WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Quiver: A shudder or sudden shiver down the spine. More appropriately, a cylinder-shaped pouch used to hold an archer's arrows. From this vessel, with a specific target in mind, the best tools for each job are drawn.

Communicating is an art. Writing is a craft.
Listening is a gift.

Quiver is a creative collective. A group of highly creative people that is. We love to make beautiful, inspiring things for anyone who's into that sort of thing. Sometimes we make beautiful things for clients. Sometimes we make them for the world at large. Occasionally, we simply make them for ourselves. We are here to make a difference and have a little fun while doing it.

Everybody knows that a great commercial is fueled by the creativity of many, many people. Here are some of our favorites we've had the pleasure of working on.

You get one chance to make a first impression. It's called your logo.

Making stuff look awesome. That's right up there with cleanliness and godliness.

Somebody somewhere will be predicting the death of print for the next hundred years. God bless 'em.
Here are some campaigns we've made along the way with talented partners during our illustrious careers.

It's hip to be square, or rectangle, as it were.
Behold the unbridled undulating visual goodness that's been unleashed within these four corners.

Picture's worth a thousand words. Sketchy-looking stuff is just as valuable. Maybe even more.

It's not the camera. It's not the lens. It's not the lighting. It's the user. We thrive on finding the interesting in what the rest of the world often overlooks or considers mundane.
