About Momentum 18

Working with clients across the country. Approachable, accountable, and highly experienced. Momentum 18 is comprised of one award-winning designer, Matt Chansky, backed by an expert team of seasoned professionals. Matt is a print, web, and messaging expert who thrives on elevating the branding of small and medium size businesses. And for the Fortune 500 company, he is a dedicated brand steward offering fresh ideas. Momentum 18 is best described as a full-service ad agency or design firm (and then some). The aim with each account is to become expert in your business and a trusted extension of your team.

Walking The Talk

Some highlights from the last six months of 2010: just a few month’s after launch, a client’s product is featured on Good Morning America; won two American Graphic Design Awards; two logos selected into the LogoLounge Book Series; won a platinum MarCom Award; featured in the New Big Book of Layouts; featured in Graphic Design Magazine USA Magazine; numerous clients added jobs into the economy-web marketing successes leading the way; one client breaks all profit records their first year working with Matt; launched three new businesses.

The pursuit of excellence, individualized client attention, and integrity are not just lofty catch phrases, they are truly a way of life at Momentum 18. Winning awards on a continual basis is normal (see the list below). Getting e-mails about client successes is normal. And keeping to high standards is the mandate. As an award-winning designer, I am supported by a small select team of seasoned professionals – writers, programmers, and research assistant. By staying small I am personally connected with my clients and the work I produce for them. Clients value the direct interaction and lack of a management layer. What clients also value is the breadth of services that I offer along with the sincere passion to strive for excellence. Most often I am hired as a full-service design firm, handling the myriad of details that a team would handle. Other times, clients hire me for smaller a la carte projects. Core competencies include: new business launches, business rebranding, custom logo design, custom web design, graphic design, exhibit design, SEO, and advertising / marketing consulting. I am highly experienced working with businesses of every shape and size, uniquely responsive, and deadline oriented. I have a deep commitment to both design and business excellence, which is why my full-service clients enjoy great success. I am profoundly grateful to all of my clients for giving me the opportunity to do what I love for a living.

–Matt Chansky

Clients

Clients do business in a variety of market segments: technology, medical and health-related, law, retail, engineering, financial management, and manufacturing to name a few.

Because work is reviewed primarily through email, it does not matter where your company is located to receive great service.
