Who we are: A Cleveland marketing and design firm that specializes in graphic design, website development, online advertising and social media strategy.

Who we aren't: A flightless bird native to New Zealand.

We’ve been called quite a few things throughout the years. Creative geniuses. Miracle workers. Design gurus. New Zealanders. And we’re happy to report that all are true — except for that last one.

(Fun fact: the Kiwi bird is the national symbol of New Zealand. Wikipedia it.)

Overview

Founded in 2007 by Jen Lombardi, Kiwi Creative has quickly earned a reputation for developing eye-catching creative and effective marketing strategies that are both on-target and on-budget. We work closely with our clients — from conceptualization to completion — to customize solutions for each project. As a result, our work always reflects each client’s unique personality and needs.

Expertise

The talented staff at Kiwi Creative comes from an agency background, so we've accumulated quite an eclectic set of skills over the years. Because of this, we're able to offer all the expertise of a full-service creative agency even though we're proud to be a smaller studio. This means we really are your one-stop-shop for all of your graphic design, website design, online advertising and social media needs.

Clients

Our client roster is comprised primarily of small businesses from the greater Cleveland area and beyond (including a toy store from Bulgaria!). These companies come from a wide variety of industries (professional services, healthcare, technology, sports, publishing, retail and non-profit), but all have one thing in common: they’re looking for a flexible marketing and design partner that’s easy to work with, full of personality and creates a fantastic product at the end of the day. And that’s definitely us. 

Pricing

We're all about doing good work for good clients at a good price. And while we're much more affordable than the "big agencies" downtown, we're not going to work for peanuts. (We did that back in college already. Oh, the joys of unpaid internships.) So, if you're looking to spend $1,000 on a website or $200 on a logo, keep looking… If you have a moderate budget and a need for great design and marketing, however, contact us for a free price estimate.

Philosophy

In general, mission statements suck the big one. If you can't tell already, we’re really not into that sort of corporate mumbo jumbo, so we won’t bore you to death with BS words like “touch points,” “methodology” and “intellectual capital.” But if you're wondering what sort of company philosophy we do have over here, below are some basic things that we believe (and don't believe) in.

What we believe in:

• The power of white space
• Less is more. Except when more is more.
• Any product made by Apple or Adobe.
• The best ideas come in the shower. Or the car. Or anywhere but your desk.
• Inspiration is all around you.
• Wearing jeans and flip-flops to work.

What we don't believe in:

• Giving you what you think you want instead of what you really need.
• Using Comic Sans or Papyrus under any circumstances.
• Cubicles.
• Overuse of bolding, underlining and italicizing.
• Any symbolic cliché involving puzzle pieces.
• Rainbow gradients.
