Our Clients

Creative Momentum Clients

Creative Momentum Clients represent more than 25 years of collaboration, experimentation, and real creative partnership. Every project has shaped the studio into what it is today. Some collaborations have been brief, others have lasted for years, but each one reflects a shared investment in building work that feels purposeful and built to last.

We believe the strongest results happen when clients show up fully engaged and ready to build something meaningful together. Creative Momentum works best with people who care deeply about their online presence and understand that lasting impact comes from clarity, participation, and trust in the creative process.

What defines our approach is depth. Every client brings a different story, challenge, or ambition. Whether developing a custom digital platform, guiding strategic direction, or producing a creative project, we step into the work with curiosity and commitment. The goal is never to follow a formula. It is to create something that genuinely fits the people behind it.

Over the years, Creative Momentum Clients have come from the entertainment, finance, media, and small-business sectors. This diversity has shaped a perspective that balances creativity with execution. From redefining brand visibility for The Hollywood Reporter at Sundance to producing a live television project with Mark Cuban, our work reflects a blend of vision and follow-through.

Many Creative Momentum Clients return for additional collaborations because the relationship extends beyond a single launch. We see longevity not as a coincidence but as the result of thoughtful work, clear communication, and a wildly helpful approach that prioritizes real partnership over quick wins.

Marion combined the tone, style and content that I was looking for accurately for a very reasonable price. All the feedbacks from my web site have been nothing but positive admiration. Marion not only did an amazing job as the web designer but was also insightful in regards to the layout and content with her marketing eye and expertise in that area. What use is a web site if not marketed properly? She had the vision and follow through on the search engine marketing aspect as well.

Working with Marion at The Hollywood Reporter while attending The Sundance Festival was a complete joy! Marion is very well connected. She produced an amazing week of Sundance TV interviews and managed to get all of us at THR into “A” list parties. She is the Sundance Queen! Marion is professional and yet has that special nuance to make “work” so much fun. After working with Marion I felt supercharged- she has that kind of energy.
