What Th!nkCreative can do for your company

Th!nkCreative is a full service advertising and web development agency.  We help companies create memorable marketing that works.  Sometimes it's newspaper and radio ads, or maybe a website.  Other times it's guerilla marketing like vehicle graphics or dimensional mailings.  It begins with developing creative strategies that get the biggest impact from the budgets we work with.  We call it using "brains over budgets".

With five core areas to our business (advertising, web development, design, photography and multimedia), we are able to offer clients one-stop convenience for all your marketing.  Since our agency conception in 2001, Th!nkCreative Advertising has successfully guided the strategic marketing and creative solutions of a diverse clientele of multi-million dollar companies, smaller emerging businesses, community, government, and non-profit organizations.

We have a highly skilled and experienced staff that provides clients with more than just one-dimensional solutions.  We offer a completely integrated marketing approach to ensure your company gets the biggest return on its investment.

About the owners

Chris and Kevin both come from large families and have four boys and a girl.  Chris began working in her parent's hardware store in Litchfield for $1 a day, while Kevin was picking rock and doing chores on a farm in Avon.  Since then their careers have flourished. 

As CEO and creative director, Kevin oversees all aspects of the advertising from design and web programming to developing creative strategies.  He's won numerous design awards including Best of Show Awards for both creative direction and design.  He's produced a nationally syndicated radio program; launched an international catalog company; been a creative director at two multi-million dollar companies; served as marketing consultant with the Small Business Development Center; and taught college advertising classes as an adjunct professor.

As CFO and marketing director, Chris's depth of knowledge is diverse and focused in providing quality creative and marketing strategies and solutions.  With over 20 years of experience in marketing, she's developed and launched business to business and consumer products; implemented thousands of successful marketing strategies; been creative manager for a multi-million dollar advertising agency; served as a public relations director for several organizations; and is a successful commercial photographer.

Why do business with Th!nkCreative?

Because we never settle for ordinary.  We know that about 25% of your success is how well you do your job, the remaining 75% deals with how well you tell people.  What we do can make a big difference in a company.  That's why we work harder to get the right idea.

From web development and graphic design to complete marketing and creative strategies, ThinkCreative makes a difference.  We go beyond the ordinary.  We work harder.  We have more fun.  We make your marketing unforgettable.  And that's what companies need - marketing that tells your story so well that customers can't imagine going anywhere else.
