Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. ~W.J. Cameron

Elements has again volunteered to be a Thanksgiving food drive collection site for the Christian Community Action. We will be collecting non-perishable food or, if you prefer, you could help us fill the bags with food to be distributed to needy New Haven families. We will be collecting food donations until this Friday, November 20th. We hope you will consider a donation from your Thanksgiving feast to feed someone less fortunate.

In October, Amy attended the InBound Marketing Summit at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. This summit was devoted to social media – how companies are successfully integrating social media into every aspect of business from public relations and customer service to human resources, sales and marketing. Amy has many takeaways from this conference to share with all of our clients as we continue to keep pace with the changing landscape of social media.

Amy will be presenting twice this week. First, on Wednesday, November 18th from 2-3pm at the New Haven Business Expo in Wallingford’s Chevrolet Theatre on the Technology Council’s Social Media Panel.

PROJECT

Holiday Card

RESULT

As our first assignment with our new partner, Hull’s Art Supply and Framing, we created a holiday campaign including print ads, in-store and window graphics and a holiday card. Amy designed and then set about creating (with the help of a Hull’s employee, [another] Amy) beautiful snowflakes made entirely from Hull’s wide selection of art, architecture and framing supplies. Click the image for a larger view of just one of the snowflakes created for the campaign.
