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.
