ThankTank Creative launches in Ithaca

ITHACA — A company called ThankTank Creative has recently started up in Ithaca, providing business consulting, graphic design, and marketing services for socially just, environmentally conscious, and vegan companies.

“ThankTank Creative ties together my two passions: creative communication with veganism,” Eric C. Lindstrom, president and founder, said in a news release. “With my over two decades of experience in marketing small and mid-sized businesses around the world, ThankTank helps me better target and focus on what I believe in most: helping animals and the environment.”

Through the company’s GiveBack8 program, 8 percent of every project cost is donated back to a participating not-for-profit organization of the client’s choosing, he said. Nonprofits benefitting from the program include Catskill Animal Sanctuary, New York Coalition for Healthy School Food, NutritionFacts.org, Our Hen House, Sistah Vegan Project, the Tompkins County SPCA, and A Well Fed World, the release stated.

Before starting ThankTank Creative, Lindstrom was director of design and communications for Gimme! Coffee, a coffee roaster located in Ithaca; vice president of marketing for Woodhouse, the Timber Frame Company in Mansfield, Pa.; underwriting account representative for WSKG Public Broadcasting; and also held the position of vice president and art director of Communique Design and Marketing, an advertising agency in Central New York, for 15 years.

ThankTank Creative says it provides “boardroom-level, small-business consulting, award-winning design, ROI market planning, online and broadcast media as well as social media strategies for the socially just, environmentally conscious, and vegan communities.”
