"Turnaround times were growing, and the cracks in our creative process were starting to show. We needed a solution to help us scale while keeping our brand intact."
"Having a cloud based solution has saved us dozens of hours in support time since we started using it."
"We no longer make decisions out of fear. Before we would take on a project because we’d be afraid that departments would do it themselves and it wouldn’t be on brand. With Marq, we don’t have to do that. We no longer make decisions out of fear. Instead of feeling like short order cooks, now we can prioritize brand strategy. We can do what we do best, which is positioning, protecting, and promoting the Purdue University brand."
"Now that we have the template set up, all we have to do is plug in the different articles. True, we do it online; we don't print it. But an 8-10 page newsletter in just a couple of hours that's fast. I have easily saved hours of my valuable time using Lucidpress. I'm a customer for life!"
“[In higher ed] every department wants to do their own thing. Marq provides us the assets and tools that empower people to do their own thing and stay within the university’s brand image.”
"I enjoy it so much that I lose track of time. I just have fun doing it!"
“Some agents didn’t feel it was necessary to include the Reinhart logo on their content. But now that we can lock down our brand assets on the templates, agents and brokers can’t accidentally mess things up somehow."
"It's hard to find a product that does as much as Marq. Total control wouldn't be accepted by the agents. They have to have the ability to do their own thing. Once we've put our seal of approval on something, we roll it out to the agents and they know that they won’t waste their time. That's a big retention tool. It's hard to find a product that does as much as Marq."
“The ability to create templates ahead of time and then share them within our team allows us to bypass our designer and produce assets more quickly. Within the templates feature, it’s great that we have the ability to organize the templates by which vertical of the marketing team each template is for. And, our designer is able to lock features so that only certain elements of the templates are edited.”
“I’m now able to do many things myself, whereas before I had to hire a graphic designer who’d charge me between $25 and $35 per flyer. I have a lot going on, so if you multiply those projects you get $150 a pop. Compare that to the $10 that Lucidpress costs me for an entire month!”
“The reason why our creative team exists is to present Yext to the world in an impactful, consistent, and buttoned-up way. Marq gives us the ability to do that by allowing others to have the freedom to create these assets on their own while still adhering to our brand guidelines.”
“I love that you can lock a form or an image — whether you lock content, location, font size, etc. — so that franchisees still have the freedom to play without straying outside the brand guidelines."
“We were letting franchisees use whatever tool they wanted to create materials and we had no control over what they were pushing out.”
“It was so easy to install it to our management console in the domain and make it part of Google Drive so it pops up as an option for teachers.”
“It’s truly astounding what a difference this tool has made. I wouldn’t have been able to write that poem without it—it just wouldn’t have come out the way it did. Nor would I have been able to see it on my screen in this book setting. The designing and writing are happening side by side."
