ReVerb combines strategic thinking with brand and image development to integrate commercial marketing needs with relevant visual solutions. The principals of the Los Angeles-based company, Somi Kim, Lisa Nugent and Susan Parr, have built a multitalented workshop to address identity concerns of corporations competing for consumer awareness of subbrands, new products and new technology. Clients such as Nike, MTV and Netscape have put ReVerb to the test - with results that clarify their specific messages whether in print, on the Web, user interface, broadcast or retail packaging. ReVerb has been recognized as a source of noteworthy visual communication since 1991.
