No, we don’t do that.

February 18th, 2010

We started discussions with Office Services over a year ago in regards to their advertising campaign. The idea was to put the Savannah company out into the public eye with a big push leading up to their 10th year of being in business. On top of that, they had a brand new showroom they were working on that they wished to promote to the architect / design community.

Office Services showroom meeting space and teaming room for designers and creative professionals is one of our favorite space!

Fast forward about 12 months – another meeting with Office Services. Got to take a peek at their beautiful HON furnishings design showroom. Great design details and workspace throughout. Turns out, they needed assistance for their 10th anniversary celebration. Do we offer event planning services? No, we sure don’t. But, after some support and “you’d-do-a-fantastic-job. we trust you” type conversations, we said yes. After all, there were invites, signage, collateral, and promo items to be designed (oh, and logos to put on custom cookies!). So, we employed the talented Tammy Ray of The Detail Department to help us pull it off.

We constructed a talented, experienced team and conquered something we hadn’t done before under the name Clark Creative. Services included orchestrating, developing and / or designing the following:

Invitation Design

Rack Card Design

Promotional Items (bags, cookies, notepads, pens)

Signage

Print Production and Management

Mailing

Budget Management

Event Planning (Catering, Guest List, Tent Rentals, Photography, etc)

Continuing Education Class for design professionals (working with HON)

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Public Relations

<i>We were excited by the opportunity to use a diecut for the invite. We think it really caught attention of our target audience - design sensitive individuals.</i>

In the end, the event was a success (and we have photos to prove it). The weather remained cool and dry; food was great; an elected official assisted with the ribbon cutting, which was a feat within itself since it was Savannah-Chatham Day at the Capital and most of the other elected officials were in Atlanta.; and the crowds showed as we all celebrated 10 years of business and a beautiful showroom.

Congrats to Office Services - and thanks for the “you can do it!” attitude!
