Services
We connect people to brands through thoughtfully crafted brand strategies, design, and marketing services. Strategy is the foundation of a strong brand. We take care to ensure your marketing goals and business objectives are driven by your brand's unique opportunities and value. We are experts at capturing your brand's core motivations, identity, and voice.
Rick Callahan is an entrepreneur dedicated to growth. He started his first business at the age of 22 in a sublet office within a manufacturing facility in Meriden, CT. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Krative - a branding, design, and marketing agency in the heart of New Haven, CT. As Krative's CEO, he is often seeking the next big opportunity for Krative.
Our best work is the result of a deep understanding of who our clients are. Not just what they do or hope to accomplish through marketing, but why they do what they do, how they do it, and what drives them to continue doing so. Either way, our first objective when meeting a potential client is to understand the vision for their brand.
Your organization has an identity all its own. It has its own personality and it even speaks with its own voice. We are experts at capturing these fundamentals to express exactly what you need to say, and how you need to say it. Whether through digital, print, or somewhere in-between, we design identities, brand messaging, and marketing collateral that works for its intended audience.
Do you strategically use certain colors, fonts, shapes, imagery, and words to express a precise message and tone? One of the first lessons that we often convey to new clients is that as designers our job is to convey & communicate to their ideal markets - instead of simply appealing to personal preference of aeshetic.

I've been working with Rick and Krative for over a year now. They built my website, which is gorgeous and people love to visit. They also have helped me with my marketing planning. Rick and his team are easy to work with and very responsive. When it comes to design, they can't be beat. They took my colors and log and designed a website that exceeded all my expectations and reflected my brand perfectly. Highly recommend them!

I highly recommend working with Rick and his team to anyone who is looking for great brand representation in todays marketplace.

Rick and his team are great to work with. Rick has a great capacity for synthesizing ideas and execution. Our Coworking Space needed to build a virtual platform for our community during Covid19 and Krative was able to work not only on the marketing side, but also on the IT integration. I enjoyed working with them.

When it comes to starting a business - I was clueless. I had this GREAT idea (well about a hundred of them all bouncing around and competing for attention in my brain), and I just KNEW that now was the time to put the wheels in motion, and share these ideas with the world. I was smart enough to realize that I couldn't do it all on my own, and so I decided that I needed a company that could help me market the idea, and help create flyers and such for me. I had no idea where to begin, and so I did what any self respecting 30 something would do. I googled it. I must have sent out a dozen emails, but

Weblux is a superb website development company. When I was researching companies to do my website I compared all the prices and quality. Many companies will offer only template style websites that look dreary, others do 100% custom work but charge upwards of 5 to 10 thousand dollars and that doesn't even include all the startup process work and hosting and everything. Weblux on the other hand has extremely competitive prices, they can work well with budgets and their staff will sit down face to face with you if you really want and walk you through the entire process and explain every step
