Our Process
- Discovery
- Concepting
- Production
- Happy Client
We take the time to learn about your organization, your values, and your mission. We evaluate your strategic outcomes--whether they be fund- or friend-raising, legislative change, community building, online advocacy, etc--and assess where you are now in relation to those goals. Then we propose solutions to help you close the gap. This unique, outcomes-based planning process results in communications initiatives that are tied inextricably to your mission; acting as proactive drivers of change.
Once we know where you need to go, we devise the channels and tools that will get you there. We'll present several design "comps" for your review. Each will be distinct and fully realized, yet commonly informed by your organization's goals, audience, and calls-to-action. You'll choose the concept you like best and we'll tweak and revise it until you're absolutely in love with the final product.
What you see when we deliver your final product will be the pixel-perfect "live" version of what you saw during the concepting phase. No surprises. We'll handle every production detail, from printing and mailing, to site development, to testing, deployment, and launch. You have important world-saving work to do, after all.
We provide up to six months of email and phone support upon each project's conclusion, as well as a follow-up meeting to assess the success of the product or service we delivered. We want our work to work for you.

Why Matterhorn

Client testimonials
Matterhorn helped our coalition of 14 organizations through a process of branding. With their support, we changed our name, got a slick new logo, a clean and easy-to-update website, and compelling printed annual reports. Through it all, they were great about helping us develop a process and timeline that was clearly laid out and helped us include all members of our coalition. Natasha helped keep us focused on our overall communication goals, kept our designs clean and user-friendly, and was great to work with.

We hired Matterhorn to redesign our ten-year-old logo and website. From the initial meeting to the finished products, Natasha exceeded our requests and worked diligently and patiently within our budget. She brought creative, out-of-the-box ideas and delivered a website that met the recommendations of all involved with the project. Natasha and her team have a knack for figuring things out. We implemented a new, third-party software program, and they never stumbled. Natasha is a fantastic asset and best of all, she is one of the most pleasant individuals I have worked with.

Matterhorn consitently provides our organization with excellent communication advice and materials. Natasha and her team are fluent in all new media tools and move seemlessly between print, electronic, and live (event) formats. I highly recommend their work.

Natasha is an innovative communicator and strategic thinker who endeavors first to understand your needs before developing the perfect solution for your needs. Her inclusive, thoughtful approach and elegant product design, uniquely harmonize message with mission.

Matterhorn was outstanding every step of the way. The best part was this: Natasha asked me in the beginning to create a list of brand attributes that I wanted for the school's new website. After the project was complete, we asked a group of beta-testers to list adjectives to describe the look and feel of the site, and it was a spot-on match for the list we created in the beginning. Natasha is really, really good, and great fun to work with, a complete professional from start to finish.

I've worked with Matterhorn for over 4 years. They consistently bring a fresh, creative, and pragmatic voice to projects. Natasha's communication strategies are inventive and effective. She has a unique personal style that is recognizable in all of her print/design pieces. I would highly recommend Matterhorn to anyone seeking innovative, smart ideas in marketing and communications.

Natasha is an experienced communications professional with excellent design, writing and campaign skills, and she is a pleasure to work with. She has expanded effectively our outreach for Moving Images films.

Natasha has a creative and elegant mind that generates new ideas at a rapid rate, as well as a keen grasp of organizational dynamics and the challenges and opportunities of leadership that they create. She also writes extremely clearly and persuasively. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Natasha is doing great work helping me develop an effective social media strategy for my independent economic justice education work. Smart, thoughtful and attentive to my needs. I highly recommend her and her team.
