About
Our Why
When business communication falls flat, it doesn’t just confuse; it limits your growth. And you may not even know it’s happening. When Ken Kinard, our founder, noticed great businesses with mediocre messaging, his passion to change it was ignited, and our creative agency was born.
Creativity Means Business
Since 1999, hundreds of businesses and organizations in Baltimore and around the world have partnered with us to strengthen their communication. We measure the success of our creative work with a single metric: it grows your business. Partner with us, and we will help you communicate more creatively and effectively.
Our Creative Marketing Approach
Three key concepts help you grow your business and increase your impact:
Effective communication
Maximize your ROI by making sure you’re communicating in a way that resonates with your audience and prompts the intended response.
Creativity
A combination of novelty and relevance, “creativity” means that an idea is both clever and it works. When you partner with us, you’ll receive fresh energy and perspective for your business communication and marketing strategy.
Excellence
Whatever we’re working on, we put our heart into it. (Colossians 3:23–24) We strive to promote human flourishing, and we feel blessed to serve.
Our Baltimore-Based Creative Team
Ken Kinard
Ken clarifies the strategy. With a background in music technology (Peabody Conservatory, Apple), education (Biola University), and coaching (ICF certification), he oversees strategy and whatever is next. He values learning and growth; strengths include strategy, intellection, relating, and achievement. His life goal is to be the most creative guy you know.
Carolyn
Carolyn makes sure your project stays on track and accomplishes the goal. She values authenticity and dependability; natural abilities include organizing abstract concepts and persistence. With a degree in English and experience in publishing, she writes with empathy and care. She balances rigor and kindness, even when correcting our grammar.
Sarah
Sarah is extremely high in idea productivity and observation. We all appreciate her pointing out what we failed to notice, and she helps ensure that the technical details actually support the stated goal. She has a degree in professional writing, and she values clarity and truth.
Teagen
With a flare for the theatrical, Teagen loves the intersection of design and technology. Her work is fresh and vibrant, without abandoning practicality. Her degree in visual communication design has prepared her to find new ways to communicate on screen and on the page. Always learning and growing, Teagen brings your brand to life.
Tennyson
TJ naturally relates to people through music and words. He’s methodical, whimsical, and expressive. He combines optimism with a strong commitment to getting results through steady effort. He’s masterful with audio, video production, writing, and website analytics. He is the first to notice why your website isn’t working and what you can do to improve it.
How Creative Marketing Works for You
How a creative team works for you really matters. Too passive, and the team doesn’t help you grow. Too active, and the team takes control. To strike a balance, we don’t create for you; we create with you.
