The success of an event depends on its marketing and promotion. Whether its a dance, a fundraiser, a work Christmas Gala, an art show, or a mailout campaign you cannot succeed without promoting it. Your print material not only provides information and details, it defines the style of your entire event and sets the stage for a great success.

You can use printed material without social media to successfully promote an event, but you cannot use social media without the the professionally designed materials and expect a successful event. (In the case of social media, the materials wouldn't be printed, they would instead be uploaded to the internet.) Social media, in conjunction with your printed visual media is the way to go. For example, creating a facebook page and uploading your promotional poster is fast becoming a popular source for promotion. Of course not everyone uses the internet for social networking so printed material is integral, and allows you to reach the masses. Creating a facebook page without visual promotional material is a waste of time. No one will pay attention to your page without the visuals. Have you ever seen an event posted on Facebook that has the little baby blue head in the placeholder for visuals? Then you know what I mean.

We've had the honor and privledge of managing the entire scope of artwork for several large scale events in Halifax over the last few years. Several of our larger scale event productions include materials designed for events held by The Cobequid Community Health Centre, in Sackville, Nova Scotia, namely The Annual Appeal and The Annual Valentine Gala. A wonderful group of people to work with. As well we've provided all graphics for The Forever Yours Bridal Show held at The Casino Halifax, put on by Weddings Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada Weddings, and the trade show materials for Xtremetech, an Edmonton based company promoting new technology.

We're currently in the process of managing production and design of an exciting advertising campaign for Lotus Jewellry for their Kameleon Design jewelry in upcoming trade shows CTGA Gift Show Toronto, Mode Accessories Show in Toronto and the Alberta Gift Show. A lovely group of people to work with, and their unique jewelry designs are fantastic. As well, we're in the process of designing the Corporate Identity development and trade show preparation for an upcoming retailer.
