MainSpring Media Communications, Inc.

Our philosophy is simple: one size doesn't fit all. Every organization is different and each set of constituents is different. While there may be some commonalities among them, tools need to fit the organization - not the other way around. At MainSpring we build fully customized products that are flexible to meet the changing needs of our clients.

We believe that an organized process and well-structured project team increases efficiency and leads to a better final product overall and a more satisfied client. To that end, we assign a project team dedicated to the creation, production and delivery of your project. The project team includes a dedicated project manager who leads the designer, programmer, and writer (producer, editor and video crew when necessary). Our proven process revolves around taking on the burden of the work and involving the client in review/revision aspects of the project.

Our team is made up of project managers, designers, writers, programmers, producers, editors and business development personnel. We also work with video crews around the country.

"Working with Mainspring was a bit of a revelation. The production process was perhaps the smoothest I’ve experienced with any vendor, whether print or electronic, and yielded a final product that looked great. Stephanie and Ashley offered unparalleled customer service, staying on top of every detail throughout the process and happily accommodating our many, many requests."

"MainSpring creates e-solicitations that truly capture the essence of Emory. Not only are we happy with the products they have created for us but we all really enjoy working with them. They are so accommodating, helpful, responsive, flexible, and we really feel as though they have our best interest in mind – that our success is their success. The e-solicitations have directly and positively impacted our online giving. We are so appreciative of all of their efforts on our behalf."
