Cork Tree Creative

A fresh logo deserved a website to match.

After giving Midwest Career Source’s existing logo a thoughtful refresh, we carried the updated look and feel across a new website designed to be more welcoming, easier to navigate, and easier to find online.

The previous site made it difficult for visitors to explore programs and understand the full scope of the organization’s work—and it wasn’t built with SEO in mind. We reorganized the content, created clearer pathways for prospective students and community partners, and added an SEO foundation to help more people discover Midwest Career Source through search.

The result is a more cohesive brand and a user-friendly website that better connects people with training, support, and meaningful career opportunities.

Complex work deserves clear marketing.

For manufacturers and industrial companies, marketing has to do more than make things look polished. It needs to explain technical capabilities, support long sales cycles, strengthen recruiting, and give business development teams better tools to work with.

Cork Tree develops connected marketing strategies that help industrial organizations communicate what they do—and why it matters. From branding and website development to SEO, public relations, photography, video, and digital advertising, we make complex work easier to understand and harder to overlook.

Around here, interns aren't just observers—they're contributors. From client work to team projects, they've got a seat at the table and a chance to make a real impact.

This , we're especially grateful for Austin and everything he's brought to the team this summer.

Happy National Intern Day to all the interns out there learning, growing, and doing great work.

Search is changing fast. Between AI Overviews, shifting search habits, and Google's latest updates, showing up online isn't quite as straightforward as it used to be.

The good news? SEO isn't dead; it just looks a little different than it did a year ago.

It's that time again—we're looking for our next intern at the Tree! 🌳

What does that actually look like?

☑ Drafting social media calendars and blogs
☑ Writing and distributing press releases
☑ Sitting in on strategy sessions and client meetings
☑ Tagging along on photo and video shoots
☑ Discovering new interests (and maybe a few things they don't teach in class)

If you're looking for an internship that's a little more hands-on and a lot less coffee runs, we'd love to hear from you.
