About Our Team

Mission

There is a growing movement happening in the culture today which is focused on making the world a better place. Thousands of nonprofit (as well as for profit) organizations are focused on helping people, seeking justice, correcting oppression, defending the fatherless, pleading the widow’s cause and so much more. We believe that through their efforts, and Jesus’s strength, the world will become a better place.
Vision

Our vision is to come along side these organizations and help them help others. We will bring our gifts of design for creating print and online promotional collateral with our marketing and promotional skills. We can help present your organization as a professional, well established and effective organization. One that evokes confidence from potential donors, volunteers and communities, better equipping you to fulfill your calling, and more time to focus on your organization/ministry.
Purpose

We work with our clients in order to create a pricing structure that can help new and small nonprofits afford customized and quality logos, brochures, event collateral, email and social media campaigns, complete website packages and more. We offer full agency resources and experience to help you raise more awareness, support and donations. The goal and purpose of Four Winds Agency is to spread your message to the four corners of the Earth effectively and with finesse.

Four Winds Agency is extremely responsive to all our needs by providing creative solutions and ideas for best ways to market our organization and completes everything in a timely manner – even in those “quick-turnaround” times. I highly recommend Four Winds for their talents and skills for web design but also because of their integrity, honesty and concern for others in our community and the world. They are a blessing to us and all who come in contact with them.

Four Winds Agency is amazing. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both Richard and Greg on several design projects including a digital and print magazine. Both designers are open to suggestions and corrections, and they tailor everything to suit your individual themes and tastes. Both are quick to respond (even when the deadline is right around the corner), and the finished project is always what you want and more. Will always recommend Four Winds and its designers for any project!

We recently have had several occasions to work with Richard Blount II. We were thoroughly impressed with his skill as a photographer and felt that he was actually working with us, as a partner would do. He was able to take our vague ideas and turn them into the perfect photograph and the perfect ad layout. He exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend him to anyone else who is in need of “creative genius”.

Four Winds Agency is my go to source for everything marketing. I feel confident that their wealth of experience will guide me in the right direction when it comes to branding myself. The recent Direct Mail piece that Four Winds designed for me is timeless and continues to drive results. I find working with this agency to be easy both in communication and delivery of final product. Very pleased with this partnership!
