Testimonials

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Explore Communications twice now in my career. Both times, they’ve produced phenomenal, and measurable, results in very different product categories. Brett and Mindy are true experts in their field. Explore Communications attracts the best talent in the business and I always know that I will be working with a great team on any project.

I have been working with Explore Communications for nearly two years for a variety of our field and national media needs. Mindy, Cassie and their team have been one of the best agency partners I have ever worked with. They are incredibly responsive, flexible, and understanding of our varying needs. They are true experts in the media world who are thoughtful in their approach, process and reporting. We have utilized Explore Communications in both patient facing and business facing campaigns, and they have created innovative campaigns to reach whatever target we have thrown at them. And they are incredibly friendly and approachable. They are a true pleasure to work with. Explore Communications is a wonderful agency partner and I highly recommend them.

I’ve partnered with Becky and the Explore Communications team for over five years now and can say without a doubt that the professionalism, creativity and dedication of this team is unmatched by other agencies. Throughout our partnership, Explore has navigated challenges with us—be it tight timelines, limited resources, etc.—to create successful media campaigns in Denver and across the U.S. I couldn’t imagine working with a better or more capable team!

Explore has become an extension of our team and a part of our work-family. They treat our account as if it was their own business, they understand and speak our jargon and they immerse themselves in our community so they truly understand how to approach our customer. They are consummate professionals and come to the table with creativity, passion and ideas that produce results. Mindy and Sarah are a dynamic team that we have fun working with, but more importantly, they lead us and make us better by being the experts in their field. We can’t say enough positive things about Explore Communications!

Partnering with Explore has served us very well over the years as our relationship with their team has grown along with our trust in them to deliver very well thought out strategies and result-oriented media campaigns that align with our organizational goals. They are great listeners and act truly as a part of our organizational team while having our backs and supporting all of our needs throughout the year. Additionally, Mindy, Sarah, and Nicole are always very proactive and participate in conversations and creative development with our internal team and our creative agency at key times throughout the year. They are truly all-in when it comes to supporting us and our media execution, and we appreciate them greatly for all of their hard work. Their passion, expertise, and willingness to immerse themselves in our business and make us better marketers through their knowledge is unmatched and greatly appreciated.

Mindy Gantner and I have crossed career paths several times over the past two decades. I trust her judgement and recommendations with no hesitation. She brings a level of knowledge and expertise to media buying that is top notch. She introduced me to her team at Explore that holds her same high standards for performance and professionalism. It's been an extremely beneficial partnership for Downtown Boulder and I'd highly recommend the Explore Communications team to anyone looking for the best in media planning and buying services.

When the integrated marketing and recruitment team at the University of Northern Colorado needed expert counsel in media planning and buying, and a good dose of creative thinking, it found it in Explore. Becky, Mindy, and Rachael are generous with their time and expertise, helping us build and deploy sophisticated state-wide campaigns in support of our undergraduate, graduate and Extended Campus recruitment goals while elevating awareness of UNC overall. In Explore we’ve got a partner we can (and do) rely on.

While we have experienced many successes, it's what is behind Explore Communications that is most influential. Explore has the expertise, experience and knowledge of a large agency with the dedication, determination, responsiveness and character of a true partner. The depth of their relationships with local media has assisted us in reaching and exceeding our attendance goals year over year for the Denver Home Show. Explore Communications offers invaluable industry insights and strong media recommendations that become even more valuable as the landscape of media and consumption of it continues to change and evolve. Explore Communications' personal attention is the driving force behind achieving the results experienced. With an approach that is both collaborative and supportive, they cultivate a campaign built from a deep understanding of your target audience. And then pair that with their superior expertise and knowledge of the local media to resonate within the market, all with your goals at the forefront.

Explore is very focused and conscientious when they determine how best to apply the Colorado Wine Board's limited advertising budget. They are determined to get us the best placements for the best impact while staying within our budget. They are willing to consider our requests and suggestions and work within our crazy budgeting issues. Plus they are a delight to work with. Kudos!
