Here’s the Story

Almost every company needs some kind of marketing communications, but not all companies need or can afford the services of a traditional advertising agency. Even companies that employ big agencies don’t always use them for every project. Often, fresh ideas can be obtained at better prices with more senior-level attention from a design firm. The problem is, most design firms provide just that—design.

Here’s the Twist

Great design is only part of the equation—the second part. First, you need a targeted, meaningful message. Sometimes even the best-known companies need help coming up with the twist that differentiates them from the pack. That’s where we shine. We help our clients mold their message to speak to the needs of their audience. We package it up and deliver it with a punch.

We have worked with Twist for 15 years and continue to be impressed not only with their product but also with their professionalism and extraordinary competence. They have worked on diverse projects for us ranging from website development for two distinctly different programs to annual reports, invitations and brochures. On every job with us, they have met all deadlines; been flexible with the moving targets of active programs; and have exceeded our expectations with the every project. Twist has offered us creative, aesthetic and outstanding work that is continually admired by others. In addition to their exceptional work, we have found working with them a continuing pleasure!

Fred and Merrell are an amazing team. They have the expertise to handle every step of the process—from developing the ideas and the vision, to creating and launching the website. They helped us develop a site that truly reflects our core values and represents our work in a very compelling way. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from everyone, including our own staff, other nonprofit organizations and funders. Merrell and Fred each bring unique skills to their work and have a very organized approach to using those skills. Beyond their creative and technical skills, Merrell and Fred made the project a very enjoyable one from start to finish. I recommend their work in the highest possible manner.
