What Makes Us Different

We are different (by different, we mean better) than other advertising and/or design agencies because our branding efforts often lead to organizational and operational changes within our clients’ businesses. Not only do our clients end up with beautifully designed brand collateral, they also have a solid foundation that motivates the entire organization to start thinking like the brand. It’s not a magic bullet, secret formula or marketing gimmick. Our process takes research, commitment, hard work and dedication. The end result will unite your entire organization in a common belief system, turn your employees into brand zealots and build your organization into a superior brand.

Philosophy — Life. Business. Art.
Our philosophy is inherent in our name and in how we build value for our clients. The name Cartis is a word created from three Latin words meaning life, business and art. Life always comes first — quality of life for our clients, vendors, our team members and our families. We are in the business of driving revenue, creating loyalty and inspiring emotion for our clients. Art is the inspiration and passion of our business.

History
Cartis Group was built from the ground up to build brands. Our humble beginnings start in 1992, when Shannon Carter formed mc2 Creative, which quickly became a highly acclaimed design agency. Over the years, we perfected our branding process (BrandSmart). In 2001, we changed our name to Cartis Group to better communicate our metamorphosis into a full-service national branding agency. Today, Cartis Group has one of the most talented teams in the creative industry. We are left-brain planners and strategists and right-brain creative directors and designers — it’s this mix that creates success for our clients.
