ABOUT
About Creative Bearings
Everyday we are told, "You nailed it!" - This is because we envision what your customers really need when promoting their business. This is not to enhance our portfolio, but to design specifically for each and every business. Perusing our portfolio, you might notice that none of our designs look cookie-cutter. That's because they are not. When designing we have one goal, to make our customers shine in their marketplace.
Creative Bearings has two decades of graphic design, advertising and website design experience. Located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, we serve customers in and around the Summit Valley, Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Aspen, Vail and Grand Junction.
We are committed to helping new businesses and events make a unique and original presence. We provide creative excellence within any budget. We measure, design and implement comprehensive visual solutions that drive valuable customers, straight to you - in web, radio, video and print.
Every day is a new day, with a new set of perimeters. New customers, old customers, they are all our friends and neighbors. We love working with them and watching their businesses succeed. When we see them at the grocery store, we know we did a great job for them and they know we treated them with honesty and integrity.
Expect us to work as long and hard as it takes to come up with the freshest, best looking and smartest logos, designs, websites and advertising.
Anticipate deliberate progress from real people that learn and understand your vision and voice.
Get found on the Internet because your customers are in fact searching for your services.
Expect surprises in the execution of our work, not in our billing.
Get results by knowing the right places to advertise and by having the team behind you who quality-control every ad, web page and print project.
Finally, get a creative team that designs for your success, not for their portfolio.
Our Process:
In this fast paced world of emails, texts, social networking, tweets, posts, nothing quite starts off our relationship like a good old fashioned conversation. We want to understand where you're coming from, both figuratively and literally. We'll do some talking, we'll do a lot of listening, and we'll ask some questions.
Then we'll propose a plan. No surprises, no fine print. Just a plan that allows you to understand exactly what to expect from us. We make recommendations. We instill trust, confidence, and that feeling of "ahhhh, now I know where to go with this".
You hire us for a project, or several, or all of them. Then we get creative. Here's where the real fun begins.
A steady stream of communication and follow through will keep the proverbial ball rolling, while your marketing visions unfold before your eyes. It's not done until you say it is. Revisions and revelations go hand in hand. Let's get it perfect.
Then we add the technical part, be it printing, coding, bringing the perfection to "life".
The process is the adventure. We're here to make it easy. We're here to make it enjoyable. And the ultimate goal is your success. Because your success is ours.
Quick Question and Answer:
What should customers know about Creative Bearings?
We live in a small resort town, surrounded by beauty, no traffic, heavenly restaurants and a friendly local community. We choose to live here, but we work with companies all over the country. Life is too short to be caught up in traffic and noise. We surround ourselves with good folks, great activities (skiing, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and outdoor on location painting). We truly enjoy the work we do, and the result is noticeable. We could live anywhere, but in the age of the internet, we knew early on that we could have the best of both worlds.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a a Graphic Designer or Web Developer?
Marketing and design should be the most fun part of your business. It's a partnership. If you don't feel that your marketing firm understands your vision or shares your approach, then search for a different partnership. Both sides will benefit in the long run!
How did Creative Bearings get started doing this type of work?
Our founder, Gregory Effinger was a fine artist and illustrator before starting Creative Bearings in 1989. His work was available at world-class galleries. Nevertheless, his desire to design, market and work with professionals out-weighed his desire to paint in seclusion. He still does unique watercolor and oils today, but not on the same scale as before.
