Pen & Mug is a Fall 2026 Clutch Global Award Winner!

We’re proud to announce that Pen & Mug has been named a Fall 2026 Clutch Global Award winner for Graphic Design, placing us among the top 15 providers worldwide in our category on Clutch. This recognition reflects the quality of the work we deliver and the trust our clients place in us.

What are the Clutch Global Awards?

Clutch powers how businesses discover, evaluate, and hire the right B2B service partners. The Clutch Global Awards honor the very best firms based on verified client reviews, market presence, and demonstrated expertise. This fall, only the top 15 companies in each design category earned this distinction, making it one of the most selective recognitions in the industry.

“Great design partners don’t just complete projects; they shape how their clients operate, grow, and show up in the market,” said Mike Beares, Founder and Board Chair of Clutch. “These firms earned this recognition through the results they deliver and the voices of the clients who vouch for them.”

Built on Real Client Feedback

The Clutch Global Awards are rooted in verified client reviews, not self-nominations or popularity. This recognition reflects the confidence our clients place in us and the outcomes we achieve together. Every review on our Clutch profile represents a genuine partnership and a successful engagement.

At Pen & Mug, we bring creative direction, graphic design, and web development together to help brands show up with clarity and personality. Rooted in Nashville, we partner with organizations in events and experiences, software and technology, and community-focused work. Our services span brand strategy, logos, illustration, event themes, websites, and motion graphics, with each creative decision grounded in the client’s goals and audience. Through ongoing retainer partnerships, we serve as a fractional creative director and supporting creative department, carrying ideas from strategy and design through implementation and refinement.

Thank you to our team and our clients for making this achievement possible. Our success is built on your trust, collaboration, and shared commitment to excellence.

Clutch awards are based on the number and quality of our verified client reviews. They are tangible proof that our team provides a great client experience and delivers successful results. To us, that’s everything!
