Many of our clients have become experts in touching their clients in meaningful ways. We’re not talking advertising, here (though sometimes that works, too). We’re talking reaching out and providing opportunities for them to learn, network and just generally improve their lives.

Our long-time friends and clients at Northstar Charter School have a brand new website.

It almost doesn’t need to be said: these, days stuff happens fast. Including bad stuff. Typos. Wrong phone numbers. Wrong names. Wrong colors. Wrong anything and everything.
The point is, things go wrong.
But how do you respond? Hopefully you do it the old fashioned way: openly and honestly. The quicker the better. Your customers will understand. [...]

We’re pleased to say our friends (and clients) at Fork got a new website this week. Now you can browse their menu, stalk their beautiful interior and dream about their Saturday Bloody Mary bar before you even step foot in the restaurant itself.

The only answer we’ve been able to come up with: guts. More accurately, lack thereof. This week we stumbled upon these spots we created a while back for a local used car dealer. They may not be perfect, but they don’t suck. And the first one is nearing 3,000 views on YouTube.
