What Our Clients Have To Say
“Made Outside delivered the core aesthetic of two major product lines. After our first meeting, it was clear that we were in great hands with Made Outside.
Our packaging has been pivotal to the success of our brand.
We’re constantly told how beautiful the packaging is and it was even won multiple national awards. Our objective was to create packaging that was too beautiful to shove in a cupboard or drawer. With that, we succeeded!.”
What Our Clients Have To Say
“The Made Outside team is super friendly, cares about their clients, cares about doing good work, knows current trends and which way design, branding and marketing is leaning and is very relationally driven. This means a lot to me. Made Outside’s biggest value is learning about me, learning about the brand, learning the how’s and why’s and taking that information and putting it into our branding to tell a story.
I couldn’t love our new branding more.”
What Our Clients Have To Say
“It has always great working Kara and her team. Always professional, on time, and great in-sites for branding and private label business. Weekly, monthly meetings, always there to meet our times and deadlines. We have working with her team for many years now and their insights and knowledge has increased our branded business over the years.
They have designed dozens of packaging projects with us, our corporate website, trade show booths and recently developed a new Snack Brand with comprehensive branding, design, and marketing plan that has proven to be successful.”
What Our Clients Have To Say
“Kara’s team understood our mission and delivered!
Our website design and data analytics for search engine increased our business exposure and grew the company. Not to mention – the branding development is beautiful.
They were able to connect the esoteric & metaphysical world into the physical portion of our work. We’re multidimensional and she has been the only person in her industry that understands what we want to incorporate in our business. This company is invaluable.”
What Our Clients Have To Say
“One of the highlights of our experience with MO was their giftedness in casting a vision visually for our brand.
The warmth, passion and vision Kara’s team has for small businesses really set them apart for us.
We were looking to connect with likeminded people that don’t only value creativity but also have an eagerness for growth at that same time and The MO team does just that! They are a blend of both, which makes for a wonderful combination for businesses small or large!”
