Brainstorm are brilliant. Created a superb website for Thomond Park and their support service is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and Dave Curtin their creative director is top class. I highly recommend Brainstorm.
Brainstorm* has been our creative partner since day one. They don't just design our magazines; they shape our voice. Their strategic input was instrumental in us winning the 'Best in the World' award in China.
The difference in our online visibility has been night and day. Brainstorm didn't just design a website; they gave us a tool that actually brings new faces through the door.
