The last few months of the year tend to spark something in all of us. Whether it’s the holidays or just being around more family, there is something about this season that always tends to brighten people’s spirits. Winter can be challenging for those dealing with cold weather and snow for months and months. The holidays, however, tend to give …
With the holidays right around the corner, we’re looking forward to welcoming back a friendly face – the Backwards Burglar. You may not have heard about him yet, but the Backwards Burglar is our holiday hero at Michigan Creative. While his name may not sound so inviting, his goal is to “burglarize” families in a helpful way. Instead of taking things …
The word creativity can sometimes get a limiting rap. Common associations include painting, drawing, and anything else you can fit on a canvas. However, at Michigan Creative, we believe creativity goes beyond the canvas. We bring it into everyday life to liven things up and strengthen business and marketing strategies through creative problem-solving. We like to put it this way …
We are Michigan Creatives. You may have heard us say this or noticed it in one of our campaigns, but what do we mean by this? This statement means so much more than just being a creative who lives in Michigan. In fact, this is so much more than a statement to our team, and it all circles back to …

These are just a few of the worldwide logos and designs behind strong brands. Often time’s people think …
You would think an advertising management major would find an internship easily, right? Wrong. I started applying for internships in the Fall of 2018 and everyone answered, “Sorry, but we’re looking for candidates with more experience,” but how am I supposed to gain experience if nobody will hire me? The harsh winter came and career fairs at Michigan State University …
I first started working for Michigan Creative in June of 2018. Although nervous to start, I knew I’d fit in after conversations with CEO, Brian Town, and research I had done. Before I knew it, I had a desk in Michigan’s capital, went to SBAM events, created inside jokes with my new co-workers, and worked as Brian’s assistant. (Or as …
It took us eight years, but our core values are written, posted, and followed by all. Eight years? It sounds terrible. How could a company be in business for eight years and not have core values? We had them. We had our Manifesto, which served as our core, our rules. Our Manifesto also aligns well with our core values. …
Two years ago, I woke up at 6 AM every day sick to my stomach. I got up, got ready for work, and hopped into the car where I stopped by Tim Hortons and pick up a Steak, Egg and Cheese sandwich and a Mocha Iced Capp. I would proceed to take a few bites on the way to work, …
