Our company

Founded in 1998, our mission is to use design to help clients strengthen their overall communications, reveal their point of difference and to improve the way audiences experience their products and services.

We understand design as a process and the ways to implement it, realizing value for our clients and making intelligent media and design choices. We work with business, environmental and not-for-profit organizations, providing unique, integrated communications, designed to move an audience closer to you.

We look for opportunities to make every touch-point display your voice, style and positioning. Whether we’re designing in print, online or for materials used in the field, we see these as interconnected components all part of a holistic customer experience.

Our beliefs

Great design works in the real world. We believe there is a point where function and design intersect to create something as aesthetic as it is useable, and we focus our skills on achieving that perfect balance.

Design is good for business. This is what we believe, and it’s what our clients tell us. Our years of creative problem solving have resulted in an imaginative, intuitive and experienced approach to solving your communication challenges.

We don’t do one off’s. We believe in long-term sustainable relationships between you and us. We want to be a partner in your continued success and move you forward into the future - to help you evolve with changing market trends and technologies.

Responsible design is responsible thinking. As business people, we think about production and process, and create responsible design solutions that are practical to implement and produce. Solutions that are as easy on your budget as they are on the environment.

Designers should lend a hand. At Pivot Design Group, we believe in investing in the community. Every year, we’re committed to supporting the following organizations, through charitable design, consulting and time:

Partners

To keep our creative fresh, responsive and affordable, we forge the creative vision with you, then involve specialized industry partners as needed, so you get the value of our collaboration when you need it. Some people call this approach ‘siloed’ or ‘lean’. We call it working well together.
