We’re in the Growth Business
We believe that effective design is an organic process, an exercise rooted in the idea that no well-conceived idea can take shape without starting at ground level. This process demands nurturing and patience and as we listen and learn about your business and what your goals are, the idea will grow. Great design, as compelling and beautiful as it may appear, is not whole unless it does as it was intended.
We're not in this to merely spin great designs that sit there and look good. We're here to create outstanding designs combined with a thoughtful approach that works for you and plays a major role in growing your business.
What We Do
Watershed Media creates compelling brand identity programs with impact. We develop stunning websites with an eye on driving customers to your website and through your door. We produce memorable advertising vehicles and e-mail marketing campaigns with reach. As a small business, we understand the needs and challenges of any independent business but we welcome working with companies of all sizes whose wish it is to grow and thrive.
We'll start by completely immersing ourselves in your business. We care more and spend more time laboring over details that you rarely have time to think about. It's more than just design for us, it's about tying everything together, your social media, advertising, in-house promotions, email marketing. It's about understanding your customer base, where they go, what their patterns are. It's about making a compelling argument about why you are different from your competitors. Ultimately, it’s about making sure that you are noticed and that you are memorable.
So Why Us?
Frankly, we’re different too. The truth is that we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't believe that we're damn good at it and can make a difference for our clients. But a better reason is that you've spent huge amounts of time and money building your business. Taking advantage of every opportunity to reach your customers is something you can't afford to ignore. Nobody successful builds a business and just expects to open their doors and be swarmed.
The very name of our company comes from our drive to help businesses like yours bring about change, to reach a turning point where new ideas will spur new growth and vitality. So why us? Because this is what we do better than anyone else and we’ll have fun doing it.

Web
The clock is ticking, your site has less than a minute to be found and then make a good impression. If your site looks like every other site out there you are already behind in the race. Watershed designs compelling sites that tell your story and you control and manage the content. We'll work with you to write the copy, craft the message and create a site that’s easy to navigate and one that has a clear call to action. Our sites are not common, template-driven websites. Watershed sites are built from the bottom up, to your specifications and they feature Inlet, our content management system. Developed for small business owners, Inlet provides a simple web-based platform for non-technical owners to update their website and maintain timely content crucial to the SEO viability of any website.
Our Inlet Content Management System
Your success depends on your ability to remain current and exciting in the eyes of the consumer. Shouldn't your website be as equally dynamic? Watershed Media provides this ability with our Inlet Content Management.
Inlet was designed to provide you with the simplest way of updating your website without having an ounce of technical knowledge. If you are hosting an event next week then take five minutes to add it to your events section. Was an article just published about your business? Share the news with your customers. All you need to do is select the information onscreen that you wish to edit, type in the change and it's done. No clutter, no confusion, no need for training. Frankly, your phone is more complex than Inlet.
Branding
More than simply a logo, a brand identity mirrors your ideals. To the public your brand is both visual identity and emotional reaction. It is the sum of chosen style, color and market positioning combined with the unified voice of your company. Your brand will set the tone for all design, marketing, advertising and communication right down to the way your team answers the phone. It will embody your values and project your personality. Merely seeing a well-designed brand identity will speak volumes about your company without anyone saying a word. Let us craft your public perception.
Marketing
We earned our stripes in the print and advertising medium and we feel it's what makes us so strong in the online world. Our creativity and passion to find "the idea" was born and raised long before these talents were transferred to the web. But even more important is our ability to deliver that clear message to the proper target group and ensure success for your company.
Social Media
Every week it seems a new social channel is created and we work hard to understand how each one works and if it’s the correct vehicle for your business. Watershed can help you navigate this crowded technical field and make sure your brand pages are in sync with the rest of your online messaging. We will also provide training to get your team onboard and keep your message fresh and on-point.
Email Marketing
Know your audience, grow them and keep them close. Businesses not savvy in cultivating an online database of their customers are missing a huge opportunity as E-Mail Marketing continues to change the business landscape. Keeping your core audience in the loop is now crucial to staying in the black. We'll show you how it's done, design a template for your monthly or weekly campaigns and demonstrate how it costs a fraction of traditional print or broadcast advertising.
