Volsic Creative

Introduction

It all started for Volsic Creative back in 2000. Some might call it entrepreneurship. David Volsic likes to think of it as an awakening of sorts. Because after 25+ years in the advertising business, he looked around and realized that there was a major need for great work outside the confines of an advertising agency or design studio. The idea of a creative alliance was formed and he hasn’t looked back since.

Previously Volsic was a partner with Debra Harris in Salt Lake City’s first award-winning creative boutique, Harris.Volsic Creative, for 10+ years. After a short stint as president of another advertising and design firm, he decided to forgo the agency experience and go to contract freelance.

Today, Volsic Creative provides a full range of creative services for a diverse range of industries from real estate, consumer, and business-to-business to retail, publishing and entertainment.

I Shoot out the Work

Introduction

Use me for special projects. For overload. Or as a creative powerhouse to save the day when you’re up against a ferocious deadline.

I work with ongoing clients, ad agencies, in-house departments, start-ups or just one-time thingamabobs. Whether it’s an invitation, a newsletter, a retail store or product roll-out or a total branding campaign, I’ve done it all. For a wide variety of appreciative clients. Sure, I’ve worked at big agencies on big brands solving big problems. But the only thing big about me these days is my thinking.

I'll give you an arresting style to make it stand out from the competition. Need alluring copy? Or total concepts? I can deliver that as well. In essence, I give you pictures and words. However, if you fancy yourself an amateur Hemingway and just need design, I can do that.

The Work Speaks for itself

Introduction

Project-based clients have included Bella Cosmetics, Bremer Public Relations, ACG Utah, Fuji, Pam Dion Events, Screenvision, Hamlet Homes, ISI, Swaner Nature Preserve, Talisker, The Courtyards at Quarry Village, Vision International, Au Naturale Restaurant, UofU, and Westminster College among others.

100s of awards including: ADDY Awards, Communication Arts, Creativity Regional Emmy Award, International Council of Shopping Centers, MAXI Awards, New York Art Director’s Club, Parents Choice Awards, PRINT Regional Design Annual, Retail Advertising Council Awards, Shopping Bag Design, Silver Microphone Awards, National Winner, Telly Awards.
