Additional Information

WTW Creative is a Michigan-based creative studio helping organizations turn ideas, information, and expertise into communications that connect with people. Founded in 1996, WTW brings three decades of experience to branding, graphic design, websites, video, digital communications, and content development. We work extensively with organizations in higher education, healthcare, research, nonprofit, and professional environments, where communicating complex information clearly and effectively is essential.
Our relationship with the University of Michigan goes particularly deep. WTW has worked with schools, colleges, institutes, departments, research teams, and administrative units across the university on projects ranging from major websites and brand identities to annual reports, presentations, infographics, videos, campaigns, publications, and everyday communications.
That experience means we understand the U-M environment: its brand standards, accessibility requirements, decentralized structure, diverse audiences, and the practical realities of getting projects completed within institutional timelines and processes.

Create with Purpose
Good design is about more than making something look good. It should help people understand, engage, and act.
WTW combines creative thinking with practical execution to help clients clarify what they want to communicate, determine the best way to communicate it, and turn that strategy into effective creative work. Depending on the project, we can serve as an extension of an existing communications team or manage the entire creative process from initial concept through final production.
Our approach is collaborative, responsive, and deliberately straightforward. We work to make complicated projects easier to manage while delivering work that is distinctive, thoughtful, and appropriate for the audience.

Why WTW
WTW combines the capabilities of a full-service creative partner with the accessibility and responsiveness of a small studio.
Our clients work directly with experienced creative professionals throughout their projects. That means less handoff, faster communication, greater continuity, and a team that understands both the creative objective and the details required to deliver it.
For University of Michigan clients, our extensive institutional experience allows us to get up to speed quickly, collaborate effectively with internal teams and stakeholders, and produce work that feels distinctly U-M while still giving each unit, program, or initiative its own voice.

Strategy. Design. Content. Digital. One creative partner from idea to execution.
