Deka is a design and advertising collaborative based in Grand Rapids, MI headed by creative and technical founders, John Scianna and Matt DeLong. Masters in corporate branding and Web design, we operate on the theory that design should above all else, sell. Our beautiful work is the result of careful research and planning to build strong brands.

We were raised in the internet age, we know how to reach a large market quickly, efficiently, and affordably, but realize that good design starts with a strong concept and works on multiple platforms. This holistic understanding of design and advertising gives us an advantage in creating and promoting a business. Take a look at what we can do for you.

In just a couple of short steps, anyone can be connected to millions of resources and countless other people around the globe. This ease of plugging into the world has everyone utilizing tools like facebook, twitter, Google, foursquare, and yelp for information, news, recommendations, and social interaction around Grand Rapids. A company's reputation and in turn, strength, can be broken or solidified by what others are saying. And they're saying it on the internet.
