About Us
We strategize, conceptualize and even think. Then we roll up our sleeves, design, write and program to help our clients say something, sell something or both. Effectively and efficiently. Anything less is a waste of money. So, whether you need a comprehensive strategy for building your brand or help with a single design project, you've come to the right place.
Think of it as a first date
We're not the kind of agency that gives up everything on our site...even if all the kids are doing it. Instead, we've chosen to show off some recent work and would prefer to tailor a presentation that suits your specific needs. So, if you have a question or want to talk about what we can do for you - then give us a call. (You don't even have to wait three days to ask us for a second date.)
Yahoo! Messenger

We've worn a lot of hats for Yahoo! Messenger and we’re not just saying that because the emoticons to the left have crowns (although it is kinda funny). We've redesigned their site, created marketing and awareness campaigns, banner ads, user targeted emails, and custom Power User online presence indicators. Our work has reached millions of Yahoo! Messenger users and our open and collaborative relationship with the client has yielded some fun and innovative solutions to their various campaign goals.

Gaia Online is one of the largest teen hangouts on the web. More than seven million people visit Gaia every month to make friends, play games, watch movies and participate in one of the world's most active online communities.
The brand voice – can you say, "snarky" - and awesome visual diversity made working on landing pages and promo campaigns a blast.

Top Contributor Rewards
Answers is all about its community. If users weren't highly involved, the product wouldn't exist. Fortunately, the Answers team is very aware of it too. When they wanted to send those folks who help to make the world a smarter place a big "Thank you!" they called us.
We developed a series of gifts for top contributors. Custom mugs, water bottles and giant magnets were a few of the items that were sent in custom packaging and with personalized messages to thousands of Answers community members. It was a hit and we loved being able to take a concept and run with it - exceeding the expectations of the client and producing some really cool stuff in the process.

Diversity & Inclusion
The employees at Yahoo! strive to create an environment where people of all backgrounds and abilities can succeed. They asked us to develop a micro site that explained how diversity and inclusion are integral to the company's growth. We decided that there's no better way to explain diversity and inclusion than to let the people of Yahoo! speak for themselves. We conducted on-site photo shoots and interviews that enabled us to promote a concept by creating a very personal tribute to the values behind diversity and inclusion and how these principles affect the lives real people.

Event Booth and Collateral
Ziosoft is a leading innovator in 3D advanced visualization software. Their Ziostation thin-client system is revolutionizing the way clinicians access, analyze and share the information required for optimal clinical care.
But, even if you have a bad ass product, you still need to hit the trade shows and sell it. On a super tight timeline, we created an event booth, a giveaway, and updated their collateral and mailers.

Let's face it, no major company is successful without a kick-ass sales team — and that only happens if they’re well informed. Yahoo!'s sales support team needed a one-stop spot that would clearly and easily provide access to the tools necessary to keep the sales force at the top of their game.
Key features of the solution include search returns based on role, the ability to view PowerPoint and other documents immediately without downloading, a document details with comment section, the ability to add keyword tags, last edit date, expiration, stats on views and downloads, and buttons to 'add to favorites', 'flag as old', and 'email'.
We also developed a portal specific to B2B's needs that included a calendar of upcoming events with custom markers and on-hover event details. Adding a blog gave it some personality and helped create a sense of community for a team spread across the US.
This is another project that we feel particularly proud of and yet another example of how our diverse skill set and holistic approach allow us to meet the needs of our customers while providing a personal touch to the process.
Team Leads
We provide high quality, creative work, but we also strive to serve the client better than anyone else. We listen, we learn and then we create. Yeah, we've got great ideas and we’ll definitely share them with you (that is, after all what you're paying us for), but we're not trying to shove our ideas down your throat. Our aim is to take your goal or vision and make it happen. Sure, we like awards and we've got more than a few, but what we like most are happy clients.
Another part of our service promise to you is that you will work with the same person who pitches you the idea. You won't fall in love with an idea only to have it passed down the line and jumbled up. Remember the telephone game? That's why our two creative leads oversee each and every project to ensure that all communications are centralized and that you always know who to talk to.
Stephen Griffin
Partner & Creative Director
Stephen's definitely been around the block, but don't hold it against him. It's his diverse experiences with both in-house creative teams and big-time, fancy schmacy agencies that led him to start his own kind of advertising firm. He realized that, unlike big agencies or teams that are tied to the company they work for, a small independent firm can be an environment for innovative work, allow opportunities to build close relationships with clients and be a fun place to grow as an employee.
Abigail Griffin
Partner & Head Writer
With over 15 years managing experience and a lifetime of writing, including several published works and more than a few drop-dead campaigns, Abigail is certainly a big part of what we bring to the table. Trained in psychology, formal writing and linguistics, Abigail’s super dork skills ensure that your messaging is engaging, true to your brand voice and, most importantly, effective.
