Doing things for the right reasons

Doing things for
the right reasons

At Mandala Creative we design for social causes — from brand identity to interactive web experiences — and we create public art that resonates within communities.

We believe it is our responsibility to work towards the common good.

Why social marketing?

Cause Marketing, or Social Cause Marketing is doing things for the right reasons. It is leveraging the ideas of creative thinkers to bring brands and nonprofit causes together to achieve goals that make an impact on the world.

A mentor once put it this way, “It’s selling teenagers safe sex instead of Nikes.”

We like to paint and tell stories. We bring ideas to life to help you tell your story on any canvas.

Every screen is a canvas.

Every website is a  place to share your message.

A place to touch hearts and open minds.

How public art makes an impact.

Public art has the power to transform public spaces, making them more vibrant, inclusive, and engaging.  It fosters a sense of community pride and cultural identity, while encouraging a shared sense of belonging.

Public Art is a catalyst to spark dialogue and promote social awareness.
