“Four Star Branding truly takes the time to understand the client’s mission and passion starting at the core of your company’s foundation and its stakeholders needs. Our Raised in Chicago, Ready for the World match grant campaign of $1.5 million (with a challenge to raise $500K) was not only reached two months ahead of schedule but exceeded the fundraising goal while raising our company’s profile and outreach to new funders, investors and audiences. Ole!”
