“MJ Kretsinger designed and also coordinated the development activities of our redesigned Lifesprk.com website.

As a developer by background, my one concern was whether the design could be turned into a functional website that was both visually similar to the original design, built in modern technology (responsive) and easy to maintain by non development staff at my company. Mike’s team delivered on the trifecta. The website is identical to the design (shocking so), well built in the latest responsive and HTML5 techniques.

Like any project, items came up that required discussion but we could be very open and honest with each other and ultimate found solutions in all cases. We also pulled in some project management in house to help keep our accelerated timeline.

MJ Kretsinger also did print design work for us as well using the same creative styling from the web. It was really nice having consistency across multiple media types.

Finally the project came in on time and under budget which is really nice (and I find really rare) to see that from a creative firm.

All in all, I would recommend him and his creative firm and the development team itself.”

John F.

CTO, Lifesprk

“While I was the VP of Marketing for Bellisio Foods, I hired Mike’s firm to develop the first integrated consumer marketing campaign for the Michelina’s brand. Whether it was traditional or new media, Mike & Co delivered consistently great thinking & (even greater) creative. I’d work with him & his team again in a heartbeat!”

“We turned to MJ Kretsinger to help us create two new television commercials for TRIA Orthopaedic Center. Mike and his team brought an intelligent and strategic approach to the whole project. They began by conducting key stakeholder and customer interviews to help us focus and prioritize our key messages. We then asked MJ Kretsinger to create two sports related commercials that leveraged our tagline, “For the athlete in all of us, there’s TRIA”. Since we air a significant number of our commercials during Minnesota State high school tournaments in the spring of each year, we asked MJ Kretsinger to produce one commercial that was humorous and one that was a bit more conservative. MJ Kretsinger presented a wide variety of funny and very creative sports related concepts to our team – which made it very difficult to decide on just one. His team then worked with a local production company to professionally produce the commercials. The spots were produced at a very high quality and turned out fantastic! We continue to hear very positive feedback from TRIA patients and employees alike. I am very pleased with the job Mike and his team did for us and I highly recommend his agency for any future projects you might have.”

Director of Marketing and Communications, TRIA Orthopaedic
