About

The core function of Momentum 18 is to be an authentic component of business growth. All work is custom designed for the individual business, tied closely with the brand messaging/value proposition of each company or brand.

Momentum 18 is a one-person studio in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina run by myself, Matt Chansky. I am a multiple award-winning designer. My web design and logo design work will be published in The New Big Book of Layouts and the esteemed LogoLounge Master Library Series, respectively. Recently, I have been the subject of several articles discussing the role of design in business success.

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. 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, SEO, as well as advertising and 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 clients enjoy great success – come join them. Please read a few Success Stories below.

—Sincerely, Matt Chansky

 

A Selection of Recent Success Stories

> Four months after launching RESPIT™, it was featured on Good Morning America. RESPIT™ was developed by Jon Plant, DVM of SkinVet® Clinic, also a client of Momentum 18. Two game-changing print and web launch branding packages are leading the way to huge success for this small practice.

great design and great marketing comprise the DNA for your company's success. One without the other will have limited results.
