Testimonial

2020 was a pivotal year for Markforged and we couldn't have done it without IfThen. Starting at the ground floor collaborating with Stefán on our new brand strategy and story, to working with Jack on formalizing our new brand visual identity and with Tina to bring it to life through multiple major projects; IfThen has helped set us up for massive growth in 2021, and we have a plateful of work lined up that we can't wait to get started on.
