Take Them Out to the Ball Game…with Flair

Game Day Tickets and Treats

Do you take your clients to ball games or sporting events? Here’s a super cute way to deliver the tickets, if we do say so ourselves, and make a day at the ballpark an even more special treat. We’ve packaged game day essentials — tickets and Cracker Jacks — added a Creative Resources logo’d baseball, and stashed it all in an imprinted, reusable canvas bag. In terms of impact, we think we’ve hit a homerun. See the proof in the smiling faces below!

Happy Twins Fans, July 4th Weekend

Cheers to 10 Years! And to an Award-Winning Brand Campaign

Jen — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:28:09 +0000

When Creative Resources’ client Atomic Playpen approached its 10 year anniversary, the agency wanted to celebrate by creating an engaging integrated (online + offline) brand experience. Creative Resources provided fun, uniquely-branded offline elements (custom designed can coolers) that, in combination with the innovative CheersTo10Years.com promotional micro-site, did just that. Drink coasters were imprinted with unique Augmented Reality (AR) Markers that allowed friends and clients to join in the celebration by having one of four different virtual drinks.

Recently, Atomic Playpen had even more reason to celebrate, as the brand campaign received several awards from AIGA and Ad Fed. Congrats, AP!

Creative Resources Helps Bring Healthcare Message to Capitol Hill

Jen — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:56:44 +0000

Bridget Resig, Creative Resources Sr. Account Executive, supplied U.S.A.-made scrubs for Partnership for Quality Care, a unique coalition of health care workers dedicated to guaranteed, affordable, high quality health care for every man, woman and child in America. The scrubs were emblazoned with the message “Every Patient Matters” and signed by healthcare workers across America. Thousands of nurses, doctors, and SEIU healthcare workers rallied on Capitol Hill to deliver the hand-signed scrubs to members of Congress on Wednesday, September 23, 2009.

PQC’s Kay Navarro-McKay says, “Other companies told me scrubs like these weren’t made in the USA anymore. But Creative Resources said: ‘we’ll find them.’ And they did. It still feels like a small miracle!”
