Delivering Award-Winning Creativity and Leadership Since 2009.
BitterSweet Creative is an award-winning, full-service creative agency with a passion for crafting bold, meaningful solutions that leave a lasting impact. Since our inception in 2009, we’ve partnered with clients across industries as diverse as education, hospitality, global development, charitable organizations, healthcare, technology, foundations, and agriculture. Beginning in the heart of Washington, DC, our work spans the globe, blending creativity and strategy to transform ideas into powerful realities.
Our comparative advantage lies in our team who specialize in creative strategy, identity and branding, graphic design, content production, video production, UX/UI design, web development, and marketing. Whether we’re creating a visually stunning annual report for the global development sector, designing an intuitive website for a healthcare organization, or producing compelling films that amplify voices in education, every project we undertake is built on deep collaboration and a drive to exceed expectations.
Work is sacred. Every opportunity is one to expand us and challenge us. We want to apply our whole selves to our craft and our care for every client. We embrace the complications of humanness and flow with them, solving problems efficiently with empathy and grace.
Hope is a discipline and one we prioritize. There are many channels and voices amplifying despairing attitudes and disparaging realities, and too few that operate from fullness, generosity, and a belief in redemptive possibility.
We are deliberate thought partners. We desire livelihoods of meaning and significance and derive joy from serving others well. We prefer to partner with clients on ‘why’ and not just ‘what’; this leads us to ask questions and listen thoroughly.
We are eager to create value and solve problems—earning trust through consistent attentiveness and collaborating to deliver thoughtful solutions. We are quick to take responsibility and diligent in following through.
We learn fast and fail gracefully. We take ownership of our mistakes and short-comings. We seek understanding, not assuming that we have it already. We are aware that our perspectives are slivers, not whole pictures. Clients feel their capacities expand when we are at the table.
Collaboration is the deepest expression of trust and respect so we intentionally make space for each other in our crafts, tasks, and challenges. The combination of our instincts with team input will always lead us to better decisions and more incisive creativity than any one of us could achieve on our own.
