Who We Are
FTW Creative is a small design firm headquartered in New York City. For the past several years, we've provided custom design solutions for a host of clients across a wide spectrum of fields, including web design, online creative development, and video production & editing. Regardless of the project's scope, each of our clients gets the same level of attention and the same result: total satisfaction.
Why FTW Creative?
Because of our small size, we at Mone8° are able to focus 100% of our efforts on the successful execution and design of your campaign. Unlike dealing with a large agency, you won't have to worry that our attention will be divided or that we'll already be looking toward the next project. Rather, with us, you'll know that we're there with you every step of the way, from the very first phone call to closing out the very last detail of your campaign. That's the FTW Creative promise.
FTW Creative Philosophy
We at FTW Creative believe the key to every successful campaign is effective communication between client and agency. This is more than just a mantra, this is our steadfast belief. We will work with you to conceptualize creative that stands out from the crowd and we won't stop until we know you're satisfied with the work we've done. Getting it done right is more important to us than getting it done quickly.
