WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS STORYTELLING THING SINCE BETACAMS WERE ALL THE RAGE AND CAMERAS USED ACTUAL FILM.

In 1988, we began as the audio/video production arm of Textile Clothing Technology Corporation, a not-for-profit research and educational consortium. In those days we designed and developed multilingual, interactive training for the sewn products industry in the U.S. We were a young, ragtag team of instructional designers and multimedia pros on a mission: to create fantastic interactive laser disk training programs for industrial sewing machine mechanics and operators.

Once we got a taste of how successful a well-told story could be, we spun out into our own entity and changed our name to MindWorks. We've now extended our storytelling into web applications, games and mobile technology and gained a reputation for being professional, collaborative and industry innovators. Although we have national and international clients, we are very proud to be based in beautiful, eclectic Durham, North Carolina.

OUR FIRST CEO IS OUR CURRENT CEO

A true southern gentleman, Greg Rowland was on the MindWorks team from the earliest days when we were just the multimedia production arm of the Textile Clothing Technology Corporation. He led MindWorks when we operated out of a one-room tin-roof shack.

Fast forward to today. A 30-year veteran of the multimedia industry, Greg has logged tens of thousands of miles traveling to far-flung locations conducting interviews and directing video shoots. His distinctive hands-on approach to marketing, training, and communications programs has resulted in enormously effective corporate multimedia tools.

In his role as CEO of MindWorks, Greg has set the vision and tone for this fast-growing company. Greg's production background, integrity and passion for helping others succeed have combined to propel MindWorks forward.

A tireless volunteer for civic causes and a booster for Durham, Greg serves on the Board of Directors of Downtown Durham, Inc. and TROSA. He is the Chair of the UMD Day Services Feasibility Study Committee. Greg is also a well-known foodie and enjoys all things bovine.

OUR HOOD

Our agency is housed in a rehabbed historic textile mill that once housed the Golden Belt Manufacturing Company. The mill used to process cotton into thread and produced pouches for Bull Durham tobacco. Now, the newly restored Golden Belt campus draws a vibrant arts energy to downtown Durham with artist studios, live/work loft apartments, offices, restaurants, retail, live music, events and more. We love being a part of this thriving community of artists and entrepreneurs.
