What We Do
Melanie Thomson Communications Design provides professional advertising, graphic design and web site design services for business-to-business and consumer markets.

How We Do It
MTCD operates on a simple philosophy we call ‘No-Clone Design™.’ It’s based on the principle that clients’ objectives must drive the design. Unlike other design firms, we won't force some trendy-for-the-moment design style on your project. In fact, our wide range of customized graphic design solutions range from 'buttoned-up-and-corporate' to 'fun-and-funky.'

MTCD has the expertise to get your audiences' attention, convey your message and--most importantly--get results. We helped one company generate 40% more leads. For another, our services increased their sales by 30%. Click here to learn more...

Our long-term success lies with our tried-and-true listening skills, a talent for creating smart, effective, goal-driven strategic graphic design, and above all, our ability to provide consistent customer satisfaction.

No-Clone Design is the foundation on which we build clear-thinking, intelligent and successful creative graphic design solutions. Every time.

Flexible Creative Services That Fit Any Budget
MTCD offers a complete line of flexible creative services without the big agency fees. Our services include:

• creative concepting
• design and layout
• copywriting, editing and proofreading
• photography
• illustration
• FLASH animation
• print production and media planning
• website design
• email marketing campaigns

What if you don’t need all these services? Simple. Our involvement is determined by your project requirements. So, whether it’s a basic design or a complex campaign, you only pay for the creative expertise you’re looking for.

Consistent Customer Satisfaction
There’s no point in having killer creative if it’s off track or past deadline. That’s why we provide outstanding, consistent customer service, too. If our clients aren’t satisfied—neither are we. And, because we rate the extraordinary level of service we provide as our best skill, we can assure your satisfaction.

How We Got Started
With a degree in Marketing, Art and Design, principal owner Melanie Thomson-Tregoning began her career in 1979 at a New York City ad agency. She moved to central Connecticut in 1986 and formed MTCD in 1990. The wide range of experience she has gained over the years has broadened her customer service and creative problem-solving skills, which she brings to the MTCD team.

Melanie is active in numerous charity and community organizations. She is a board member of the Cherub Project, a nonprofit organization which promotes childrens' advocacy; vice president of the Wardsboro Pathfinders Snowmobile Club and a two-term past president of the Newington Rotary Club.

Who We Are Today
MTCD employs a team of highly skilled graphic designers and a seasoned production coordinator. Our main office is located in central Connecticut with an additional office in Southern Vermont.

Working with both Macintosh and Windows platforms, we keep up-to-date on ever-changing, sophisticated graphic and Web industry trends.

MTCD continues to thrive because of our drive to provide smart, effective, goal-driven design and consistent customer satisfaction. Our goal is two-fold. First, to deliver smart, on-target creative graphic design solutions that meet--and even exceed--our clients’ expectations. Second, to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships by providing consistent and exceptional customer satisfaction.

MTCD—Just What You Need
If you want smart, effective, goal-driven creative ideas and a fresh, unique approach to design that's on budget, on target and on time, then you want MTCD.
