Defense Supply Chain Marketing for Rhode Island and Connecticut Suppliers

Figmints is a Providence, RI marketing agency that helps defense and submarine supply chain companies look as capable as they are, with bid-ready websites, capability statements, and brand materials that primes and procurement teams trust.

Be Easy to Qualify, Easy to Choose

Subcontract awards often turn on whether a buyer can quickly understand what you make, certify, and deliver.

We build the website, capability statement, and brand materials that make that clear. Figmints holds a SAM.gov unique entity ID, is a 100% minority-owned Minority Business Enterprise certified in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia, and has won public-sector work through competitive procurement. We are headquartered in Providence, close to the southeastern New England supplier base.

Headshot of Rachel Nguyen, Executive Director of Harmony

“My organization is working with Figmints for our rebranding initiative and it has been a great experience. We began with interviews and surveys to try and capture the heart of what we were trying to communicate. From there, Figmints surveyed our target demographic for name ideas, presented logo designs and is working on our website. At every stage we had ongoing communication, regular meetings, great input and felt listened to. I truly could not be happier with the experience. Thank you to the folks at Figmints. We are fans! We had a very clear sense that James and his team really understood our clients. I would totally recommend Figmints for anyone that was looking for this kind of work.”

“I was watching a video online at one of our partner sites and I saw an amazing presentation and I said, who did this? and when I looked into it I found Figmints and I went to their website and was really impressed by their portfolio. We did a complete rebranding of our website, of our logos and all our product videos and Figmints worked with us every step of the way to make it a fun and enjoyable process and I think the results speak for themselves.”

Headshot of Austin Evers, Founder of Woodwork @17th

“Working with Figmints has definitely been a joy. The thing I’m most impressed with is how they legitimately wanted to get to know me and my business. I went to them and they worked countless hours branding me, creating this beautiful logo that really does say who I am. It was beautiful to work with someone like that. Someone that really wanted me to succeed and didn’t just want to get me in and get me out. It’s a good situation. I was definitely more than pleased.”

“At Envisionable we’re really concerned about helping people execute on their vision, and a key piece to that is really understanding your brand story and Figmints is amazing at doing that, helping to extract out what your story is so you can communicate that to your customers in a visual way. They don’t just have the talent from a visual perspective, in other words creating your website and creating your brand, but they understand how to take data, manipulate it and use it so they can create the right strategies to generate leads and costumers. Figmints has the data and the knowledge to continually evolve their strategies, literally month by month. They’re the team to do it and I would unquestionably recommend them for your marketing agency. “

Questions
People Ask Us

The honest answers, before we ever start working together.

Do you have defense or submarine supply chain clients?

Not as a named client yet, and we say so plainly. What we bring is B2B and industrial marketing experience, public-sector procurement wins, and a team that builds the materials suppliers need. Tell us what you sell and we will tell you whether we are a fit.

Can marketing help a supplier win more subcontracts?

It helps most at the moments buyers screen suppliers. A clear website, a tight capability statement, and consistent materials make you easier to qualify, which matters when two suppliers look equal on paper.

Are you a registered government vendor?

We hold a SAM.gov unique entity ID and have won public-sector projects through competitive procurement. Registration is yours to maintain and we are not a compliance consultant, but we are happy to share what we have learned.

Does your MBE status help with supplier-diversity goals?

Figmints is a 100% minority-owned MBE certified in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Whether that counts toward a prime’s goal depends on the program, so confirm which certifications they accept before relying on it.

Can you work if some of our information cannot be public?

We work from what you have cleared for public use. If your content involves controlled information, tell us up front so we can scope around it.

Where are you located relative to the supplier base?

Providence, Rhode Island, in the same region as southeastern New England’s defense suppliers. We also work remotely with clients anywhere.

Ready to Be Easier to Choose?

Tell us what you supply and who you sell to. We will tell you what to fix first.
