									| Welcome! Since 
									you found us, you probably need creative 
									services to help you market your company. 
									You’ll find a wealth of information about us 
									on this site to help you decide if we might 
									be a good fit for your business.  Enterprising Graphics was 
									founded in 2000, and to date we have helped 
									over 200 companies launch and grow by 
									providing creative and effective marketing 
									tools. We specialize in supporting the small 
									to medium sized B2B businesses with their 
									marketing needs, from small projects to full 
									marketing campaigns.  Our goal is to always 
									align your marketing message with your own 
									authentic values and voice, so the clients 
									you attract will be a perfect fit for your 
									product or service.  What we value is working 
									with like-minded business professionals who 
									are passionate about what they do and are 
									committed to the process of growing their 
									businesses with integrity, gratitude and 
									enthusiasm.  Enterprising Graphics runs 
									as a “virtual company.” Caren Parnes is the 
									principle designer and copywriter, and she 
									works with a team of trusted, talented 
									colleagues with specialties in web design 
									and SEO, public relations, social media, 
									photography, direct mail services, printing 
									and fulfillment, strategic marketing, 
									promotional products, and other writers and 
									designers as the needs arise. Caren has 
									discovered working as a “virtual team” 
									provides the client with all the expertise 
									of a design or advertising agency, while 
									providing greater flexibility and value. Most of our team is 
									located in the Santa Rosa area of Sonoma 
									County, but we are truly a “virtual team” 
									and have worked with clients as far away as 
									New York and Hawaii. 
									
 |  Before launching 
									Enterprising Graphics in Northern California 
									in 2000, I spent fifteen years in the 
									Advertising, Publishing and Printing fields 
									in Colorado, New York, Los Angeles and San 
									Francisco.  I covered a lot of 
									territory during those years (both 
									creatively and geographically): I did book 
									editing and layout for a large publishing 
									house in New York; corporate design and 
									layout with IBM in Colorado; design and 
									prepress for corporate clients (including 
									Coca-Cola, Chevron and many major film 
									studios) for a premier printer in Los 
									Angeles; and design and project management 
									for the marketing division of an 
									international book publisher in San 
									Francisco.  This broad “corporate” 
									experience provided me with a range of 
									creative and technical abilities: creative 
									design skills; strategic marketing 
									experience; in-depth knowledge of the print 
									industry and printing issues; project 
									management skills; and writing, editing and 
									proofreading expertise. I moved to the North 
									Bay in 2000 and decided to offer these 
									services to other business professionals, 
									finding greater satisfaction in the more 
									personal relationships I have been able to 
									develop with clients and colleagues.  I invite you to give me a 
									call for a free 30 minute consultation to 
									see if I and my “virtual team” can help you 
									bring your business to the next level!
