“What was most impressive about Mackey Strategies’ work with us was their commitment to the foundational work of understanding who we are and what we represent. As a result, the materials that emerged—a new tagline, logo, and other elements of our institutional identity—are a completely authentic reflection of our values and aspirations. We couldn’t have hoped for more.”
— Adam F. Falk, President (former), Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
