Feature Friday: Lots to come!

When Feature Friday rolls around we usually choose to showcase some of our work: whether its a new print ad, commercial, PR event, or radio spot. We like to show you what we have been busy creating! This week is a little bit of a different #FF as we want to highlight everything we have coming up!

We have been fortunate enough to sign several new clients in the last few weeks, and if the brainstorms we’ve had are any indication, we are going to have some AMAZING things to share with you!

We are going to have some great creative, social media, and PR updates for you in coming weeks, so get excited!

The beginning of a new client relationship is an exciting time: as an agency you have a lot of ideas, the client has ideas, there are so many possibilities on where a new campaign can go!

So stay tuned! We can’t wait to show you logos, print ads, commercials, press releases, social media campaigns, EVERYTHING! March is going to blow your mind!

Feature Friday: ANDERSON Brain Power

Friday, Friday, gotta get creative on Friday!

Yikes. That reference is dated isn’t it? Well even though we still enjoy a little Rebecca Black in the office, that doesn’t mean we aren’t on top of our game when it comes to our work!

We’ve had a busy week in the office and thought we’d give you a little glimpse into one of our creative team’s meetings and one of the projects we’re working on right now!

The crew is currently working on a couple different video concepts for Desert Schools Federal Credit Union. Not only do we work on Desert Schools’ commercial spots but we also produce marketing and promotional materials for them to use in-house.

What we have here is a storyboard that came out of a brainstorm we held earlier this week. This is a very early concept and between the story board, script, animation, and final editing, it will go through quite a few revisions.

So here is phase one of the project, can’t wait to share the final product! But that will have to wait for another Feature Friday!

Cheers!

Feature Friday: The Rat Pack is Back

Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis, Jr? Yep! That’s right the gang is all here! The Rat Pack is Back has taken over the stage of Mesa Arts Center and Phoenix’s Orpheum Theatre this week. The show hit the stage in on Main Street in Mesa and this weekend can be seen in Phoenix through Sunday.

For this week’s Feature Friday we wanted to share videos from some of the men’s appearances from this week!

The Rat Pack stopped by the Fox 10 Morning Show on Tuesday and had quite a fun time messing around with the hosts Rick D’Amico and Andrea Robinson, check out the guys below!

The Rat Pack is Back: MyFoxPHOENIX.com

The men also had a visit over to Sonoran Living and spent some time trying to woo the lovely Ms. Andi Barness…

Yes, as a matter of fact, Dean Martin did try to ask Andi out after the segment was over, these guys don’t break character at all!

In “The Rat Pack is Back”, Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean are back and doing it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of timeless standards including Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young” and “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles” – all with the backing of a swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period perfect orchestrations.

If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, head into Downtown Phoenix and catch one of their shows!

There are matinees and evening shows throughout the weekend, for tickets you can go straight to the box office or check out www.theaterleague.com

Feature Friday: The New Loyalty is Here!

Let’s get right to it. It’s Feature Friday. We know what you want to see, the new 2012 Harkins Loyalty artwork.

The ANDERSON creative team has had a lot of fun over the years developing the artwork for Harkins Loyalty items. The loyalty cup provides customers with $1 drink refills for an entire year!

Before we reveal next year’s artwork though, we wanted to take a look at how the artwork has evolved over the past several years…

A futuristic theme graced the Harkins cup in 2008

Then in 2009 we got to see some of our favorite film characters

2010′s cup was adorned with pop art (get it? Pop? Like soda-pop? So punny…)

All your favorite movie characters were seen on the 2011 cup, can you identify them all?

With 2012 right around the corner all the Loyalty for the new year is now ready to be unveiled…are you ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Harkins 2012 Loyalty Art!


The new loyalty is on sale now! So make sure you get to Harkins soon to enjoy a movie and some delicious popcorn and pick up a Loyalty cup which is good for $1 refills for the rest of the year and all of 2012! Can you identify what movies all the characters are from? Tell us in the comments!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Feature Friday: Desert Schools PR

Here we are at the end of yet another week and its time for #FeatureFriday. Not to sound like a broken record, but we happen to love our clients and Desert Schools is high amongst those ranks. We have the pleasure of working with Desert Schools both on the media side and on the PR front. So needless to say, the DS bug is buzzing pretty consistently throughout our office day in and day out.

From an agency perspective, working with a client on both sides means that we’re able to see its marketing and promotions efforts from all sides and makes it possible for us to help craft promotion strategies in the most complete and effective ways possible.

This week’s Feature Friday highlights a press announcement that we were proud to distribute on Desert Schools’ behalf. Desert Schools’ Executive Vice President, Ron Amstutz, was named ‘Executive of the Year’ by the Heart of Business Awards. Sponsored by the Phoenix Business Journal and HandsOn Phoenix, the award was given to Ron for his outstanding dedication to volunteerism and the contributions he has made to the Greater Phoenix community. It’s hard not to be inspired by Ron. So it’s no surprise to us that since he joined the Desert Schools family 13 years ago, the Desert Schools ‘CommuniTeam’ which offers its employees the opportunity to volunteer their time and talents on community projects has been thriving.

Nearly 50% of Desert Schools’ employees participated in community projects last year, volunteering 2,612 hours for almost 120 community projects — now that’s something to be proud of, wouldn’t you say so?

It’s such a rewarding feeling being able to help clients spread good news and show their current and future customers what they are all about. We can’t think of a better example than Desert Schools.

Congratulations, Ron!
