Challenge: Give donors a better idea of how Young Audiences' artist residency programs work

Solution and Result: Young Audiences of the Woodruff Arts Center, the Southeast's leading provider of educational arts programming, had a difficult time conveying what exactly their artist residency program was and how important it was to their organization. We recommended that they put together an instructional video that will help people, especially possible donors, to see the value of what they do. Working closely with staff, teachers, and students, we produced a video that the organization now uses to show how the residency program works and the great impact that it has on the lives young people.

Challenge: Increase the number of entries in Burger King's first annual BK Hot Kicks contest; increase web site traffic during the voting process; increase overall sales

Solution and Result: Burger King's marketing director needed help in making her vision, the first annual BK Hot Kicks contest, a reality.

Leveraging our extensive influencers list, we produced a 70-minute promotional CD with the latest top-forty music hosted by a popular national DJ. We also created artwork for the promotion (www.BKHotKicks.com). Included in our task list was distributing the CDs to ten different campuses in three states. Using popular print magazines, e-mail blasts, and on campus promotions, we created tremendous excitement and buzz around the competition. As a result of our efforts, average restaurant traffic and sales were up 5%. Over 140 sneaker designs were submitted and over 6,000 unique visitors logged on to the web site to vote.
