ARAMARK Uniform
Services, one of America's largest uniform service company, found
that they had a much higher close rate for their prospects if they
could get these companies to tour their processing plants. Unfortunately,
the cost of flying potential customers to their plants was so high
that only serious Fortune 500 companies could be accomodated. We pitched
ARAMARK on the idea of flying our film crew out to their Toledo, Ohio
plant, the most modern and automated plant in the county, to spend
three days filming the entire process and then creating an interactive,
multi-media, walk-through tour on CD-ROM. This marketing tool, using
digital video and dynamic navigation, was such a success with their
sales team that ARAMARK ended up hiring us to produce three additional
CD-ROM sales tools - one for their Cleanroom division, one for their
Direct Sales division and a combo internal training/sales presentation
tool. |

Velocium,
formerly a TRW Company and now owned by Northrop Grumman, needed a
distinctive identity to launch and establish themselves as a leader
in the design and fabrication of high-speed, advanced semiconductor
components in the telecommunication industry. Starting with a new,
dynamic logo, we established a strong brand identity that was supported
in all the interactive work we did for them - including their website,
trade show displays and emarketing campaign. |

While working
at Young Company, we developed a proprietary emarketing system to
help our clients take advantage of the direct marketing opportunities
available via the Internet. We used this system to promote our own
capabilities in this arena and the above campaign was the result.
This campaign focused on the four main advantages of emarketing -
higher response rate, lower cost, quicker turnaround and complete
trackability. Special portal pages were created for each advantage
and we were able to track which advantage was most important to recipients.

This site
was the first of its kind to offer standardized, in-depth dive briefings
on dive sites around the world. Complete with underwater maps, photos
and streamed video, Divebriefing launched on June 3, 2000 at the Long

This is the
third, in a series of four, 3" multi-media CD-ROMs we produced
for ARAMARK Uniform Services. This particular CD, a combo internal
training tool/external sales tool, focused on a new, online management
tool that ARAMARK was rolling out for their customers. To further
strengthen its effectiveness as a sales tool, we also created custom
designed mousepads with interchangable inserts that the Route Reps
could deliver to their customers. These mousepads, bearing the same
look and feel as the CD-ROM interface, had step-by-step instructions
walking the customer through the log-on procedure. We anticipated
that most customers would replace the insert with family photos, which
turned out to be true, but reasoned that if someone is going to enjoy
a photo of their family, what better way to build brand loyalty than
by presenting that photo in a ARAMARK-branded frame? |

The second
in our series of four interactive CD-ROMs for ARAMARK, this one was
a plant tour of ARAMARK's Cleanroom processing facility in Burr Ridge,
IL (just outside of Chicago). While generally audiences seem to respond
best to darker, more robust and contrasty interfaces (see the other
two ARAMARK CD examples) we knew that when people think of cleanrooms,
they think of one thing.......clean rooms. We therefore designed the
interface to reflect a very clean, sterile environment, the kind you'd
expect to see at a cleanroom processing facility. |

After the
development of our proprietary emarketing engine at Young Company,
Hirsch Electronics became one of our first clients to utilize this
new capability. In preparation for an upcoming security trade show,
we were asked to develop an online campaign that would push traffic
to the booth. We designed a three part campaign that consisted of
two pre-show mailings and one post-show mailing to a purchased list
of pre-registered attendees. The image to the left is the HTML email
that would show up in the recipient's inbox and would prompt the recipient
to click through to the skin - the image on the right. Our goal was
to get the people viewing the skin to print out a special map and
ID number. Our average click-through rate for the first two blasts
ended up being 68.7% - just a wee bit higher than your 2% response
rate for a direct mail campaign <grin>. |

Miracle Entertainment
was a Hollywood production company located right on Sunset Blvd. They
needed to reposition themselves on the web and create a whole new
look and feel for their company to conteract increasing skepticism
on the part of their investors. With the launch of the redesigned
website, a new sense of faith and hope was created as investors began
to see tangible evidence of high-quality creative work from Miracle. |

When Young
Company opened their Laguna Beach office, we designed a special emarketing
blast to announce the event and invite people to come celebrate. Using
our still new, proprietary emarketing engine, we created our first
rich-media email campaign using Flash animation and audio. The results
were outstanding, the party was fabulous and this paved the path to
the next level of rich-media email - digital video delivery. Our next
campaign featured the infamous Sandbrand
(23MB MPG) video which we shot and produced in about a day. This
video has now been shown internationally from LA to Germany, the U.K.
and Australia. Everywhere we go, the story is always the same. The
dog simply steals the show. |

Historically,
ARAMARK has always been the first in their industry. With Build Your
Own Uniform(TM), ARAMARK was first again. This online application
allowed a viewer to see photographs of models in different combinations
of shirts and pants. If they liked a particular shirt, they could
click thorugh the different pants until they had designed a uniform
that fit their company's image. An electronic version of the old paper
dolls, this project required the planning, programming and organization
of a 650+ garment photo shoot....WITH models. The result speaks for
itself. This program changed the way ARAMARK's sales force worked
and drove the re-development of this project so that it would run
on a CD-ROM. Strategically, this was a big shift for ARAMARK as now
the marketing department was taking the lead in developing new, cutting-edge
sales tools shrinking the gap between Sales and Marketing. |

When Toyota
came out with this car, they hadn't anticipated the amount of power
the car would really provide. As a precaution, they decided to have
an in-car warning and disclaimer to alert all owners of the potential
overpower problem. |
