“Queen City Creative has been the design agency for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank for more than a decade; they are an extension of our team. From logos and truck wraps to newsletters and design templates… their work is consistently excellent. They know our brand inside and out and always ensure strong visual consistency across everything we produce… We rely on them completely and couldn’t ask for a better creative partner.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Gretchen Long and Queen City Creative for more than 12 years, and in that time Gretchen has consistently proven herself to be an exceptional creative partner. During my time as Staunton’s Tourism Director, Gretchen played an integral role in bringing the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail to life… transforming a regional concept into a dynamic, American Marketing Association award-winning product… Queen City Creative also delivered outstanding work year after year on the Staunton Visitors Guide, producing a publication that beautifully captured the community’s character.”

“Gretchen and I worked together for eight years when I served as vice president of a health care foundation. Gretchen is extremely creative and has wonderful ideas on how to make marketing pieces appealing and engaging. I worked with her on a host of materials such as our annual report, philanthropic mailings, event invitations, newsletters and brand recognition materials… Gretchen excels in communication with her clients and in creating materials that look professional, unique and appealing. She is extremely dependable and never misses a deadline… I would not hesitate to hire Gretchen and Queen City Creative for your branding, marketing and creative needs.”

“I’ve trusted Queen City Creative for over a decade because they truly understand brands and consistently deliver exceptional work. Gretchen and her team are imaginative, collaborative, and a joy to work with.”

“Queen City Creative has been my creative project partner of choice for a decade. We have designed campaigns, marketing collateral, branding packages, and suites of material that have advanced, changed, or jumpstarted countless economic development, community development, tourism, and corporate public affairs initiatives. Gretchen and her team strike the nearly impossible balance of being both imaginative and forward-thinking while also incredibly detail oriented… Queen City Creative is not just in the business of graphic design, they are leaders in creative consulting. I always know working with Gretchen will allow a rambling thought, loose idea, or disjointed client vision to turn into a beautiful, compelling, well-executed final product.”
