We like to think we have a casual approach to things… no suits and ties here. We’re a creative firm, not a law firm. However, casual does not mean unprofessional. Oink is client-oriented and dedicated to excellence… we just do it in jeans and an easy-going attitude.

Understanding your needs is crucial. We constantly challenge ourselves to achieve results that are more than what is being asked for. Our purpose is to communicate your message as effectively as possible while providing you with creative, intriguing, uncluttered design solutions with flair and high visual impact that are an appropriate and intelligent response to your needs.

We understand brand, budget, deadlines and practicality. We value trust and relationships. We believe in a positive attitude. Mostly, we want to get the job done right. Read Less

Identity.

Web.
You need a website? In tandem with a competent IT Team, we can design a custom website that not only looks great, but has the functionality you need to create a viewer experience that will make people want to come back to your website regularly.

Social Media Marketing.
Social Media Marketing is everywhere and has become an inevitable part of any kind of Web presence. However, it could be a time consuming and frustrating task. We can build and manage your pages, help you create some relevant and interesting content, implement posting schedules, and grow your following. Together with some powerful Social Media tools, Oink can take your online presence to another level.

You want to reach your clients, suppliers and business associates to keep them in the loop about what is new and exciting with your business, promotions and news. You need someone to do this for you. Oink does it all, from designing templates, to proof-reading your content, managing your weekly or monthly E-Mailings and maintaining your subscribers’ database.

Odds & Ends.
Let us help tie it all together by providing small extras like typesetting, minor translation work, proof-reading and image editing (scanning, retouching and optimizing for different media), even something as simple as wanting to blow up that old picture from 1963. Yup, we do that too. Read Less
