AHOY New York City, USA

"I’ve worked with the designers at AHOY since before the company even launched. We’ve done everything from broadcast design to corporate identity, from ad campaigns to viral marketing together. The common thread is their great use of color, their way of creating work that’s fresh-feeling, clean and contemporary, warm and human – something that’s increasingly meaningful in our cool digital world. The process is without fail a pleasure – they understand better than many that there’s an intent to every assignment, an idea that needs to come through in the design. The work is always thoughtful and on-point as a result."

Adam Pincus, Former CCO at Sundance Channel, now Partner at Mediacom Content Group | www.sundancechannel.com

"AHOY Studios has been brilliantly creating the print graphics for the AICP Show and Next Awards for the past 15 years. Ahoy designers have always understood our 'brand' and every year inspire us with fresh, beautiful and relevant design. They are meticulous in every way, their vendors are top-notch and we don’t worry about the quality of the finished pieces. In addition, the team is a pleasure to work with – professional, enthusiastic, smart, fast, and very nice."

Ileana Montalvo, Director of Communications, Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) | www.aicp.com

"AHOY is one of the best design agencies we have ever worked with. They have a sensitive approach to a client’s needs and they create sophisticated and rich designs, with an impeccable sense of materials. All of this is mixed with a good-natured way of handling projects. It is a joy to work with them."

"Their pro-active style and their incredibly refined sensitivity to clients’ needs is indicative of their high level of professionalism, but it is their creativity and flexibility that make AHOY Studios so indispensable to us in our design projects and publications. It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with the team at Ahoy."

Kerstin Schütz-Müller, Director of Communications,  Austrian Cultural Forum | www.acfny.org

"Working with AHOY is an enjoyable process from start to finish. Their design team is constantly creative and eternally inspired. They always consider carefully the message we want to convey, and through a substantive creative dialogue, articulate it in ways we had not previously imagined. Their hard work and dynamite graphics have made a significant contribution to the success of The Vilcek Foundation’s prizes, exhibitions and events."

Rick Kinsel, Executive Director, The Vilcek Foundation | www.vilcek.org

"The German Mission to the United Nations New York has worked with AHOY since 2008, during which time all employees of AHOY have provided us with excellent support for our corporate design. Their work has been a major factor in our campaign for Germany’s candidature for the United Nations Security Council 2011/2012. We are looking forward to a close cooperation with Ahoy studios also in the future. We can confidently recommend AHOY studios as a solid and reliable supplier and experts in their field."

“I’m a client of Ahoy Studios, and worked with Connie Koch and Aline Ozkan since 1997. Design produced by Ahoy possesses great conceptual strength that is further distinguished by a very particular upbeat, lively note that they have hit for every single project they have created for Wolf-Gordon. This has resulted in smart, color- and pattern-savvy projects in 2-D print, 3-D objects and catalogs, web-based animations, window displays, and advertising campaigns. I would also like to underscore Ahoy’s extreme professionalism at every stage of the design process. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Marybeth Shaw, Chief Creative Officer, Design & Marketing, Wolf-Gordon Inc. | www.wolf-gordon.com

“We selected Ahoy Studios as our branding and design agency for their great sense of style, sentitivity and understanding of trends in the fashion industry. In the five years of our collaboration, I found Ahoy Studios to be extremely thoughtful, creative, and professional, with a super great positive energy to get any and all jobs done! They have uplifted our brand through disciplined strategic thinking and the development of numerous efforts in print and online. In addition, they have an ability to turn work around quickly and precisely! Connie and her team always deliver more than asked for, and always on time. You can always count on them, and it’s a joy to work with them.”

AHOY is inventive and strategic. For the New York Academy of Sciences, they led the rebranding  effort for its annual Gala event. They created a dynamic, vibrant new look across multiple tools, from print to digital to stage design. Every tool was thoughtful, clever and underscored the mission of the Academy. Their work helped revitalize the excitement and commitment of its donors. A superb job done by an expert team. They are on my must use list.

Diane Fusilli, Director of Communications, New York Academy of Sciences
