Indy
Although she’s always believed she’s secretly one of Queen Elizabeth’s royal corgis, Indy (short for Indy-Ana) is originally from Kingman, AZ. She spent most of her youth thinking almost exclusively about food and ways to acquire more of it.
After years of following kids around hoping for dropped crumbs and skillfully getting to stored food products, Indy decided to take her looks and talents elsewhere: the world of social media. When the CREATE180 Design team quickly realized that Indy has the charm to captivate clients’ hearts, she became the agency’s head spokesperson.
Indy’s wit and sassy walk continue to win her followers—and laughs—as she consistently proves herself a valuable part of the company.
Interested in hiring CREATE180 Design?
We’ve been doing this for a while now, and have gained some insights into what makes for the most successful partnerships between us and clients from any given industry. Below is a little information to help you decide if our agency would be a good fit for you.
Consider the following to help decide if we're the agency for you:
If you already know what you want and are just looking for someone to build it, we won't be a good fit
We follow a brand positioning process to effectively communicate your value proposition directly to your target market. This process and its results are a big part of who we are; we don't work on projects that don't involve this aspect.
We want this to be a collaborative effort
Every project should be a partnership. You're the expert in your brand and industry, and we'll be counting on that; we're experts at what we do, so have confidence in our talents and experience. When it all comes together, the results are great
You should want to develop core elements of your branding strategy
Again, we start with some brand positioning homework in an in-person discovery session. Be willing and prepared to dig into your unique selling proposition, your differentiator, your target audience, and your brand messaging. It’s worth it.
You should recognize that your brand has a story to tell—and want to tell it
Our goal is to design a website and execute digital marketing that generates more leads and sales and connects you to a growing, engaged following of fans. That requires telling a compelling brand story to your target market.
We aren’t the solution if you’re simply looking for the lowest price available
We provide modern websites, big business-caliber brand positioning, and valuable digital marketing at fair, affordable prices for small and mid-size brands. Some agencies charge lower fees, but we deliver exceptional value for our price point.
We aren’t the solution if you need your project completed immediately
We have relatively quick turnaround for our industry and size, but we don’t rush or cut corners. We’ve carefully honed our process and want to do everything right. We’re determined that every completed project reflects well on our client and on us.
