Now you can keep in touch with us on the social networking sensation thats sweeping the nation.
Welcoming New Partners
OK, we’re actually welcoming some new clients, but we prefer to think of them as partners. You see, for the time that we are strategizing and planning how to best to sell your business, service or product, we are doing it like we are on-staff, not as an outside consultant. We love to learn the ins-and-outs of your business and take a personal interest in solving your marketing challenges. Here are some new partners we’re working with now
• Jacobs Heating and Cooling*
• vmhCare*
• V Journal
• McKee Garden Design
*with Herman Consulting
Happy Earth Day from our clients!
As we all pause for a moment and ponder the fate of our planet, we thought we’d call your attention to a few of our clients who are doing positive, earth-friendly things with their businesses…
Wilfs Restaurant at historic Union Station uses locally-grown and sourced organic ingredients for their classic menu offerings with a modern twist. They also feature locally-grown and organic jazz music most nights of the week.
Peter Champ is a Portland Real Estate Broker who specializes in green building and renovations, and has taken certification courses in Green Building and Re-building, and Green Structures.
Earth Class Mail will receive your postal mail and enable you to view it online, so you can recycle the bulk of your mail much easier.
JD Madison Home Furnishings showcases many furniture lines that are manufactured from recycled and reclaimed wood, and other renewable sources.
Their sister company, Madison Millinger Extraordinary Rugs features an incredible collection of wool rugs (the original green product!) in their Pearl District showroom. All of their beautiful rugs use only natural dyes and are certified child labor-free by RugMark.
You don’t have to be a green business to work with DBD+A — contact us today and see how we can help your company grow, and maybe get a little greener in the process. Please note that while we have provided links to these companies, we have only designed the Peter Champ, JD Madison and Madison Millinger websites. So far.
Welcoming Wilfs
We’d like to stop and take a moment to welcome Wilfs Restaurant and Bar to our family of clients. Wilfs is somewhat of an anomaly in today’s consolidated corporatized world, in that they are a true family-run business. Located in historic Union Station (the clock tower in old town), Wilf’s serves locally-sourced, organic cuisine in a swanky atmosphere that includes live jazz most of the week. We are currently working on an updated version of the restaurant’s website, and some advertising for local magazines. Of course we’ll let you know as soon as the new website is launched!
Another Logo for the Books!
This logo we designed for Michelle, Inc. (based on her previous branding for Planet Joyride) was also chosen for inclusion in the LogoLounge Master Library. Each volume of the library will focus on a different category of logo designs.
Says the publisher, “Like our existing (and continuing) LogoLounge book series, the new Master Library books will bring you plenty of exemplary logo design work from creatives around the world.” We say, “groovy!” Check out some more logos we’ve created here…
Green Marketing Campaigns
We’re very pleased that so much of our work lately has been for companies that are pushing a green agenda via their business practices, and/or creating and selling eco-friendly products and services. Earth Class Mail allows you to get your postal mail online, and helps you recycle more of the mail you don’t want. Here are a couple of e-marketing pieces that we created for them: an email blast and an animated banner ad…
Another Logo Award
We just heard that the logo we created for Eggers and Associates is going to be published in the first book of the Logo Lounge Master Library. The volume won’t be out for a year, but we’re quite pleased right here and now! Eggers & Associates is a medical device research and development company that needed a brand that was clean, strong and “precise” — a nice reflection of the high-tech products developed by Eggers. Our solution was to cut through a solid space with two “scalpels” to create the Eggers “E” mark.
New Wave Dave
We created this poster, blog and large banner as part of a campaign to promote our kids’ school fund raising auction. The theme is “80s party” in case you couldn’t tell, so we broke out the “Rock of the Eighties” on our iTunes and checked our collection of buttons, badges and photos for inspiration.
Invite Color Into Your Mailbox
This is an oversized direct mail postcard for Madison Millinger’s month long Gabbeh Rug promotion. Gabbeh rugs are one-of-a-kind colorful artistic statements made by each individual weaver. The theme of the promotion was “Invite Color Into Your Home.”
DBDA Loves You!
Happy Valentines from DBD+A! We love our clients and readers s-o-o-o-o-o much! We really do.
