“Having worked for an ad agency previously,
I know how important it is to have a strong collaborative relationship with your clients. Now that I’m back on the “client” side I can
say that Step One is a true partner here at Oswego Health. They are an extension of our marketing department. They have a seat in
our creative meetings, are copied on emails, plugged into our strategic discussions, and always deliver, never disappoint. I know I can always count on them. No matter what size of an organization you represent, or the size of your marketing department, I would strongly recommend Step One. If you’re looking for an agency that truly works for you, hands down, they are it.”
- Jamie Leszczynski, Senior Director of Communications, Oswego Health
