Testimonials
Our Clients are Raving. Here’s What They’re Saying.
I had an excellent experience working with Howard Levy of Red Rooster Group. The project was a bit complicated, we were creating a new program and brand within an existing program and brand, and Howard immediately understood the challenge and presented creative and practical solutions. His designs reflected the message and vision of the new program and were highly attractive all of my colleagues were very impressed with the new material. Howard’s production time was equally as impressive. He turned raw material into finished polished pieces at a very quick pace which made life so much easier for us. Working with Howard felt like he was on our team. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He even reached out to us the day of our big orientation to check if there was anything else he could do to essentially help us succeed. I would work with Howard again in a heartbeat.

We cannot say enough about the incredible work produced by Howard Levy and the Red Rooster Group! From the professional services, to the thoughtful approach to design work, and creative concepts, the Red Rooster Group has helped us translate our big thinking into eye catching designs relevant for the populations we serve. At this risk of gushing. We just could not do our work without them. We consider the Red Rooster Group to be a valuable partner in our efforts to help low-income individuals become financially self-sufficient.
—Linda Rodriguez, Senior Manager for Program Dev. & Technical Assistance
Working with the Red Rooster team has been great. They take our vision of what we want our materials to look like and produce something even better than pictured. They are consistent with keeping the style of our products cohesive so our camp materials can be recognized easily. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and do a wonderful job. Howard has helped us a great deal organizing our goals and plans for the Alumni Association as well. I love all the help and work Moheeta has done with our insane amount of Facebook groups! Organizing them and switching them over to pages. It’s such a huge help.

What a thrill to work directly with the Principal of this company! Howard immediately listened to my needs and my vision, as a small company, and has truly helped turn my dreams into reality! He supports my vision and ensures a brand is created that clearly conveys what I am imagining, and it is a pleasure to work directly with him! I couldn’t be happier or more honored that this prestigious group has made such a positive impact on my future organizational goals!
—Debbi Ballard, Cantor & Officiant, Shema Koleinu
We’ve been working with Red Rooster Group for six years and they have consistently delivered for us. We started with labels for our music CDs and they are now handling all of our marketing including our direct mail, packaging and national advertising campaign. From their strategic thinking about our issues to the creative details they have helped us to build our brand. Howard is one of the few people I know that gets the big picture, but also has command of the smallest details like getting the images in our images just right. And I feel confident that he is looking out for our interests. He suggest ways that we can do things better, not just concerning design, but as an organization, for example, managing our budget more effectively or getting the best results from printing. Red Rooster Group really is much more than our design firm. They are an indispensable part of our business.

I first met Howard in 2006 when he formed a networking group for consultants working in the non-profit sector. Over the last two years I’ve gotten to know him as a colleague who works tirelessly, not only as a consultant in the non-profit sector, but also as a volunteer and an activist. His knowledge of the non-profit sector is broad and, through his work, he has become well connected to its leaders both in New York, and nationally. I trust Howard’s judgment, expertise, and ability to get things done and can give him an unqualified recommendation.

It has been my pleasure to work with Howard on several occasions. As a virtual agency I am very discriminating about vendors I select to work on projects with my valued clients, so creativity, compatibility, and integrity are essential. On a recent very comprehensive project for ReelzChannel, Howard was the perfect teammate, taking our concept to the WOW level with fun design ideas and exacting attention to detail to help our “Cheap Date Kit” mailer come off perfectly. He is also a go-to source for pro social and eco-conscious clients. Thanks, Howard!
—E.B. Moss, Owner, Moss Appeal
