ABOUT.

MANTIKI Creative

We specialize in the transformation of information into experiences that enhance and clarify your vision.

We strive to create impactful traditional and digital experiences. We feel the quality of that first experience determines whether or not people return for more. Sophisticated design alone isn’t enough to compel interest. The cognitive design has to be an integral component. The key to interactive technology is comfort. If the message is to be delivered in a memorable, meaningful way, the interface between humans and technology must be intuitive.

We focus on how people communicate, think, act, and react, developing experiences that are in tune with humans and INSPIRE ACTION!

Although a bit dated and aspirational, this pretty much sums up the type of experiences we strive to create.

THE NAME?

MANTIKI (Swahili for LOGIC) + Creative = Logically Created

Pretty simple. We start with the end goal, whether heads-in-beds, increased traffic, conversation, behavior change, recognition, brand understanding, etc. We strategically develop tactics to achieve that goal. The not-so-secret sauce is to create a platform, image, message, or tool that inspires people to not only be aware but ENGAGE with your brand.

Just think of us as a Spock/Kirk mindmeld.
