"Michael Wollner and his team were able to take a struggling

product, and within a very short period of time analyze and create

a program that truely sent the message to our customers we

wanted, but managed to boost the spirit of the entire team in the

process. We saw not only direct increases in trackable profits, but

were recognized by our competitive set for capitalizing on our

uniqueness that Wollner Studios identified for our resort. Thank

you for your energy, efforts and results!"

Steve TremewanGeneral Manager, CalNeva Resort Lake Tahoe.

"As a Marketing Manager for several of Yamaha’s musical

instrument product lines, I have had the opportunity to work with

Michael on a variety of “before” and “after-the sale” projects,

including motion (video) and print graphics. He has always

delivered above and beyond my expectations because of his

unique eye and talent for marketing and design. I would highly

recommend using Michael to get the expertise, professionalism

and value that is so essential in today’s challenging business

environment."

“Michael Wollner is a Saint. Or maybe it is he is an angel akin to

the angel, Michael, in the movie of the same name. At least he was

that for me as he divined the heart and soul of my website and

promotional materials. Michael and his team have the very special

ability to work from the inside out to articulate the essence of who

you really are as a company, what you are passionate about, what

your competitive edge is and what it is you want to achieve. This

perspective, as opposed to imposing a set formula or signature, is

an exceedingly valuable ability. Michael is a very creative guy with

a big heart!”

Phil RothOwner, Habitat Hospitality Design, Inc. www.habitathospitalitydesign.com

“Wollner embraced the difficult challenge of re-branding a

40-year-old “active adult” community, and produced a product

that is fresh, current, attractive and appropriate for the client. The

new Laguna Woods Village logo, an elegant stylized green leaf,

reflects the vitality and strength of the community. The Wollner

team was professional and responsive to the client’s desires in

providing a comprehensive re-branding strategic plan. The final

product was nothing short of perfection, and the presentation was

outstanding. Thank you, Wollner Studios!”

"Michael was very intuitive in the design concept of my corporate

hoped for very easily and took it way beyond my expectations.

The whole staff is a pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed the

process from start to finish. "

"I have relied on Michaels creative touch for not only our Web

site but strategic marketing campaigns for large accounts over

the years & he has always been instrumental in helping us

"As a regional Insurance Agency, we found the task of creating a

marketing theme and identity nearly impossible. We had spent

many hours searching for a marketing individual/agency that

helped us understand what we are about and what we stand for.

Most people we spoke to never took time to understand what we

are about and what made us unique. Every time a consultant was

brought in it seemed that we were getting the same tired, retread

options.." After many frustrating meetings, I had the opportunity to

meet through a mutual friend, Michael Wollner - and our

marketing identity process took off.

Michael and his team spent time understanding the culture of

Bowermaster and where we have been and where we wanted to

go. He was able to get us to think out of the insurance box, which

is not easy to do. He gained our confidence through incisive

questioning conversation, and observation, which eased us into a

decision making process that, took all the factors we were

concerned with in effect. No journey in recreating an image is

without its rough moments. With Michael’s insight and patience

we were able to get through these rough moments and turn them

into learning experiences.

I cannot say enough kind words on our dealings with Michael and

the process. We are extremely excited about our new direction

and excited with what we have created with Michael’s assistance

and incite. If I can be of any assistance in understanding what

Michael and WollnerStudios did for this agency, please don’t

hesitate to contact me personally."
