Tandem Design Inc., a strategic multi-media graphic design firm with a unique ability to combine business tactics with creative implementation, is proud to announce its national expansion and the addition of Sandy Rabin as the new vice president and account director. Led by Lee Ann Havenga, the company has opened a new office servicing the western US in Flagstaff, Arizona, along with an additional Illinois office in Deerfield, headed up by Rabin. These new offices will help to expand the company’s focus on providing the best design services for new and existing clientele, and strengthening Tandem Design’s presence nationwide.
The Chicago freelance design company grew into a full-service design and communications firm in just two short years, when Havenga opened its offices to Ottawa, Illinois in 1995. Business flourished as Havenga commissioned the best talent in the field to join her team – conceptualizing, executing and refining their client’s creative and marketing needs. Now Havenga is honored to welcome Rabin to her pool of talent.
With a focus on brand development and luxury packaging, Rabin brings over 25 years of experience in advertising, marketing, project management and communications to Tandem Design. “We are excited to have Sandy a part of the Tandem Design team. She will be a great asset, heading up our Midwest offices as our company expands national,” says Havenga. “Her ability to work with clients and truly understand their needs is unsurpassed in this industry.”
Throughout the firm’s growth the focus remains the same: ‘strategy leads creative solutions’. “In other words, it’s about our clients and their business goals, and not about us and our creative,” Havenga states, referring to her company’s tagline and mantra. For more than 16 years, Tandem Design has successfully planned and developed strategic marketing and identity programs, collateral materials, websites and social media strategies for its exclusive clientele such as Abbott Laboratories, Ambitech Engineering, Lake County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and August Hill Winery, to name a few.
Tandem Design always begins with a positioning strategy in order to develop real, relevant, and memorable messages to grow a client’s business. From the brand development of logos and taglines to creating and online presence through website, social media and e-communication, Tandem Design campaigns use the most innovative solutions to meet their clients’ needs.
