We’re proud of our clients. Some of them are very big – and others are not. Some want web design – and others just want unique branding. Regardless of their size, they all benefit from our unique combination of creativity, know-how, professionalism and value. But don’t take our word for it; take our customers.

Tom, thank to you and Freshwater Creative for providing the new look for our candle line. It has given us the shelf appeal that the old design lacked. It was a pleasure to work with you and the very organized Freshwater crew to bring this exciting new look to our products.

Ashley Ward has been in business for over 100 years. Over time, our branding had become dated and out of sync with our state-of-the-art machining capabilities. Freshwater Creative helped us recognize this, and created a new fresh, current, and relevant look for our corporate branding. We love it, and so do our customers. Thanks Tom.

Terry Bien, President, Ashley Ward

Gazing at goldfish in the small pond in his back yard, Tom Hutchinson reflected how those tiny brilliant fish reminded him of small businesses, swimming amongst bigger, less colorful, and less agile fish, all competing for the same food.

After many years working with large, slow moving consumer products companies in Cincinnati, Tom built Freshwater Creative on a belief that small businesses, like those tiny goldfish, can compete with larger businesses if they are more brilliant and more agile.

So the tiny goldfish became our icon, our symbol that you don’t have to be big to stand out, but rather brilliant and agile.

Our goal is to help businesses create and manage their brand/s and marketing communications, so they can stand out, and better compete with the bigger fish in their pond.

Whether you need simple marketing, graphic design, or a complete branding and marketing program, our process is the same.

We sit down with you wherever you’re comfortable, and get to know you, your business, and your goals. We learn about your industry and your market.

We intently listen to your needs, and then we explore your competition in order to assess the differences, similarities, and opportunities.

We then put our many years of experience to work and develop recommendations for you to consider. We discuss them together, and revise them if needed. We then provide you with cost estimates and timelines, and once approved, we execute.

Not a lot of flashy presentations that add to the cost. Not a lot of layers of approvals. Not a lot of over-inflated egos. Just brilliant ideas and agile response.
