Event Description

SGDP was founded in 1996 as a partnership between Ted Stanaszek and Arnold Goodwin. Arnie Goodwin was a charter member of the 27 Chicago Designers, and from these groundbreaking design-firm roots they’ve grown and become a 32-person, full-service communications design agency that creates brands, identities, advertising, packaging, interactive and print communications.

SGDP helps clients discover and communicate the heart of a brand so that target audiences can see, feel and relate to its essence. They believe that the most effective communications — those that move customers to action — are built by first understanding how people interact with brands, and then by crafting highly engaging communications that connect with their audience.

Their approach seamlessly integrates strategy, design and voice within their solutions. SGDP believes in close partnership and collaboration, both internally and with clients, which include Fortune 500 companies like United Air Lines and Allstate Insurance; innovative companies like Archipelago and OES MarketGroup; and nonprofit organizations, such as the Chicago History Museum and Morris Animal Foundation.
