5. We’re small (We’ve got a fancy
certificate to prove it).
No smoke and mirrors here. With Think Tank Creative,
you deal directly with the owner of the company. And
the design goddess. And genuinely a pretty decent
person.
Having worked with over 100 companies, including
design agencies, associations, non-profits and small
businesses, there is no challenge too big or too small for
Jacki. Whether it’s luring attendees to an association
meeting or motivating individuals to open their wallets
for a worthy cause, Think Tank Creative focuses on
results-oriented design.
Jacki began Think Tank Creative in 2003 with no—yes,
that's right: nada, zip, zilch—clients and has quickly
grown a business built on its reputation and
quality service (and, of course, some damn good
design).
Over the last four years, Jacki has been consistently
recognized with industry awards. She is an active
participant in the Washington, D.C. design community
as a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts
(AIGA), Art Directors Club and Ad Club DC.
6. We make it pretty. But you probably want a pretty
Web site that works.
We bring in the experts for that.
9. Meet Related Media.
We develop online businesses. We work with Fortune
500 companies, Web 2.0 startups and entrepreneurs

our talents and innovation with Internet and business
strategy, we help convert these concepts into real

planning and execution.
We are a passionate team of entrepreneurs, designers,
strategists, marketers, developers and bloggers.

we excel in leveraging the possibilities of the Internet.
