10 years have flown by.

​
ID began as a graphic design business in 2008. Over the course of a decade, in response to the needs of our clients, we've have added a variety of other resources that have turned us into a full-service marketing agency (or marketing-department-for-hire, depending on who you ask). This includes website development, copywriting, online marketing, and much more, allowing us to implement strategies and execute tactics that hit objectives.

5 Beginner’s Tips to Using MailChimp for Social Publishing

Marketers new to online and digital strategies are likely getting involved with social media by engaging communities and publishing content. If you’re generating a blog, white papers, videos or other material of value to your audience, integrating email marketing into your distribution plan can have great benefits to your organization. 
​
MailChimp is a preferred email marketing platform that offers a variety of services. One reason I like using MailChimp is for their “Forever Free” pricing tier for small businesses, in addition to the simple, intuitive nature of their user interface. 

Below are my top five beginner’s tips to using MailChimp for social publishing:

Branding for Consultants

Small consultancies often find their clients through referrals and relationship building, which means that the best way to grow this type of business is to meet people and do good work. 
​
Branding efforts should support the quality of the services being offered, and that process starts with a sleek, modern and professional looking logo.

Once a logo is in place, a simple leave behind and online presence are needed to reinforce the caliber of the brand. A well designed business card paired with an easy-to-navigate website results in a memorable first impression.

Giving to charity: water for Thanksgiving 

11/23/2016

Each year we come together at Thanksgiving to devour turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Let’s also remember that this holiday is about being grateful for what we have and considerate of those in need. 

Recently, I was inspired by the incredible story of Scott Harrison, founder of charity: water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Every day, 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. Getting them clean water to drink is, surprisingly, not as costly as you might think… and charity: water can help!

Website Project for The Club Beverly Hills

11/1/2016

0 Comments

 
ID recently designed and developed a new website for The Club Beverly Hills, a pet spa in Los Angeles that offers the ultimate services in canine care. The client wanted a modern look and feel that focused on images of the location and the pets they serve. Also, the old site was built in Flash so it wasn’t supported on a number of browsers and devices.

In just a few weeks time, we created a new online destination for The Club that they can feel confident about. The simple, mobile-responsive website has obvious calls-to-action, an Instagram photo feed, contact forms and big, beautiful images. 

The Club was recently approached by Google, who offered to do a virtual tour of their location. Once ready, we were able to add it to their website using an iframe embed. This feature adds an extra layer of interactivity for visitors, contributing to the overall user experience.

We’re thrilled to have worked on this project, and excited that The Club now has a site that they’re proud of.

Spencer Makenzie's - A Ventura Catch

To celebrate my birthday on Friday night, the ladies and I went to Spencer Makenzie’s for a fancy fish taco celebration. If you live in Ventura, you’re likely familiar with their award-winning food. If you’re just visiting, this is a quintessential experience of the city.

​Obviously, the fish tacos are a must. They’re loaded with cabbage, cilantro, peppers and a secret Spencer sauce that compliment each other perfectly. We also had the jalapeño & cream cheese wontons and mixed vegetable tempura appetizers, which were tasty. And a pint of 805 was icing on the cake.

I’ve lived in Ventura now for over a year, and this is just the second time I’ve been to Spencer Makenzie’s. Our last visit was many months ago, and I left Friday night thinking I need to make this restaurant part of my normal routine, as it so perfectly represents why I love my new town. On the menu is a grilled fish & shrimp burrito, which was recently selected by FiveThirtyEight as America’s Best Burrito. Yet to try this dish, I’ve given myself a great reason to return and I’ll certainly be back!
