Bio
Bill Russell
Gary Cooke makes clients’ dreams come true. He is the perfect partner for any budding entrepreneur or established company looking to get the branding right in starting a new company, introducing a new product or opening in a new market. He is a creative listener who takes your visions and objectives and gives them life. Gary has been instrumental in creating captivating websites, business cards, brochure and presentation formats and stationery for two businesses I created that have well surpassed my expectations – and I always have high expectations. He is pure genius and an absolute pleasure to work with under all circumstances when searching for that
