I know I'm not their only client, but whenever I call 24 Hour Company it sure seems that way. I get the immediate attention of senior management—and that communication and sense of urgency flows seamlessly to the talented graphic artists who do the work. It's different with temps and freelance designers where I get put into the queue and hope that they can fit me in on time to meet the deadline. We also save time because the first set of graphics from 24 Hour Company is typically 95% right because all their designers know what proposal graphics are supposed to look like. Barclay Butler It doesn't make sense to me to seriously pursue government contracts
without using every possible competitive advantage. The stakes are
just too high. That's why we depend on 24 Hour Company to create
compelling proposal “packages” that give us the best
shot at winning. Mike Conk  24 Hour Company graphics folks have the unique ability to conceptualize on the fly. The result is a first draft that's pretty close to the finished product! Their process is so efficient and turnaround is so fast that using them is extremely cost effective—compared with using freelance or in-house designers. Joe
Morice  Thank you for going “above and beyond” again to meet another impossible deadline on the December 2003 NHLBI proposal. Even though the project was on a tight time schedule, Colleen Jolly got right on it, and had an initial design template for my review in just a few hours. Colleen patiently worked with me on the first draft through the night adding graphics and creating a professional, magazine-quality layout for the proposal. Colleen worked directly with the printer to produce a quality saddle stitch bound proposal and delivered it to my office sooner than expected, allowing us to meet our deadline easily. I was very impressed with the finished product, especially the level of effort and ease of working with the 24 Hour Company. It's hard to believe that such a polished product can be created in just a few days. I would be delighted to talk with anyone who wants to know first hand how much you've contributed to our business development successes at Constella—as well as my personal career. Linda Holt 24 Hour Company is one of the most powerful and flexible tools in my toolbox for producing winning proposals. They provide exceptional and informative graphics, often on short notice, giving our proposals professional polish and visual appeal. Melissa Church-Lawton  One of our clients has been complimenting us on the high quality graphics you created as part of our deliverables. We appreciate your ability to translate prose into graphics using a “vocabulary” of shapes and colors that are both consistent and yet unique. We would like to thank your for the consistently providing us with high quality graphics and excellent service. As a result we hope to continue to expand our working relationship with 24 Hour Company! Mark A. Robin
Michael Gray I can always count on 24 Hour Company to treat my project as their number one priority. That's usually not the case when using in-house or freelance designers who have other work to do ahead of mine or personal commitments that often get in the way. There's also no comparison with the speed of service and consistent high quality of the graphics. The folks at 24 Hour Company listen to what I say and usually get it right the very first time! Dawn Yarbrough When I first used 24 Hour Company I thought their rates were a bit high compared with using temps or freelance designers. But then I realized that their quick turnaround and ability to get it right with very few edits more than made up for the hourly rate. It's also a piece of mind thing—with 24 Hour Company I know I will get what I need when I need it—even when deadlines change during the course of the proposal. It doesn't matter when you call, you always get someone who knows what's going on with your job—or you get a call back in 5-10 minutes with the answer you need. They're also a very friendly bunch of people who seem to really enjoy making my life easier. Donna Swann I contacted the 24 Hour Company to assist us with graphics for an upcoming proposal which included front, back and spine of 20 binders as well as CD labels for the cases and discs. This proposal was extremely important to our business and there was a lot of pressure on everyone to ensure a win. My first point of contact was Colleen Jolly, who handled the initial setup/parameters of the project. Colleen was professional, responsive and concerned with making sure she understood the scope of the project so it could be quoted accurately. Once the contract was signed, I worked with Chris Mahon on the design and implementation. Chris was at all times completely helpful, friendly, professional and most of all patient - and believe me – you need patience to deal with us! No matter how many changes we made, or how tight the deadline, he was always cooperative and willing to help. He was also extremely responsive to our needs, made many helpful suggestions and was concerned with our deadlines. As a whole, the one thing that truly stands out about everyone I dealt with at 24 Hour Company is their high level of customer service. They truly make you feel that your project is as important to them as it is to you. Everyone is professional, friendly and responsive. Their attitudes and professional approach combined with the fact that they are very talented and produce excellent results make them one of the best vendors with which I have had the privilege to work. They set the standard for customer service and provide the results to back it up. Lisa Montgomery When we needed help preparing presentations for a recent training conference, you all helped prepare fantastic-looking slides and exciting multi-media files that were a huge hit with the audience. From having worked with you before, we expected a high level of quality, responsiveness, professionalism, value and deadline-driven service—and you came through again for us. Thank you for contributing to an excellent show that resulted in rave reviews! John Mancuso, PMP 24 Hour Company always comes through with graphics that simplify the most complex proposal, giving us a real good shot at winning the bid. Their designers understand our business and contribute ideas from a creative perspective--complementing our team's technical approach. Throughout the proposal process they stay focused on the mission and never fail to deliver what they promise right on time. Tod Allan, I greatly value 24 Hour Company's ability to self-manage and provide innovative, time-sensitive, customer-focused solutions that are second to none…I have worked proposals and handled development and production in many different ways over the years. I prefer working with your group of proposal production professionals, and I look forward to working with you in the future. Denise Rhea-McKenzie, The competitive advantage of using 24 Hour Company for our
proposal graphics was never clearer to me than after I reviewed
our bid-winning record for the past year. There were times when
24 Hour Company had more than 12 professionals working on our bids
(some around the clock)—giving us the flexibility to answer
multiple RFPs—and in turn, win more business. Teresa Petrini I was extremely pleased with the knockout graphics you prepared for our GHS presentation. In very little time you took our ideas and translated them into visuals that made a very positive impact on our audience. I also appreciated the responsiveness and great attitude of everyone I worked with at 24 Hour Company. It's nice to work with people who bend over backward to please you! Caroline Raistrick 
I wanted to thank you and your team for the superb job you did supporting <the> proposal efforts. The presentation turned out beautifully. It would be my pleasure to work with you again in the future. Robin Nickerson N-Show Me Communications Whenever
I use 24 Hour Company I get the same high-end graphics and great
customer service no matter which designer I work with. It's impossible
to find that kind of consistency with temps or freelancers. On our
last project they created a graphics log and art wall for us—going
way beyond their normal scope of work—just to make our lives
easier. NCHnet The multimedia presentation itself went smoothly
and surpassed my expectations.  …I had high expectations. You exceeded them. Not only does the 24 Hour Company have some of the most creative people I have had the pleasure to work with, but they also have an excellent understanding of the federal proposal process and the effort that is required. Your company is aptly named; I came to rely on the ability for my proposal team to develop graphics concepts during the day and have very credible graphics back the next morning. “Whatever it takes” seemed to be the operational standard for your people. C. Michael Oates Every time I use 24 Hour Company for my proposal graphics I get the same supportive "can do" attitude and fast turnaround no matter which talented designer I work with. They're always available—even at a moment's notice—to sit down with our writers and come up with graphics that look fabulous on the first cut. Plus their prices are very reasonable, especially compared to paying high per diem rates of in-house or freelance designers. Ekke Gasper 
I wish to express my appreciation for the support of Chris Prochaska
and Derrick Pedranti. Their contribution to the SBSS proposal that
Orbital Sciences Corporation submitted was superior and above excellence. Michele Miller 
Want to thank you and your folks for the support they provided over the last couple of weeks. Chris was creative in capturing our concepts for graphics and very responsive in getting new graphics developed, others repurposed and changes made. My schedule for putting the proposal together had things progressing in an orderly and timely fashion. However, as usual, things came down to the 11th hour. Want to thank Nanna for her support over the past weekend. She got the proposal into the desired format and turned around changes very quickly. Finally, thanks to Colleen for putting up with me for the last minute changes yesterday morning. I know that every time she was told that I was on the phone for her, she thought “what does that dummy want now”. However, she was good-natured during the whole process and got the proposal to us with more than enough time to deliver it on time. Thanks again to you and your team. I'm sure we will be using your services in the future. Jim Houston 
After hearing from your other satisfied clients we decided to engage 24 Hour Company—for the first time—for graphic support for our largest bid to date. Your creative team was able to quickly grasp our abstract concepts and somehow magically overnight give us on-target graphics! In preparing proposals, change is always in the mix, and your team met the challenge and delivered. The professionalism, creativity and outstanding customer service offered by 24 Hour Company was at a level that made all of our proposal team comfortable working with you. So comfortable that we came back for more graphics support on our next large proposal and will return for support in the future. Carol Rogers One of our in-house designers gave notice, but we still had three proposals on the schedule. 24 Hour Company came in and worked side-by-side with our customers and matched our style of graphics – you'd never know that one of our staff designers was out of the picture. Your designer quickly grasped our ideas and moved back and forth among all three proposals without getting them confused. Management was also pleased when they compared the cost of working with you, with the high level of quality and value we received. Mary Helen Gregory As a contract proposal manager it's always good when my client chooses 24 Hour Company to work with on the graphics presentation. I know that your designers will do more than just what we want—they'll bring meaningful suggestions to the table and present them in a confident, but never bossy way. That makes my job easier and the client ends up with a much better proposal. I often recommend 24 Hour Company to my clients—when they are in a bind, you come in and relieve the pain! John Lauderdale 
I've had to convince many of my government contractor clients—especially the smaller ones—that when all the dust settles it almost always costs less to use 24 Hour Company for their proposal graphics, compared with freelancers or in-house designers. The turnaround is so fast and you just can't get better graphics anywhere else. I've made believers out of my most skeptical clients, and always recommend to them that we go with 24 Hour Company upfront. Paula Ransone 
Thanks again to all your team on a great job. Our team really complemented the look and feel of the package. I will take your package and show others at Raytheon in Dallas the quality of work that 24 Hour Company does and recommend you to our team there. Look forward to working with you on additional efforts in the next year. Larry Cardwell Your graphic designers have a knack for taking what I'm trying to say and creating concepts and pictures that make sense. These same designers are willing to work late hours to give me the quick turnaround I need to meet impossible deadlines. The quality and level of service are way beyond what I've ever gotten from temps or freelance designers. Michele Bradley 
I'd like to acknowledge the absolutely outstanding support that
Colleen Jolly and the 24 Hour Company team provided us in the development
and production of the oral presentation for a recent proposal. Robert S. Frey 
I'm good with words and it's not always easy for me to make the leap from words to pictures. 24 Hour Company designers are like no others I've worked with. They take my words and come up with unique graphic concepts to convey the real value of my proposal solution. And they really live up to their name when it comes to service. They're easy to work with and never ever miss a deadline! Michael Haldas I am sure you heard that we won the contract. You did a great job on the proposal. Bill Arnold
David Smith Speed and quality are what separates 24 Hour Company from the majority of freelance and temporary designers I've worked with in the past. You won't find designers anywhere else who can go from rough concepts to pictures that clearly represent the most unique elements of our proposals—as quickly as they can. Everyone on the staff is very professional and adaptable to what I need and when I need it. Ron Ralston Trawick is on the move, re-branding itself to compete in the Tier-1 information technology marketplace, and 24 Hour Company has proven an effective partner in those efforts. From slicks, to brochures, to full-page ads, to website graphics, 24 Hour Company's designers turned Trawick's concepts into top-notch marketing materials that are really getting the message out. 24 Hour Company also provides us superb proposal graphics and desktop publishing support, and Trawick gets all of that support on a cost-effective, as-needed basis. Ramona Osborn As the proposal manager for Northrop Grumman's winning KC-X bid, I was looking for a way to best communicate the complex technical elements of this massive bid—and make it easy for the evaluators to choose us. Having had previous experience with only freelance and in-house designers, I was surprised at how 24 Hour Company took charge of the graphics process and made my job a whole lot easier. They were very creative in defining solutions to portray the technical aspects of the offered solution. Not to mention the high quality of the finished product—with minimum input and rework—and the “can do” attitude and strong work ethic of each and every member of the staff. David Winters We had not worked with 24 Hour Company before so I didn't really
