About Us
We’re a new breed of creative agency that prides itself on generating ideas that will fundamentally change the way others look at and interact with your business.
We have a passion for giving someone a reason to engage with your company and keep them coming back. Our focus at FORGE is not on winning design awards, or building up our own reputation, but on helping our clients succeed by figuring out how to make great design and programming work for them. Design awards are nice, but that’s not our goal - our goal is results that positively affect your bottom line.
Our business model was born out of asking ourselves these questions: “What makes us different?”, and “What do we excel at?” While very difficult questions to answer, our responses centered on setting ourselves apart by listening to our clients needs, discussing ideas with them, and creating a plan that is the best solution.
Our target is mainly mid-range-to-large companies in the Midwest and beyond that are looking to improve their overall marketing and brand image. Our strength lies in evaluating all areas of a company’s brand, determining whether the company is communicating brand “essence” effectively, and suggesting a course of action that seeks to improve weak areas. To do so, we conduct research on a company’s competitors, essentially to inform ourselves on how to make our client stand out among them.
Another area where FORGE excels is in taking ideas and making them reality. These ideas may be products, software, or applications that make life or work easier, or are just plain fun. After all, we do feel a bit of an obligation to live up to our tagline, “Where Ideas Take Shape.”
