about us

We’re passionate about what we do here at Thinkwell. We put everything we have into making the goals, visions, stories, dreams and missions of our clients a reality every day. Around the world, around the clock, Thinkwell is creating, innovating, storytelling and developing immersive experiences.

Thinkwell works like a movie studio. No, we don’t have security guards at the gate, or movie stars walking around in Egyptian goddess costumes, or an elaborate commissary to see and be seen. But we do work fast and nimbly like film production companies do. We draw upon a core team of experts and professionals in key areas like project management, creative and content
 development, architecture, technical design, media production and more to ensure continuity in the realization of your vision, and we supplement this core team with the right talent for the project.

But Thinkwell is more than that. We’re collaborative. We don’t believe in applying off-the-shelf solutions or in slapping band-aids on problems. There is no product lying in wait that we’re going to push on you to “solve your problem.” We tailor every project to your needs, your goals, your vision ̶ developing the business, marketing, operating and financial objectives that establish a successful project from the start.

All this hard work, creativity and collaboration is hard-wired into the Thinkwell culture and philosophy. Take for example our weekly Share Day, where on any given week the team may ferret out cool new technologies, report on an international destination where they just finished a project, or dump a carry-all of literature from an obscure conference or trade show, just so everyone within our walls has a chance to explore what’s next, what’s new, and what’s hot. We learn from each other and we inspire one another. We feed off each others’ intellectual curiosity just as we feed off the innovative finds, wildly new applications and cutting-edge technologies.

There are also our Brown Bag Lunches, special days when everyone’s invited to get really deep into a new trend, new technology, new toy or a subject we may be researching for a new project. It’s all grist for the mill and you never know when one idea, trend or development we’re undertaking in one area of our business might just have some amazing connection on another.

What’s the essence of Thinkwell?

We’re highly creative techno-geeks and early adopters.
We’re innovative, with a distinctly unique vision for everything we do.
We’re honest, team players who listen.
We’re storytellers driven to create great guest experiences.
We’re problem solvers who appreciate good design and deliver it.
We’re fun, playful, even sarcastic sometimes.
We’re professionals who love to raise the bar and exceed expectations.
And we absolutely love what we do.

We encourage exploration, inquisitive minds, problem solving, collaboration, curiosity, passion and an open environment in which to make it all happen. Brainstorming, rapid-fire idea generation, technical prowess and innovative thinking are what make us jump out of bed in the morning. And you see it in everything
Thinkwell does.
