Based on past in-house work experience for larger corporations, ad agencies, design studios, in Charlotte and Atlanta, we now offer those same skills as Misenheimer Creative, Inc. Our sweet spot is marketing + creative for Ministries, Technology firms and in-house Corporate Communications departments. We help them sell their products/services, advertise their events or compellingly present their viewpoint. All since 2002.

Web Development/Design, Logo/Branding Development, and Print Collateral are the 3 primary offerings, but we have lots of experience in other types of pieces as well, such as Marketing Strategy, Trade Shows, Signage (wayfinding), Outdoor (billboards), Vehicle Wraps, Product Packaging, Motion Graphics, Photography, Book Covers, Social Media Post Graphics, Copy/Content Development, UX/UI Design/Development, Videography and some Marketing Automation. Whew! What don’t we do? (After all, It is hard to be an expert at everything, huh?!) We typically do not do any tv or radio broadcast work, nor do we handle a firm’s social media posts and presence. (Social Media Management). Or Plumbing. Definitely not good at plumbing. We can, however, price, mange and press check commercial print jobs for you.

This is where the fun starts for both of us! We begin work, by conceptualizing, sketching, looking at your competition’s branding, and other methods. We develop several roughs for your review, then you share your comments with us. We take your comments and revise the roughs to be a little tighter, and send you a new round of revised designs or concepts. This continues for 3-4 rounds. This way, we are both using the same ‘visual baseline’; you are seeing and getting what you want, mixed with our best practices and trends of the design world.

Specifically, the steps are:

Please reach out to us at hello@misenheimer.com or 678.777.3165, with any questions at all.

For first-time clients, we require 50% of the total up front. After that first job, we simply invoice you at the completion of the project/campaign, net 15, going forward. A mailed check is certainly fine. We can also accept credit cards, however, we get charged a 3% fee for the credit card processor so we add that 3% on to your final invoice that you want to pay by credit card (hey, maybe a few more airline miles at least). If you would like to discuss retainers or an ongoing schedule of work, which are great, then please reach out to us at hello@misenheimer.com or 678.777.3165.

Ah! I wish I knew as well…(yes, this is where I say “it depends on the functions and features you want”, which is quite true.) If you were considering having a house custom built, and asked the contractor, ‘hey, how much would you charge to build me a house?”, he or she would likely not blurt out a price but ask some questions to determine its size, if you already owned the land, what type of construction material and so forth. But if you are still reading, and I know some of you are, you really want a range… just give me the minimum and the maximum! Well, very broadly speaking, a simple web site can cost just shy of $1000, and high-ed sites might go $35,000, or more.

A Creative Brief is basically a series of questions about your project/campaign, which not only helps me understand the goals for your project, but helps you further delineate them in your own mind, as well. You can see it here.

I thought you would never ask! (Sorry, bad joke.) Unless we are helping with these items that follow, to save time later, please start gathering/finding your existing/creating:

Of course, once we are seriously considering working together. Simply email me to request those at hello@misenheimer.com and I will try to supply references from your or a similar industry.

Yes. I have been a Graphic Designer (10 years), Art Director (2 years) and Creative Director (4 years) for other design firms and corporate communications departments, in Atlanta and Charlotte. I incorporated Misenheimer Creative, Inc. in 2002 and have been its ‘Creative Director/Founder and Chinchilla Farmer’ since then. If you would like to see my full background via my resumé, please see: http://clients.misenheimer.com/v/qpSmy1e6vNM3Oc8X1QrX

Unfortunately, no. Generally, building on another’s inexperienced and non-professional foundation results in a less-than-desirable outcome for all involved.

Yes, at times, for a cause we believe in. Please reach out to us at hello@misenheimer.com or 678.777.3165 to discuss this more.

All the design work seen on misenheimer.com is the work of the Founder, Mark Misenheimer. After all, we have been providing marketing and creative services since 2002, and before that if you count our time at agencies and corporate communications departments. Each Client is unique and has specialized needs for their marketing. Sometimes, the Client has a budget that allows for full custom, creative expression and exploration; and that gives us great latitude to take the time to do most everything. However, at other times, when a Client’s budget is more limited, we may use some stock imagery or parts thereof, or stock photography rather than do an on-location, custom photo shoot, which may fit the Client’s budget better. Further, we do have alliance members that we know and trust that we employ for services outside such as commercial printing, SEO work, some web site coding (development), heavy production, or thick copywriting needs, all done under our watchful eye. But yes, by and large, the concepts, the “feel”, and the design work that you see here was created by Mark Misenheimer.

I am glad you asked. (I would likely ask too.) And you are in good company, as the 10,345th Asker (or thereabouts).Actually, “faith stuff” rarely comes up (unless you are a Ministry.) We strive to be the kind of people that other people would want to work with: honest, fair, patient, conscientious, reliable, provide a fair value, and etc., which is the same that we all want from our government, or our physicians, dentists, brokers, and etc., to deal with us. So…nope, you won’t get pressured or anything even remotely like that.This ‘stance’ is actually a bumper, of sorts, that prevents some industries (adult industries, illegal activities or designing for people that put pineapple on pizza, etc.) from even contacting me in the fist place. Simply put, we are Jesus-Followers; we believe that everyone will live forever somewhere. We have not arrived to any spiritual high ground. We sin daily; but by faith we are enjoying God’s provision of grace for all Eternity. We know that valuing character traits, such as kindness, honesty, patience, and providing value, is good thing in both business and personal dealings.

No problem. We would be glad to talk ‘live’ or email with you at no cost or obligation. Please reach out to us at hello@misenheimer.com or 678.777.3165, with any questions, and we will try to help.
