“I am the commander of a small, part-time National Guard Band based in our nation's capital. After attending the Army Band Leader Conference, I realized that our unit was unique but had no words to tell the world who we are, what we do, and why we're different. So I began an Internet search using the word "tagline" and Tagline Guru kept popping up. I studied their site and read about what a tagline is and what it's supposed to do. No other site explained it so simply and clearly. Also, Tagline Guru had a great portfolio of taglines that really drove home the point that we needed an expression that told our story in one brief and memorable line. Right from the very first e-mail, Eric Swartz, the "Tagline Guru," put on his thinking cap and started his creative engine. When I received the first list of taglines, I nearly fell out of my seat! He completely captured the essence of our band – and our brand. Then came Round 2...and Round 3...and the taglines got better and better. Even the questions Eric used to glean information about us were incredibly insightful. Working with Tagline Guru throughout this endeavor has been very meaningful to me and to the entire 257th Army Band. The energy and enthusiasm that Eric's taglines generated among the soldiers made us feel like he was actually a member of the 257th. We can't wait to introduce ourselves and our new identity to the entire nation. We're totally jazzed!”

Without reservation, I highly recommend Eric Swartz of Tagline Guru!”
