Some clients we've had the pleasure of working for:
The booth and online game that Ideablast designed attracted potential customers and kept them at the booth—our presence at the show was great! I highly recommend them.
Barry Phillips, CMO and Vice President of Sales, Wanova
Ideablast is my secret weapon! When my clients need a fresh, crisp, and creative look for their websites, Ideablast is my first call. Julia and Kristin are a pleasure to work with: they deliver outstanding work and manage tight deadlines with a great attitude. I enjoy brainstorming with them and rely on them for turning the general concepts that I may have in mind into designs that our clients love. Thanks, Ideablast team, for being that rare combination of professionalism, creativity, fun, and for being all-around great collaborators.

Monex and Monaco Financial have been fortunate to work with Julia Machotka and Ideablast for over 12 years in ongoing development of monex.com, monacorarecoins.com and shipofgold.com. Julia and company have brought an added insightful and artistic element of web design that was much needed. Having Ideablast’s organizational skills and implementation momentum was extremely helpful. Considering our group of affiliated companies with over 250 employees and $4 billion in transaction volume, Julia has demonstrated a talent for getting to know the strategic advantage of our enterprise, each affiliate company and its particular objective to fit within the web framework rather than trying to lay a web model over a successful strategic enterprise. It is important to have a flair for artistic creativity but with a cold business logic foundation, which is a rare advantage with Ideablast. Our 40-year brand has been leveraged through a targeted on-line message and complimentary user experience having quite impressive results. I highly recommend giving Ideablast an opportunity to prove their value, as long as we, and others, remain thinking we are their top client!

Michael Carabini, Chief Operations Director, Monex affiliated companies 
I have worked Julia and Kristin for close to 3 years, on countless web design projects. And no matter how big or small the deliverable is, or how ridiculously fast our turnarounds are – the team at Ideablast is always creative, collaborative, accommodating, and easy-to-work with. I appreciate that they approach each project from the ‘outside in’ giving time and detail to how my audience will receive it and how I need it to work – which is critical for a well-designed web piece. They have been successful at meeting my deadlines, and always try to work with me when my budgets are tight. All this and they are a FUN team to work with – which I love since it makes my job more enjoyable.

Some consultants we enjoy collaborating with:
We have worked with Ideablast on countless projects over the course of more than a decade. Their commitment to quality, organized approach, and creative expertise cultivate a refreshingly enjoyable, collaborative experience and have led to many of our most memorable successes. One such experience was our involvement in the McAfee brand refresh internal communications campaign. We did some of the technical web work and contributed to development of graphics that illustrated how McAfee's products all work together. The project won high praise from upper management at McAfee and was a pleasure to be a part of. There are many such stories about our history with Ideablast, and we look forward to creating many more.

Andy and Tanya Nelsen, Design and Web Developers, Red Table
I really enjoy collaborating with Julia and Kristin. They embrace and nurture the creativity that their project teams bring to the table, while keeping everybody focused on the mission at hand. Working with talented independent specialists keeps their creative output fresh and gives their clients a breadth of experience and professionalism that results in great work.
Jeff Ward, Visual Designer, Artronica
I’ve been working with Ideablast for over ten years: highly capable, efficient, and creative. During that time, Truc has been engaged in projects for McAfee, Cisco, SAP, Palm, eBay, and many others, and the end result is always an impressive collaboration.
Justin Willow, Owner, Truc Designs
Over the past 5 years I've had the privilege of working on a wide variety of projects with Ideablast. Julia and her team are highly efficient, innovative and dedicated designers and directors who not only execute in a timely manner, but do an outstanding job as well. They keep your identity and integrity in the forefront while going through the creative process which results in fitting, functional, and fashionable designs. They truly do know and understand the business from the inside-out and commit 110% when doing a job. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with them and learning from them on future projects.
