We know your brand.

We approach every design project as a reflection of your brand as a whole, and we make it a priority to know yours inside and out. Our work is extremely attractive, yes, but its primary purpose is to broadcast your organization’s message in a clear and effective way.

We involve you in the process.

We see design as an ongoing conversation between the client and the designer. As a client, you can expect to chat directly and regularly with the designer working on your project, seeing works-in-progress and giving your feedback along the way. We value open and frequent communication to ensure that we are on the same page and heading in the right direction from the beginning.

We get the most bang for your buck.

We are experts in every step in the design and print production process, and we work with your budget to squeeze the most out of every dollar. We take the smallest details into consideration, from ink colors to paper choice, at the start of a project to print at an economical price. Our established relationships with photographers and printers guarantee high-quality work and protect you from paying too much.

Cups Espresso Cafe Labels

cups_labels

Cups decided to redesign all its labels for the whole bean coffee sold in stores. We developed a color-coded system for Medium roast, Dark roast, Flavored, and Decaf coffees. In addition, the system has flexibility for special Christmas variants and 'green' variants for Cups' fair trade and Rainforest Alliance coffees.

The labels have been a big success, with several stores' managers telling us that customers are noticing the bagged coffee like never before.

Women’s Fund of Mississippi Brochure

wfms1 wfms2 wfms3
The Women's Fund of Mississippi had lacked a giveaway piece that explained what they do and what their grantees do. We designed a piece that was efficient to print with no binding required, and folded into a booklet. With the booklet, we were able to show important donors, advocacy work, and what the organization's grantees accomplished. It serves as a great, evergreen piece to bring to events and make a strong impression.

Head to Head Radio Logo

head_to_head_logo
We were approached by Head to Head Radio to help them develop a brand for the launch of their new statewide sports talk radio show. Their vision involved bringing to Mississippi a show with a statewide focus and a national level of polish. We developed the HH lockup that is a strong, fast, athletic symbol that also references football and basketball, the main topic areas of the show.

High Noon Cafe ‘No Bull’ Campaign

high_noon_no_bull
High Noon Cafe, the all-organic vegetarian cafe inside of Rainbow Natural Foods, was in financial trouble in December 2009. We pitched this ad campaign featuring "No Bull," a play on being all-vegetarian, and having only pure ingredients with nothing to hide. Our goal was to make High Noon from an unknown alternative into a "regular" lunch option for diners. The campaign's been a huge success at rebranding the Cafe.

Munch Madness Promotion

Blog Outreach: Vote for Team Raw and Win Prizes!

"...The Raw Sampler is such a great package for those who are just getting into raw foods and those who are already raw. I feel like the samples are quite substantial portions, definitely enough to last a while, especially the powders. The products are high quality and most are organic. I feel comfortable ordering from NutsOnline because they are a family run business since 1929! Holy crap that's a long time! smile They also donate to many great charities and help our troops over seas. Hats off to them!..."

by Excerpt from post written by blog "Ginger is the New Pink" as part of promotion

Creative Distillery coordinated this social media promotion to introduce NutsOnline's Lifestyle Sampler Packs for dietary needs such as gluten-free, raw food, vegetarian and heart-healthy. We designed a landing page for the promotion and did outreach to food blogs to rally up support for each "team." Over the course of March, corresponding to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, users voted to advance their team in a bracket-style competition. The winner? Team Raw Food (and NutsOnline.)
