The best in the business IMHO is Rob Frankel. He's in
LA, but well worth the hassle of the travel. You can hire big fancy firms with big fancy
retainers. But if what you're looking for is results, Rob Frankel is your man. Feel free
to tell him I sent you.

There are a couple of good firms that
fit your criteria - East Coast,
boutique, internet savvy. But the only one I've found that really
understands your most critical criteria - branding - is DISN, LLC. Tell Carl I sent you.

I am very impressed by the work of Focused Image here in Alexandria.
They
have been working on our campaign and are excellent. You can contact Dave
or Toby Eckhardt at 739-8803.

I highly recommend Lapham/Miller out of Mass. They are top of the line
and
do an excellent job of creating a unique look and feel specific to the
customer, unlike many design companies that always seem to have the same
signature.

Branding. One of the advantages that Corporate Branding offers is the
expertise of the large brand consultancies coupled with the creative expertise of a design
boutique.

DiMassimo based out of NYC, they do branding for Citibank, Gateway
etc. Boutique, not too big. Very creative. Has good net ties/strategic relationships.
Call Mark DiMassimo at 212 253-7500.
Pete Snyder
Boscobel -- a small firm in this very area. It launched AOL way back
when and is still very much in business. And I think it knows the net pretty well. They do
advertising and PR both. You might ask to speak with Vanessa.
Good luck!
Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions.
