It has been crazy busy!
Friday, April 25, 2008 by Linear Creative
Wow! It has been awhile since a blog was posted for Linear Lines. This has not been due to us not being busy but instead due to lack of time to inform you of the all that has is happening.
While it would be impossible to tell you about all of the events and projects happening at Linear Creative, I wanted to mention a few things. Albums Inc., the largest photo album distributer in the United States formed a partnership with Album Epoca in October to bring their product to the United States. They are a wedding album design company out of Italy, the biggest actually. This is a wonderful partnership for Albums Inc. but also benefits Linear. Along with already being the design company handling Album Inc. we will now be the primary designer for Album Epoca in the United States. With the classic feel of an Itallian Fellini movie, Album Epoca’s feel is something new and exciting for us to work on.
Secondly, two months ago, our Video Art Director, Mike Counselman, went to Las Vegas to run a presentation put on to thousands by Thomas Cook and Dough Kiley, two local photographers from TRG Studios. This had been a three month project that Mike had been working on night and day to produce. The response to both the actual presentation and to Mike’s design was nothing but amazing!
And since all great things come in groups of three, we are proud to say we are handling all of the advertising for the North Coast Men’s Chorus for this season. The North Coast Men’s Chorus have been singing in the Cleveland area for 20 years. All of us at Linear would like to congratulate and say thanks for 20 years of enjoyment. This year they have already had Broadway star Bernadette Peters come to town with the Cleveland POPS orchestra, put on Swingle Bells at Christmas with the Cleveland Jazz orchestra and will be putting on Tunes for Tales, a production adapted from the books Tales for the City by Armistead Maupina. Be sure to check out all of these pieces and so much more that I was not able to tell you about within the next few weeks as we update Linear Creative’s portfolio.
Among all of these projects Linear has taken a huge step in our own future. Last month we moved into our first official set of offices! Located at 16017 Detroit Ave. in the heart of Lakewood Ohio, we will be above the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. The construction is still going on to renovate the rest of the building which when completed will serve as a place for us to meet with clients on site, something that was not ideal for us to do in the past. The site has the modern, relaxed feel that Linear has and gives us room to bring in more designers to help if we need and to grow. If you are in the area, stop by and say hi, we would love to show you around!
And that growth has already begun. In March, we welcomed Bismark Sleibi to the Linear team as Senior Web Designer. A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a degree in computer animation and multimedia, Bismark, or Biz as he is more commonly known by, brings new depth to our company. His experience in GUI (Graphical User Interface), web development and creative interactive media is significant. With it, Linear is better positioned to both attract new clients and better serve the ones we have. It partners well with Mike’s video and animation work. Think of how many hours you and your partners spend on the web. Go into a coffee shop and you see business men and woman using laptops to surf the web while they view their blackberry’s and iphones. The web is quickly becoming the best method of reaching an audience.
How is your company’s sales? If they are not where you would like, give us a call. We would love to sit down and see if we can help you to propel to the next level. And check back here, to Linear Lines, to find out how other companies are getting their name out there. That is what Linear is all about, your brand.... more modern, more cutting edge.... smarter!
