“What a great writer! (Fast too!) Marc has been covering leaders in our Sustainable Brands community for us for a couple of years now and he is amazing at catching a story quickly, and telling it in engaging ways — a skill that undoubtedly rubs off in his client work. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a storyteller to get at the meat of a story and convey it crisply and with panache.” – Koann Vikoren Skrzyniarz, Founder and CEO, Sustainable Brands, June 25, 2012
“The BC Ministry of Health brought Marc aboard to involve the people of our province in our ambitious healthcare innovation program. The goal was to make people aware of the program, engage them, and motivate them to change behavior.
Marc began by bringing our team together and brainstorming possible routes forward. Although a number of paths were explored, we all agreed to launch down the route of films that explained the story of healthcare in lay terms. Then we went one step further, and animated the films in a variety of styles.
With Marc spearheading the creative output, this project grew into a series of 9 films, an interactive website, an ad campaign, and – most impressive for a government body – a real time online chat service that gave British Columbians instant access to experts.
The program has just launched to much acclaim, and is getting good traction. Significantly, the feedback on the site and in the online chat is helping inform us on future innovations that may be considered.
This is possibly the most ambitious proactive program we’ve created this year. And, I’m happy to say, it’s one of the most creative pieces of work I’ve ever seen come out of government. This is due in no small part to the consensus building and inclusive brainstorming Marc started the process with. At every stage, all the stakeholders felt they had a stake in the game. There was no ‘us and them’ relationship typical of agencies.
I look forward to working with Marc as this program continues to roll out and grow.” - Graham Whitmarsh, Deputy Minister of Health, Government of BC, April 17, 2012
“I will say it once again – I have NEVER had someone capture our story so simply, clearly and effectively.” - Andreas Souvaliotis, CEO, Air Miles For Social Change, March 20, 2012.
“I worked with Marc on a client’s brand strategy. The creative energy and strategic thinking Marc brought to all aspects of the process was outstanding, as was his ability to take huge amounts of information and boil it down into impactful, elegant points. More than once I walked out of a meeting feeling as though he had somehow pulled a proverbial rabbit out of a hat. Equally admirable was his responsiveness and commitment to delivering a quality project to the client. I definitely hope to have the opportunity to work with Marc again.” – Erin Gawne, Account Director, Edelman, March 14, 2012.
“Marc spoke at a recent Offsetters event about educating, engaging and inspiring stakeholders through effective story-telling. Marc is an excellent public speaker who brings a ton on energy to a room, and was very well received by our guests. His expertise and insights were of great value and I would highly recommend Marc for other public speaking engagements.” - Kari Grist, SVP Marketing and Client Engagement, Offsetters, March 2, 2012.
“At the Green Wine Summit held in Napa on November 29th, Marc Stoiber’s presentation was judged a “favorite part” of the General Session and it was suggested that he return for an update next year. Marc’s big picture presentation and energy to push the wine industry’s sustainability efforts to the next level was an excellent way to open the conference.” – Kathy Archer, Organizer, Green Wine Summit, November 29th, 2011
“Marc delivered his keynote presentation at the Canadian Cleantech Summit with passion and clarity. No one in the audience was left unaffected and people are still talking about it. Great job!” – Marc McArthur, Organizer, Canadian Cleantech Summit, October 28, 2011
“Marc was one of the most strategic and prolific Creative Directors I’ve ever worked with. I was also impressed with his collaborative style and clear mentorship of his team. The campaign we launched reflected our brand DNA, our sustainable differentiation and broke through the cluttered Financial Services comms landscape with an innovative approach. Most importantly, these communication efforts resulted in significant and measurable gains in brand awareness, opinion and key brand attributes that had proven correlation to business growth. Marc is a great strategic and creative partner and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.” – Karla Congson, Brand Director, AIM Trimark, March 15, 2011
