Testimonials

O.B. Williams Company is a 123-year-old architectural millwork company in Seattle. We manufacture, design and install custom architectural woodwork of all descriptions for high end private residences and landmark commercial buildings including Benaroya Hall and the Four Seasons Seattle.

In 2011, we hired Baccetti Consulting to assist us with our sales and marketing efforts after receiving a referral from our banker. Since that time Cindy has helped to revamp our brand messaging, redesign our marketing collateral, optimize our website and re-engineer our selling processes. She’s also worked with our sales team to roll out a new nationwide sales effort.

Cindy meets weekly with me and our teams. One of the best things about working with Baccetti Consulting is that she acts as a complete off-site marketing department for privately owned companies such as ours. Baccetti Consulting delivers boundless energy, terrific new ideas and she provided a fresh look at both our sales and marketing strategies. Cindy is a tremendous complement to our executive team and ownership as she consistently delivers superior ideas but even more importantly she works with us to implement them.

David Wick, President, O.B. Williams Company

“Cindy is a creative and thoughtful professional, able to juggle complex projects, handle multiple priorities, and deliver creative, high-quality and consistent results. I’ve had the pleasure of working with here on several F&B, sponsorship and event projects and she always exceeded expectations and was a true pleasure to work with. She is smart, dedicated, fun and passionate about her work – and that of her clients. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Jason Hunke, Director of Communications, Vulcan Inc

“Cindy has worked with the Seattle Taste of the Nation volunteer committee for many years and formerly chaired the event, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations fighting hunger. Cindy’s enthusiasm for our mission and superb advocacy skills have helped us expand our network and reach in the Seattle area. Her company Groupdyne has participated in Taste of the Nation Seattle as a vendor and has also provided critical graphic design support to the committee. In addition to her role with Taste of the Nation, for many years Cindy has helped organize another fundraising event called “Chefs Night Out”, which supports Share Our Strength’s local Operation Frontline program in Seattle. Operation Frontline, the nutrition education arm of Share Our Strength, has been able to reach more low-income families and children thanks to the critical Funds raised through this event. Over the last 25 years, Share Our Strength has raised over $245 million to fight hunger, and we could never have accomplished this feat without amazing leaders like Cindy and socially conscious companies like Groupdyne dedicating their time, energy, and talents to our cause. Cindy’s leadership and commitment have been integral to our success in the Seattle area and we are continually grateful for all of her support.”

“Cindy is one of the most “well connected” people in the city of Seattle. Her rolodex should be the envy of anyone remotely related to the food and beverage industry! Not only that – her creativity and “mind for marketing” is absolutely phenomenal. Give her even the slightest scope of a project your working on – sit back and be amazed at the ideas that start coming. If you are lucky enough to receive a proposal from Cindy – it would be in your best interest to HIRE HER before she gets snapped up by one of your competitor!”
