Nehlsen Communications

Established in 1972, Nehlsen Communications is a small creative agency based in Moline, Illinois, with an additional office address listed in Davenport, Iowa. The team, comprising between one and ten people, has worked with clients across the country over its five-decade history, including trade associations and unions such as SMACNA chapters in the Chicago and Bay Areas, as well as credit unions like IHMVCU and hospitality businesses such as Snowstar. Its client base leans toward associations, membership organizations, and financial or destination brands seeking ongoing marketing partnerships rather than one-off projects. The agency's declared service list spans search engine optimization, branding, graphic design, public relations, video production, web development, and content marketing, positioning it as a full-service shop able to handle both strategic campaigns and creative production. Described project work includes rebranding efforts tied to ownership changes, recruitment-focused campaigns for industries facing staffing shortages, communication materials for professional associations, and problem-solving campaigns for unions dealing with member-facing issues. Client accounts describe the agency functioning as an extension of in-house marketing teams, contributing data-driven campaign ideas alongside design and content work. The agency is noted as a member of the Graphics Communication Union and operates with direct client contact through phone and email during standard weekday business hours.
