WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

When I heard Cynthia speak at a conference, I was immediately taken by her clear understanding of how effective packaging can sell a brand. Soon after, we began working with Sterling Creativeworks and throughout the entire process, we felt completely understood and supported. SCW was able to effectively formulate our vision into a brand essence and story, then move full force into the logo development, packaging, and branding items. Throughout the process, SCW set up a well-organized meeting schedule and always followed-up. They were most professional on all counts and we were extremely lucky to have been able to work with them.

It’s always great to work with Sterling Creativeworks who brings both innovative thinking and the stories of our brands to life through their creativity and execution.
Timothy Irwin,Director of Education at Treasury Wine Estates
“The success of our Malene Rosé launch exceeded expectations. We sold out within three months, secured new account placements throughout the country and had to limit allocations due to high velocity. For our next vintage we will more than quadruple production to meet demand for this high quality wine made with intent. We are so pleased with the design Sterling Creativeworks delivered and the dedication Cynthia and her team took throughout the process.”
Patrick DeLong,President & CEO, Crimson Wine Group
"When our 50^th anniversary presented a timely opportunity to update our legacy wine label, there were levels of both concern and excitement at ZD. Cynthia and her team proved to be the complete package. They produced an elegant label that improved upon the preexisting core elements while catering to multiple passionate decision makers that can often be found in a family business."

“I've been working with Sterling Creativeworks since I started at Constellation Brands two years ago. We've built a very strong professional relationship that I appreciate. Her team's work is brilliant, but the collaborative roll-up-our-sleeves spirit and enthusiasm for each new project has made our great partnership an irreplaceable one."
Kathleen Murphy,Marketing Dir., Innovation, Constellation Brands
“I have worked with Cynthia and her team for several years now, at different companies and on many different projects. I have found Cynthia to not only be an excellent designer and project manager, but a trusted strategic partner. Cynthia has been instrumental to the launch of our business GrapeSeed, where we have launched six wine brands with less than eight months of total development time. We would not be where we are today without Cynthia and Sterling Creativeworks."
