Bio
Brian R.
Since opening our doors in 1994, Amusement has evolved into the leading national provider of commercial play equipment, décor and attractions designed to help businesses attract and retain customers. This year we made the decision to work with Steven Wade to modernize our brand image, enhance our web presence, and develop automated web tools to facilitate the inspection & maintenance side of our operations. Steven was quick to understand the nature of what we do and how our customers perceive us. He created our new logo, completely redid our website, and is now training our crews on the automated web tool he developed for easy inspection entry and tracking. From the start he delivered each step of the process on time, on budget and as promised. The look, feel and internal operation of our revised website is night to day from the previous incantation. He also took our modernized logo and ensured our branding was consistent by revising everything right down to letterhead, business cards and other office materials. I’d gladly recommend Steven for his professionalism, attention to detail, flexibility and cost effectiveness. Sincerely, Brian Rocklin, President, Amusement Concepts
Claude Castravelli
Steven was able to significantly expand the customer base and market penetration of the VVS network. His contacts and expertise were a valuable resource which took the company out of its start-up phase and into becoming an industry leader.
