DeSantis Breindel

DeSantis Breindel's services page, titled "What We Do and How We Do It," states the firm builds "brands that live in the real world," connecting with "customers, employees and investors" to make a brand "an actionable platform for growth." It lists six services with one-line descriptions: Research — "Discovering the insights to inform critical decisions and measure brand performance"; Brand Strategy — "Defining who you are and what makes you different in people's hearts and minds"; Communications — "Articulating what you say and how you consistently say it"; Design — "Crafting how you look, how you feel and how you move to set you apart"; Culture — "Strengthening your brand and business from the inside out"; and Experience — "Building meaningful interactions for every audience across every journey." Beyond these single-sentence descriptions, the page does not break out individual deliverables, a step-by-step process, or a named methodology for any one service — those specifics are not published. The services page also does not list pricing, rates, fees, cost figures, or a quote/estimate process for any of the six services; there is no online booking or scheduling tool on this page either. A person looking for brand research, brand strategy, brand communications, corporate design, internal culture/employer branding, or brand experience design work would find the service categories here, but not cost or turnaround-time detail.

DeSantis Breindel is a B2B branding agency based in New York City. Its homepage describes it as "the leading B2B branding agency in NYC," partnering with "leaders, founders and investors taking that next big leap" — companies that are "merging or acquiring, spinning off or carving out, going public or going private." The site organizes its work around five types of business transitions: Mergers and Acquisitions, Spinoffs and Carve-outs, IPOs, Exits and Sales, Early-Stage Growth, and Next-Stage Evolutions. Selected work highlighted on the homepage includes projects for Neuberger Berman, R1 RCM, Enerflex, Prospiant, Gibraltar Industries, and Precision AQ, each linked to its own case-study page on the site. The firm's office address, published on the homepage and contact page, is 133 W 25th Street, 7th Floor West, New York, NY 10001; its published phone number is 212.994.7680. Prospective clients can reach the firm through a contact form (with options for "Work With Us," "Join Our Team," or "Anything Else") or by phone; the site does not publish an email address. The site does not publish pricing, rates, fees, or cost/quote/estimate information for any service, and there is no online booking system, appointment scheduler, or posted business hours anywhere on the site. Anyone searching for a branding agency, brand strategy firm, or brand design partner for a merger, acquisition, spinoff, IPO, or similar corporate transition is the audience this site addresses.

DeSantis Breindel's contact page, headed "Let's Talk," reads: "Let us know who you are and the leap you're taking. We'll get back to you right away." It offers a contact form with three category options — "Work With Us," "Join Our Team," and "Anything Else" — along with links to see the firm's work and meet the team. The office address listed is 133 W 25th Street, 7th Floor West, New York, NY 10001, and the phone number listed is 212.994.7680; a linked Google Maps location is also provided. This is the only office address published anywhere on the site — the About page notes the firm is a member of Gravity Global with partners "across countries" for international reach, but does not name or address any location beyond New York. The contact page does not publish an email address, business hours, or a specific service area beyond the New York location and the general statement of international reach. There is no pricing, rate, fee, cost, quote, or estimate information anywhere on the contact page, and no online booking or appointment-scheduling tool — the only ways to get in touch are the contact form, the phone number, or the physical office address.

Lists Allen, Chelsea, New York City, Howard, Parker, Thornton, Whitney, and Kent as a location. Names New York as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

DeSantis Breindel's About page publishes six client testimonials, each attributed by name and title. Carolyn Morgan, Chief Growth Officer at Precision AQ, says: "The entire team were incredible partners. After launching our new brand, we received positive feedback across the board from our team and our clients." Scott Kempema, described as "Former SVP and Chief Brand Officer" at e2open, says the firm is "open and transparent about their work." Jamie Plosz, VP, Marketing and Stakeholder Relations at Enerflex, calls the team "Talented, creative, and strategic." Carol B. Allen, an Independent Marketing Consultant, says DB "realized my client's vision." Jim Kent, Chief Communications Officer at Thornton Tomasetti, says the firm helped people understand "what sets our company apart." Lara Day, Chief Culture and Communications Officer at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, says DeSantis Breindel felt "invested in our long-term success." Each testimonial links to a "See Case Study" page. Separately, the homepage lists Neuberger Berman, R1 RCM, Enerflex, Prospiant, Gibraltar Industries, and Precision AQ as "Selected Projects," each with a one-line case description (for example, R1 RCM: "One for all: From two companies to a single platform for healthcare performance"). Note that the site explicitly labels the e2open contact as a "Former" title-holder; for all other named clients, the site does not state whether the engagement or relationship is current or past, so that should not be assumed either way.

DeSantis Breindel's About page is headed "Award-Winning Brand Strategy and Experience Design" and states: "For more than 20 years, we've partnered with B2B leaders, founders, and investors taking their next big leap." The page displays three figures: "Years of Experience — 22," "Client Leaps — 264," and "Awards — 112." A news item linked from the same page is titled "DeSantis Breindel Rebrands to Reflect 22 Years of Big Leaps," consistent with the 22-year figure. On location, the page states: "Our home is New York, but we have international reach," explaining that as "a member of Gravity Global, we work alongside like-minded partners across countries and disciplines." The page does not name which countries or list any office address other than the New York headquarters. It describes four principles — "Big Leap Experience," "Who-First Mindset," "Real World Creativity," and "Fit-for-Your-Leap Process" — as how the firm approaches engagements, but gives no specific project timelines or contract terms. The 112 awards are shown only as a number and a row of award-organization logos; the page does not name specific awards, categories, or the years each was won, and does not state the company's founding year or current headcount. Those specifics are not published on this page.

DeSantis Breindel's team page names 27 people by role, including Co-CEOs Dru DeSantis and Howard Breindel. Other listed roles include Account Director (Chelsea Orr, Ryann Price), Production Manager (Chris Kelly), Controller (Dayna McAnnally), Head of Operations (Debbie Kim), Senior Designer (Holly Parkin, Tiffany Hsiao), Verbal Identity Director (James McCarthy), UX Director (Jess Fantz), Director of Content and Audience Development (Jess Novak), Strategy Director (Jordan Deters, Will Biondi), Senior Writer (Alex Angst), Brand Marketing Director (Anne DeAcetis), filmmakers (Whitney Dow, Xan Parker), Senior Strategist (Junpei Taguchi), Executive Creative Director (Kris Newgren), Strategist (Lauren Daukaus), Director of Business Development (Matthew Clark), Associate Creative Director (Mike Last), Senior Interaction Designer (Patrick Obando), Director of Business Development and Partnerships (Scott Blumenfeld), Senior Strategy Director (Seth Margolis), and Head of Strategy (Shannon Gallagher). The page describes the team as "Storytellers and experience makers, world travelers and home chefs, gaming nerds and sports fanatics" who are "Collaborative and cross-functional." It shows three team-wide statistics: "Years of Experience — 366," "Languages Spoken — 9," and "Volunteer Hours per Year — 862." The 366 figure appears to be the team's combined/cumulative experience rather than any one person's tenure. The page does not state a total employee headcount, individual years of experience, or specific credentials/certifications for any team member.
