From Our Clients

AICR

We brought in the Nutrition on Demand team to help us with a rebranding project for one of our programs. Shelley and her team planned and implemented a comprehensive process that included targeted data gathering, key informant interviews, and information analysis to inform our rebrand goals and marketing needs. The amount and quality of the data exceeded our expectations, giving us valuable information useful beyond the rebrand. Their creative approach and suggestions helped our team come to a clear consensus for a powerful rebrand outcome. The NOD team came to the table with enthusiasm, high energy and professionalism. We could not be more pleased with their approach, their work style and the project outcome. We would definitely use their services again!
