Freedom House
Washington, DC
• KTDC has been awarded the design of the 2007 annual report for Freedom House.
Freedom House is a clear voice for democracy and freedom around the world. Since its founding in 1941 by Eleanor Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie and other Americans concerned with the mounting threats to peace and democracy, Freedom House has been a vigorous proponent of democratic values and a steadfast opponent of dictatorships of the far left and the far right.
Throughout its history, Freedom House has opposed tyranny around the world, including dictatorships in Latin America, apartheid in South Africa, Soviet domination of Central and Eastern Europe, and religiously-based totalitarian regimes such as those governing Sudan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Freedom House has promoted the growth of freedom by encouraging U.S.
policymakers, international institutions, and the governments of established
democracies to adopt policies that advance human rights and democracy around the world. At the same time, Freedom House provides support to individuals working in the world's young democracies to overcome debilitating legacies of tyranny, dictatorship and political repression; as well as to activists working in repressive societies to bring about greater freedom and openness. KTDC is honored to have Freedom House as a client.

Get America Working!
Arlington, VA
• KTDC has been awarded the redesign of the Web site of Ashoka’s Get America Working! This nonprofit national organization aims to create tens of millions of jobs through structural changes in the U.S. economy. Get America Working! operates with the belief that more good jobs will result in a great decrease in the country's social ills: We will see less crime and violence, fewer disengaged young people, less drug use and a healthier population overall. Beyond that, the country would experience sustained, substantial and faster economic growth; the environment would benefit greatly; and a larger tax base, combined with lessened dependency and social dysfunction, would allow tax rates to fall.
