M2 Creative - Simply M2 to our friends and customers - is a small design group based in a fabulous space in downtown Ferndale. We were born from the growing need of our clients to have access to high quality, affordable design services locally.
Our company houses a key senior staff of seasoned artists and designers, motivated by a passion to push the boundaries of creative and technical possibilities. M2’s in-house design team handle local, national and international projects alike. We have the experience to pull together a team that is specifically geared to your project, and while we are best known for award-winning CGI and motion graphics, many of our clients also enjoy our video production services and audio production/post-production expertise. Chances are that the great track you just heard on a nifty ad was one of our original compositions.
We have grown over the past 10 years, offering a full complement of services to ad agencies, marketing groups and clients direct. The one thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to producing great work, within schedule and on-budget.
