From their materials:

More than 5000 people from Wasilla to Walla Walla, have attended the 90 Minute Marketing Workshops and walked away with practical, common sense strategies to help grow their business or organization. In just 90 minutes (that’s a promise) you will learn the basics for writing your own easy-to-use marketing plan and dozens of proven tactics you can take back and put to work immediately. This fast paced, real-world, hands-on  workshop was created especially for small, local businesses and nonprofit organizations that are the backbone of our local economies and communties. For more information and testimonials, please visit www.90minutemarketing.com.

Staying on top of your company’s marketing is more critical now than in times of a booming economy (though you should remember to continue marketing even when things are going well).  With many years in the marketing industry under their belts, the Hokes are sure to present a program to help you find the best ways to promote your company or organization.  You can find more registration information on the Chamber’s website.  I hope to see you at the seminar!

We are also excited about a brand new project that is currently in the works. Can’t give out too much information yet, but we’re building something that will be a lot of fun, look good, and help people share a little about themselves. We’ll let you know when we go live with the soft opening, and you can be an early part of the project!

gee whiz: the story of grady auvil is the story of local fruit innovator grady auvil. from the movie cover:

Guru, pioneer, saint, sage and pain in the rear – Grady Auvil has been called them all. Filmmakers Jamie Howell and Jeff Ostenson undertake an exploration into the life of the late, legendary fruit grower who brought the Granny Smith apple, the Fuji apple and the Rainier cherry, among others, into their own in the United States and around the world.

apt design has been working closely with howell at the moon during the project. we provided them with a design style to integrate throughout the video and across promotional materials. you can see some of that work in the portfolio.
