“After a comprehensive evaluation, we engaged Kirsten to research, analyze, and develop a compelling brand and brand strategy for our new community of Harmony. She took what was a tremendous volume of information about the vision, history, features, and philosophies and was able to distill it into simple concepts that not only set us apart as a new “category” of community but were powerful emotional drivers. Insightful and instinctual, passionate and strategic, she is a highly persuasive storyteller, and her talents come highly recommended.”
— Birol Fescki, President & CEO, Bordeaux Properties
“After being largely restricted to farmers’ markets, we engaged Commotion to re-position us in the marketplace, on the shelf, and in the consumer’s mind as an upscale quality niche product in a competitive industry. With our new identity and packaging, we have found retailers more interested in carrying our products and displaying them alongside world-class players, as well as us seeing a major increase in customer response. The final result was beyond what we hoped for.”
— Marvin Gill, Proprietor, Field Stone Fruit Wine
“Commotion’s success can be attributed to its fundamental respect for the audience and shared instincts about bringing stories, magic, and people together and providing an emotional core to that audience.”
— Lesley Conway, former President, Hopewell Residential Communities
“It can be difficult in production and post-production to find someone who just "gets it." Kirsten of Commotion Media is one of those people. Jump Studios' long-term relationship with this accomplished producer has grown since it began in 2006 into her being a trusted and respected partner. Kirsten always comes to the table prepared with well-articulated, story-based creative. She knows what she wants, and how to get it. She is approachable, collaborative, trustworthy, and does not disappoint.”
— Jennifer Avis, General Manager, Jump Studios
