verve: in bloom

Verve has been busy, busy this summer & we thought we’d share some of what we’ve been up to. Our projects are always very collaborative and our wide network of connections to get our client results they need. We’ve not done an update post for a while, so we have a lot to share!

FOOD for Lane County Web Site

FOOD for Lane County launched a new Web site. Designed by Verve’s Amy Miller and programmed by Josh Clark of Origen Creatives. We always enjoy our work with FOOD for Lane County and this Web site will serve them well as this vital  organization grows and continues to serve our community. The site, built with a Content Management System (CMS), gives FFLC the control over content and ability to keep the text and images across the site fresh.

Lane County’s Human Services Commission

This summer we wrapped up work with Lane County’s Human Services Commission that included messaging, visual identity and creating some strong deliverables that the agency can use with all its core audiences. A brochure, flyer and business stationary (letterhead and business cards) were all created based on focus group research and extensive key message development work with the members of the Human Services Network (nonprofit agency directors) and other local and county government folks. In the end we have material that stands out creates a strong visual identity.

Designer Danielle Tindall worked closely with Creative Director Amy Miller to bring their vision to the pieces and worked tirelessly with the client to ensure the highest quality results and Bourland Printing in Eugene, Oregon always comes through with competitive prices and high quality work.

tugo

Working with inventors is always exciting. And it’s particularly exciting and rewarding when the invention solves a common travel problem and people get the value right away. We’re working with tugo on media and blogger relations, Web development and social media. You can check them out on twitter, too. The buzz has been really positive and we’re confident the company’s success will skyrocket in the next year.

Shoe GOO Skate Campaign

With the technical and big, creative brain support of Grady Britton, an integrated agency in Portland, we launched a Shoe GOO Skate video contest and companion microsite, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace profiles. Over the last few years, our client, Eclectic Products, Inc., realized how popular its product Shoe GOO is with skaters. We took what’s always been a marginal use for the product and put it front and center with this cool promotion.

Thanks to all the awesome clients we’re working with. We’ll share more updates soon! Lots of fun stuff going on.
