American Vanguard Corporation 2003 Annual Report

A company that produces and sells pesticides and insecticides is often seen in a negative light. We wanted to turn this around by focusing on the positive effects of crop protection, especially as compared with unprotected crops. We simplified this approach by focusing on just one acre of land and the importance of that one acre being as productive as possible.

Well received by the client and shareholders. Clearly helped everyone understand the need for crop protection products.

Tickets.com 1999 Annual Report

Tickets.com is committed to making ticket buying simple and hassle- free. We decided taking a historical approach would best explain just how far ticket buying has come in this world. A comical twist in the storyline made the report a fun read while explaining just how they were making history.

Weyerhaeuser Lynx Opaque Promotional brochure

We were asked by Weyerhaeuser to create a promo that touted the benefits of Lynx Opaque, a reliable and cost efficient paper. In the piece we related this sheet to all the bargain hunters out there finding inexpensive, great items at swap meets and garage sales. This sheet could easily be overlooked, but by looking hard and close, Lynx Opaque is a treasure waiting to be found.

Spicers Paper Basis Quarterly Publication

We were asked by Spicers Paper Company to create a quarterly publication that would be used as a vehicle to show off new products and highlight samples of designers using their paper products. We came up with the name of the publication and masthead design.

Advanced Marketing Services 2002 Annual Report

AMS is a company that is unseen by the general public, yet helps to make tens of millions of books available to that public each year by working with book retailers. Our approach was a takeoff on the Invisible man novel. We created the report as a book, dust jacket and all. Each chapter explained something interesting about the company through the eyes of a private investigator.

It turned out to be a pretty interesting read and I was told it stayed on people's coffee tables for many months. The client was extremely happy with the result and how it explained what they did. They went on to use "The Invisible Company" as their tagline in all marketing communications.
