A great day on the internets: Yesterday we helped Earth2o (”earth - 2 - ohhhh”) launch its brand spankin’ new website— part of the refreshed brand work rolling out for Earth2o, including a fun TV spot (aired last night), produced with our friends at Laika. More than a site to talk about bottled water, it’s a great…

Jan. 28, 2010: Nothing small about small business these days. One look at the room for the FORGE marketing summit in Lake Oswego would tell you that. Small- to medium-size businesses hungry to turn the buzz of social media into real marketing results.

Premier Portland-based motion graphics/animation company, Laika, made the…

Okay, even the biggest SUV at the mall isn’t gonna do it for these gifts. We just launched this Holiday card (card? really? we still calling this a card?) for our client, Port of Vancouver USA. Good fun and TSFW (totally safe for work.)

But how do they handle returns?

Clearly GB client, Kryptiq, is out to make a name for themselves in the technology category, ranking 4th on Oregon’s Most Admired Companies for 2009 by Portland Business Journal. An especially cool honor to be recognized by over 1800 area CEOs.
