The Philipson Groups' Michael Philipson do an outstanding job with web design, company and product marketing as well as special events and promotions. I have taken advantage of all of their services for my personal business, Core Dynamics Pilates and a not for profit I run, The Pilates Initiative. Their attention to detail, follow through and overall brand business review and strategies is unparalleled in my experience. I high recommend this firm. Feel free to contact me for more information.

For the past 15 years we have worked with Michael Philipson of The Philipson Group, and would never think of searching elsewhere for our multitude of communication needs. He has developed, designed and managed our logos, websites, and advertising, all with his "think outside of the box" creative mind. He not only helped with our business, but he also developed and managed all communication needs for a not for profit that we had started. We just love his unique creative flare and have recommended him to several colleagues. Thank you Michael! More...

Michael did an incredible job creating my logo and marketing materials. He quickly understood my business and marketing needs and translated those into creative options that felt like "me". I consistently get compliments on my logo and the design of my materials. More...

Describe your creative process.
First, we ask a lot of questions. We try to get at the essence of what the challenge/problem is. Once we know that - adn a lot of other kinds of info - we begin the creation. The creative process for us is all about getting any and all ideas out on the table, sifting, rearranging, and sometimes just looking at everything from different perspectives until we arrive at the solution. It's like putting everything into a big mixer, and then letting all the ingredients marinate for a bit. Out of this primordial "soup", solid ideas begin to materialize - sometimes fully formed, and sometimes little by little. Everything is possible and we don't close off any avenues until a real direction begins to take shape.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Please see the "questions" section. This just about sums up what we'll need.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the process of creation. Part science, part art form, and part just being open to all the possibilities, the process is actually a bit mysterious. I firmly believe that everyone has that creative process. Just think back to when you were a child. It's there...it just sometimes needs room to freely flow. I love also working with clients to unlock their own creative potential through the project I'm working on with them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Wanted to be my own boss...to have the flexibility to work (and play) on my own time. Also, a feeling of accomplishment in over 20 years of helping clients achieve their goals for their own businesses and organizations.
Why should our clients choose you?
While I've been at this for a long time, I still approach everything with an open mind. My experience helps clients not to waste time on going down unproductive rabbit holes as I guide them to a solution. As a designer, I can create thousands of solutions. But the only one that helps my client is the one that will work for them. And I try to make sure I can quickly get them there with a great - and creative - solution!
