage and resonate with our online visitors.
We highly recommend Brian Penry and his team without reservation.”

“We have worked with Brian Penry on a regular basis for several years. What began as a rebranding project for our flagship restaurant has become an enterprise-wide creative consultancy—involving every aspect of our marketing and then some.
In addition to managing our overall branding and marketing and creating the social media posts for our restaurants, Penry Creative consults on our décor, signage, evolving menu design and much more. Brian recently redesigned and developed the content for one of our restaurant websites, robertosct.com. He also serves as a sounding board for our ongoing expansion efforts.
I strongly endorse and recommend this individual and his firm.”

“Brian Penry came highly recommended by a colleague of mine. He worked closely with me to develop my website, from the overall design concept to the content, including writing and editing the copy. The entire project was done in a timely fashion, and the Penry Creative production team did an excellent job of executing the finished product: benjaminsadockmd.com.

“On a continuous basis for sixteen years, Brian Penry and his capable team were responsible for our advertising including co-op work with Cartier, Patek Philippe, Rolex and others. Brian was regularly entrusted with art directing the off-site photography of our rarest pieces, often with a value in excess of $1 million. The integrity and trustworthiness of all involved remain beyond reproach.”
