WE ARE A MAKER OF THINGS

We believe in the power of real communication. That great design and thoughtful copy can engage the eye, touch the heart, reach the mind and

persuade people to act. It’s the power to make lightning strike and to make limits well, limitless.

We’re designers and writers, dreamers and doers. Optimists and idealists. No egos or attitude- just talented people, a passion for the business and

the drive to do something that matters. Something that will – move people to action, change attitudes, and maybe even change the world. Just ask

our clients and they’ll vouch for our insane work ethic, our track record of results and our ability to never take ourselves too seriously.

We don’t have the largest stable of creative minds – just the best ones. We’re small enough to be able to move quickly, act strategically and stay one

step ahead of the big guys. Why do you think we wear sneakers?

This spirit sits at the heart of what we do.

OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

We listen. Then we respond with fresh ideas, creative solutions that build relationships and measureable results that make our clients look a little

better and a whole lot smarter than the competition. Go ahead, call it advertising. But it’s really about people. It’s creating trust and finding

solutions that drive real change. Our clients sing our praises, but we think our work speaks for itself.

Take a look.

there’s wet slick surfaces. And they have.

JOURNEYS

THE PREMIER RETAILER FOR BRANDED

FOOTWEAR IN THE TEEN MARKET

Reaching a teenager isn’t easy. They have a

language all their own. And lucky for our clients,

we speak it. We know when, how and where to

reach this on-the-go, tech-savvy group. And

we’ve been helping Journeys do just that by

staying relevant and cool with this audience for

years. …

TIMBERLANE

HAND CRAFTED MEETS HI-TECH

Artisan crafters of fine wooden shutters and hand-

forged hardware, Timberlane takes pride in what

they do and rightly so. We helped them not only

tell their story in print and on-line but made it easy

for customers to enhance the beauty and value of

their homes. And that’s worth a lot.

LILA

GETTING INTO WOMEN’S MINDS

We helped launch this new women’s shoe brand

with more than just a product name, packaging,

collateral, a give-back program and a website. But

it was our creation of a brand persona that all

women could relate to that really brought it all

together. Meet Lila.

“CUBICLES” IS A FOUR LETTER WORD

We believe that an inspiring space inspires great work. And that where you work is a reflection of how you work. Our space is a two-story brick

carriage house with an open floor plan, exposed brick, a couple of fireplaces and comfortable meeting places where the staff and our clients feel

right at home.

We work hard and we love every minute of it. Because at TMG we know that a happy agency makes happy clients. And that’s why we’re in

business. So we do everything we can to make every day at work a good day. Dogs are welcome, so is the occasional baby. We’re flexible and we’re

human. We know that not every creative inspiration comes between 9 and 5. So sometimes we work late. And, if sometimes we leave early to go

watch our kid’s ball game or go for a bike ride, it’s okay. We have lives.

The truth is, we think pretty highly of the folks who work here at TMG. So we try to create an environment that’s rewarding, challenging and one
