PS20 - Practical Solutions

Some genius friends of ours…

Ok, so we’ve had a ton of people comment on our marketing… Especially from the Catalyst conference. We’ve had a bunch of people ask us who comes up with this stuff and comment on the creativity. So, I’ll be honest… I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF! hahaha… Just kidding! I’m totally willing to share the secrets and reveal our marketing geniuses!

First, we use Circle at Seven design studio for ALL of our graphic design. Seriously, they’re awesome… What more can I say? They’re also the ones behind most of the creative phrases and verbiage we use as well as the layout, look and feel of our website. They’re just super creative and they’re so fun to work with. They’re totally big time, so I’m privileged that they’re willing to work with me.

Second, we use The P.O.P. Shop for all our crazy, wacky give-a-ways. Ok, again, these guys are so stinking creative. I don’t know why I said “Guys”… Sonya Beam is the brains behind that place and she’s a girl! I’m a weirdo, sorry! Anyway, The P.O.P. Shop rocks! And, I don’t say that just because they gave us props on their blog… They’re really amazing! Seriously, they can put your name or logo on ANYTHING. No kidding… ANYTHING! Use your imagination.

Third, I have a bunch of other random people that I use to help implement all of this stuff. For example, Jonathan Wolfe built our sign, Derrek Tenant does all of our shirts and apparel, we use America’s Printer for all of our printing needs… Etc. Etc. Etc.

Last, but not least, I have a couple of really, REALLY great people that help pull it all together. Audrey (My seriously hot wife) is an amazingly creative photographer and get-it-done person (seriously, she is the one that really makes all this happen), Kristin Avery helps with vision casting and is heavily involved in our creative meetings and just about everything else, Aaron VanderGalien has some of the most creative, craziest ideas ever and it totally gets our creative juices flowing, Derek Collard takes care of the high level marketing stuff… like actually getting us signed up for Catalyst and other events, Amber Douglas fills in the gaps!

So, there you have it… All of our creative geniuses revealed. It takes a lot of people, creative meetings and work to get this stuff done, and I am greatly appreciative for each and every person on our team!
