What Others Say

Brock CPAs recently retained Stacy Cornay and Communication Concepts to assist with a re-branding of our corporate image.  She understood what we wanted to achieve, oversaw all elements of the project and worked well with our team and vendors.  We are pleased with our new look and materials and would recommend her to others who may be interested in an updated look and feel for their business.

In preparation for the 150th Boulder County Fair, we retained Stacy Cornay and Communication Concepts to conduct a series of focus groups to better understand the perceptions that exist about the Fair.  Finding that people love history, but didn’t feel totally engaged, Stacy developed a Communication Plan designed to create strategic ways to engage with all of the communities in Boulder County.

Among the highlights were efforts to ensure that the Fair was represented throughout the County.  Leading up to the Fair we attended events in each community including a steer visit to the Boulder Chamber and a cuddle cow visit to the Longmont Chamber. Proclamations were obtained from all County towns and cities.  Marketing efforts were specifically prepared for towns, cities, the County, media, and Chambers of Commerce.

Stacy also developed and oversaw a county-wide Business After Hours for all of the Chambers in the County.  Her professionalism and communication expertise provided a clear direction for a successful outcome.  We would recommend her to any organization.

“We retained Stacy Cornay and Communication Concepts to provide us with a clearer understanding concerning the perceptions of our organization within the community, and how we may move forward with a capital campaign for expansion in the future. Stacy led us through a Community Engagement process that enabled us to have a clearer understanding of our strengths, challenges, and ways to move forward in the short-term that will benefit us in the long-term. She was able to, through a variety of means, help us chart our course moving forward.”

“Stacy Cornay and Communication Concepts, facilitated 5 focus groups for the Boulder County Fair. Stacy planned, prepared and facilitated these sessions getting 10-15 people at a time. She explored a variety of topics but was able to hone in on some specifics that really help the Fair Board and support staff plan to plan the Boulder County Fair. Surprising to us was the reason that people come to the Fair aligns with our mission and that we need to continue in our grass roots educational programming. Stacy was very professional, provided a detailed report on each session and an overall consensus of the groups and was willing to meet with the Board. We recommend Stacy Cornay.”

“Thanks to the Generational Marketing workshop I took with you, I was able to land a job with the City of Loveland Parks & Recreation Department as the new Marketing Coordinator. It’s a brand new position, and one whose legacy I get to shape. My final presentation included everything I learned from you. Thank you for helping me land this awesome new gig!”

“Stacy facilitated our annual Board retreat. She was well-prepared and organized and kept our group on time and on task.”

“The Longmont EDP hired Stacy to provide media/PR training for both our staff and our Board of Directors in the wake of a complete re-branding of the organization. Stacy’s years of experience and knowledge of the subject were apparent, as was her understanding of her audience for each different session. Her approach to training created a comfortable and conversational environment in addressing a topic that might normally be intimidating. I would not hesitate to use or recommend others use Stacy’s services in the future.”

“For our 35th year promotion we hired Stacy Cornay to implement a marketing strategy for Mike O’Shays Restaurant, I have to say the results exceeded our expectations. I’m looking forward to an ongoing relationship targeting future areas.”

This approach has yielded excellent results! Stacy has assured that the OUR Center has everything required to successfully manage the communications for the capital campaign.”

“I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews from our members who attended the workshops recently conducted by Communication Concepts on behalf the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce. One member indicated, after attending one of the events, that she would be rethinking her marketing, and who her target audiences really are. We appreciate the professionalism and expertise that Stacy Cornay brings to the table.”
