A twelve-letter athlete is something special. A mark of excellence.

When thinking about how to present our company to the world, how to build our brand, we thought about who we are as people, as business partners, and as a married couple. What was our story?

TLD was founded by Cliff and Melissa Commanday. As founder and art director, I’ve been a designer, teacher, manager, and art director since the early nineties, while Melissa has been a marketing director for over a decade. But we had to look beyond just job titles. We wanted to capture a feeling.

We went back to the beginning when everyone described my wife as a scholar athlete. Melissa was her high school’s first-ever twelve-letter athlete­, playing on the varsity teams of three sports during all four years of high school.

This spirit of excellence is at the heart of our story. It’s the mentality we bring to discovering each of our clients’ stories.

We work with companies to develop their brand through strategic design.

Typically, we work with CEOs and presidents who are concerned about developing new marketing strategies. We also work with new business leaders who tell us they are anxious about building a business, as well as creative and marketing directors who complain about being frustrated with unreliable design services.

We work with you to find your story and determine the best way to tell it.

Our services include a full spectrum of traditional and digital marketing, from websites to business cards, from logos to your social media.

Your brand is built upon a consistency of promise.
