WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Websites are often the first point of contact between a company and their potential audience. Core Creative offers comprehensive website packages which may include desktop & mobile website construction, e-commerce capabilities, photography services, e-mail marketing, social media development, and more. We create packages specifically for individual clients, so you purchase only the services and features you need. Core Creative websites are built using template-based software for quick construction and easy updates, while still allowing for custom code to personalize the look and feel of your site. After a site has launched, we can train clients in the website software, or can maintain and update the site at our hourly rate.
LOGO DESIGN
Logos are at the core of any brand identity. Whether creating an entirely new logo or updating existing branding for a fresh, modern feel, Core Creative will design a primary and secondary logo to ensure seamless use across all spaces and media. If you have a specific idea in mind, we can help bring that idea into reality. Or if you’d prefer, let us create an entirely new design embracing the name and nature of your business or organization. All logo design services include a complete brand identity package outlining your specific logo design, fonts, colors, etc. to ensure branding stays consistent and recognizable.
GENERAL BRANDING MATERIALS
Consistency is key when designing branding materials, creating immediate recognition of your company when any single piece is seen. We design and oversee the printing of business cards, letterhead, envelopes, brochures, stationery, folders, and more, all in-line with and strengthening your overall brand and delivered to your doorstep.
In today’s marketplace, every point of contact between a business and existing/potential customers must be mindful and polished, and each is an opportunity to reinforce your brand. From menu design to signage, rack and rip cards to brochures and flyers, Core Creative works with our clients to ensure each piece is artfully designed and clearly conveys the client’s message. Beyond standard items, we also design and produce presentations, tradeshow booths, invitations and more. If your project requires accessories such as poster frames or brochures holders, Core Creative will ensure you have everything you need to display your signage and/or print materials.
DIRECT MAIL
In recent years, there has been a misconception of direct mail as outdated; however, direct mail is still a valuable marketing tool for any business. New developments in technology ensure your campaign reaches your target audience, preventing wasted time and money chasing leads that are not a good fit. Beyond simple postcards, our direct mail services include perforations for pop-out offers or plastic mailers with removable gift cards. Whether a bulk direct mail campaign or small monthly mailers, Core Creative can handle the entire direct mail process including design, printing, list purchase, recipient addressing and postage.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Marketing materials are only as strong as the images used; in a world where everyone has a camera on their phone, professional photography differentiates leading businesses and organizations from the rest. Core Creative offers a range of photographic services to accommodate all industries, including
Portraiture and Head Shots
Architecture and Real Estate
Culinary Arts and Food
Product Shots
Event Photography
After each shoot we provide our clients with full and web sized retouched images, which are then theirs entirely. All photographs are owned by our clients and we never charge licensing fees or restrict image usage. Core Creative also offers separate digital retouching services, allowing you to make the most of your existing photographs.
EMAIL MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA
Email marketing and social media are affordable, effective digital platforms, and along with your website, often shape a potential customer’s first impression of your organization. Professionally designed email marketing reinforces your branding while providing clients with current offerings, specials, news, etc. Today an active social media presence is a must; more and more customers expect to engage with responsive businesses via social media. Regular posts across a range of social media platforms allows customers to connect with your organization, and keep you at the forefront of their minds.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Beyond marketing and design, Core Creative offers comprehensive public relations services. We can write press releases and media alerts for upcoming events and promotions, and distribute them to our media list of over seventy local media outlets. We can then serve as the media contact, filtering sales calls and solicitation so you receive only serious inquiries. Core Creative can also help pitch your event to local television and radio stations. If picked up, we coordinate segments from start to finish, ensuring your organization is shown in the best possible light, and the segment reflects your company’s branding, message, and mission.
PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS
Promotional products provide an opportunity to engage with a prospective customer, and help them to remember your business in the future. Core Creative can help select and design traditional items like pens, apparel, koozies, etc. We can also help with unique items like Yeti Ramblers and coolers, and custom fiesta medals.

VIDEO PRODUCTION
Video production and visual content marketing is one of the most effective tools that successful brands utilize to engage their target audiences and establish brand identity.

PACKAGING
Seamlessly branded packaging reinforces your image and can turn a purchase into an experience. Branded tissue paper can make an in-store exchange feel luxurious, while custom packing tape, poly-mailers and shipping boxes reinforce your branding through online sales. From simple stickers and gift card holders, to fully customized packaging, Core Creative can help elevate your business through unlimited and innovative packaging solutions.
PRINT AND VENDOR COORDINATION
As a reseller, Core Creative receives generous discounts from many online and local printers, and we extend a discount to you. We bill clients only for our time, and because we never mark up any print products, clients often save money while receiving professionally designed branding packets
MEDIA PLANNING
With so many potential avenues, determining the most effective way to utilize your marketing budget is challenging, especially for business with limited funds. Core Creative helps our clients identity target markets and decide the most effective use of your marketing budget, developing individualized short and long term marketing strategies.
With that plan in place, we then help our clients put it into action, working with publications and outlets to ensure our client is receiving the best possible rate. Core Creative can handle all aspects of ad purchasing: publication selection, price negotiation, content and design, all the while working with the publication’s art department to ensure our clients’ ads stand out from the rest.
