About Us

Ex Nihilo Graphics has been providing brand imagery through graphic design, print media, and digital marketing for over ten years.

Ex Nihilo Media thrives on creating engaging design in an ever changing world.  Our dedicated team vests in each project to effectively reflect your distinctive style and engage your target audience.  We have a variety of options to meet your design, marketing and print media needs.

Ex Nihilo Media began as Ex Nihilo Graphics in 2007, specializing in custom web design.  Gaining a reputation for quality, the company grew and expanded into print and digital marketing to meet the needs of our artists.   Getting your music online using the latest design and web technology is our niche.

Our approach to design takes inspiration from our love of people and its ultimate goal in helping others succeed in business and ministry.  By better understanding who we are designing for, we create concepts of real value.

Living in an age driven by visual engagement, design matters.

We love creating concepts for the music industry across all formats and genres.  Creation is a collaborative effort where our team springboards off one another with innovative ways to best further our client’s interests.  Our high impact designs with attention to detail have a high production value, meaning your music will get noticed and be remembered.

ENM can generate awareness for your product launch, event or tour by implementing a customized social media marketing strategy via structured content management and development.  With over a decade of experience, we are devoted to our clients and want them to have a strong impact and lasting impression.

The constant change in technology makes it essential to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and have the knowledge to understand what drives them.  Our team excels by staying on top of the latest technology and releases.

Did you know ENM has had the honor of implementing several extremely successful “firsts” within the genre?  We created a notable Online Blog Tour to showcase a  CD release and executed an extraordinary twelve hour Online CD Launch Party.  We have also had the honor of being the first to bring an interactive event app to SGM fans, the first of its kind to be implemented on an event platform within the genre.  Unleashing our creative process, we launched a leading-edge “devotional website” complete with coordinated devotions to correspond with each of the songs on on the project.

The launch of the Gospel Music Hymn Sing Foundation website brought another first for the genre.  The website featured a video header that displayed on mobile platforms – a first in the industry.

ENM also has had the privilege of being a part of a number genre-shaping events.   An exciting moment in ENM history was being on-site to witness the very first “Second Half Quartet” performance in Marion, IL at the Truthseekers Homecoming when Rodney Griffin sang the Cathedrals’ hit, Prodigal Son.  The spontaneous moment electrified the audience and and achieved viral status in the social media world.  More recently, during live event coverage of Singing in the Sun, ENM was on-hand to witness and capture a moment that reached millions of viewers in just under 36 hours achieving viral status – the holy grail of social media.   We  are immensely blessed to be able to do what we love and work alongside some of the best in the industry!

Event PHOTOGRAPHY

One of our passions is photography.  We love capturing moments.  With event photography it is all about communicating the atmosphere of the event and capturing those special moments.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

Lynn has a natural talent for “seeing” the frame – it’s our pleasure to be able to provide a platform for her to share her creativity with the world!

 

WEB & GRAPHIC DESIGN

First impressions are lasting.  Be it your website or promotional materials, the design should grab the attention of your intended audience.  Presentation matters.

We love designing for music in any style, format or genre.  Our high impact designs pay attention to detail!  Your music will get noticed and be remembered.

your walk talks blog tour
The “Your Walk Talks Blog Tour” was the brainchild of ENM’s own Lynn Mills.  Coordinating with prominent SGM blog site authors, the blog tour gave visitors insight into the brand new CD release from The Mark Trammell Quartet titled, Your Walk Talks.  Each blog site contained informative articles about the new project with a link forwarding the reader to the next blog site.  At the end of the “blog tour” readers had a unique overview of the new release and gained that knowledge through completing the “very first” online “blog tour” in this genre.   The unique experience was a hit with fans and artists throughout the industry.

first motion header
Who remembers visiting Legacy Five’s site and mousing over the header to reveal the guys in motion?  Staying on the cutting edge of technology, ENM was the first to introduce 3-D motion headers to artist’s websites!  Very few websites within the industry had this feature, and the majority, if not all, were ENM clients.  Our clients were ahead of the curve, and six years later (2018) it’s still a highly sought after effect for its dimension and interactivity.

BFA’s unashamed fan retreat
When we approached Brian Free with the idea of hosting a Fan Retreat, he saw our vision and loved the concept.  Unlike a homecoming or other 3-day events, the retreat gave fans the opportunity to spend an entire weekend interacting with BFA.  A first in their 22 year history, the special event marked Brian’s 35th year in Gospel music.  ENM  planned a special surprise by bringing good friend Ivan Parker for a guest appearance on Friday evening.  The unexpected surprise elated Brian, Bill, Mike and BFA fans, making an unprecedented evening of memories.
OCTOBER 2016
full sail video series
ENM provided the creative direction and production of the Full Sail CD Video Series.  The series captured moments with the artist sharing personal insights about songs from the project.  The release of the series was a hit inside and outside of the industry. We believe its success aside from the technical aspects of production, is due to the sincerity and personal connection made with viewers from the artist’s perspective.  The opening reached 100,000 in the first 24 hours.
