We love this story as it's our local hometown shop.

Leading into 2010, we met with CTAM to review their goals for the year. Nearly all goals could be met or helped by connecting better with current and prospective members. We developed the new site to better connect and provide simple ways of sharing events and information socially. Tied to the site were email blasts that kept members in the loop for upcoming events. The result: CTAM West won the National Growth Award and now has a platform for continued growth. CTAM West's new website.

The goal was to create a multi-touch campaign designed to engage the high value/high risk subscribers through enhanced customer experience. Using direct marketing, we thanked customers for their business and provided a VIP hotline. We communicated key benefits, rewarded them with discounts promoting product engagement, and offered discounts at local merchants and community events. Rather than chase customers, we sought to intersect with their existing behavior at the local level to raise brand relevance. This resulted in a 13% reduction in churn.

We produce a quarterly magazine to connect with customers in a meaningful way, right in their community. One version in English and another bilingual version, this magazine features local heroes, cultural events, and highlights new services and entertainment. We take care of the details by working directly with programmers to deliver the latest information, schedules and artwork. It also provides a great platform for rewarding your customers - such as free movie coupons redeemable on our personalized offer-redemption microsite or locally coordinated offers such as half-off a pizza or BOGO college team tickets. Instead of being simply a product magazine, this format provides a blend of compelling local stories, optional customer rewards and engaging product information.

We worked with the folks at CTAM National to create and launch CTAM's executive innovation series, Wired.

Cox Arizona was sending paper coupons via direct mail to their customers. This process would take up to a couple of months to be processed and credited. We saw an opportunity to streamline this process by developing a personalized coupon redemption microsite, whereby customers could simply redeem their offers online. By implementing the microsite, we were able to automate the entire redemption process, create a positive customer experience, and measure response rates instantaneously. Plus, the old way was a pain. Customers appreciate the ease of the microsite, and redemption rates have gone through the roof! Furthermore, enabling ROI analysis allows for marketing strategy adjustments as quickly as needed. We've now implemented this strategy to various cable systems around the country.

We teamed up with Kapitol Reef to launch their innovative snorkeling gear.

When we first sat down with Bolton and Company, they were ready for a change. As an 80+ year old company, they had gone through a few variations of their logo and had an outdated website. The first step was a brand refresh, utilizing elements of their evolving logo to create a fresh look that reflected the new direction of Bolton. Next, we solidified brand guidelines and did a complete phase one overhaul of their www.boltonco.com website. We're presently exploring a phase two that continues to provide more value to Bolton's clients.
