Less salesly and less text.

 

Could be part of the winter theme… just happens to be a snow covered house image.

Been very busy and somewhat disorganized; just moved to a new apartment and been doing all of this pro bono communications stuff for a PAC and whatnot, plus just got a new book deal. How's it going over there?

With regards to the send-out regarding the magazine cover, let me make sure I'm clear on what you'd want - basically the same format as a sales letter, but less sales-y, right? Going to be sending it out to friends as well as clients?

I'll get you a rough draft on some winter-themed copy for the main page in the next couple of days.

I think this one is good for now.  Paypal it up.

 

Did you think about that magazine cover / enewsletter?

 

Also we might want to do a Winter Wonderland story or something for the webpage.  Summer theme is a bit dated now.  Need something to get us back to Feb/love…. Holy crap – been a year already!

 

Hows things?  You keeping busy?

Here's a rough draft for that. Let me know what you think.

 

Thanks for Giving Us a Chance

To most Americans, Thanksgiving entails both quiet reflection and boisterous family conversations, happy hellos and sad goodbyes, prayer and football and combinations of the two. For us, Thanksgiving means being exiled to the kids' table because we simply won't stop talking about 3d. And the kids aren't too happy with us, either.

A Cornucopia of Awkward Silences

Apparently, Grandma has just as little tolerance for twenty-minute conversations on the subject of bloom lighting as she does for lactose. And Grandpa, it seems, likes to watch the ballgame in peace without having to hear about how easily we could render a photorealistic Cotton Bowl and how competitive our prices would be if someone were to ask us to do it. As for Uncle Cid, we thought we'd peaked his interest on the subject of cloud algorithms when he started nodding, but then he fell asleep with a beer in his hand. We'll get him next time. Or maybe not.

Well, Our Clients Love 3d. And So Will Yours.

So Thanksgiving isn't really our scene, and talk of 3d doesn't quite get the part going among the folks back home. But to those companies who have given us a chance, our unique approach to this most splendid of technologies is as pleasing as pumpkin pie and comparable to cranberry sauce.

3d is just as useful as it is tasty. For starters, it can help you to communicate your concepts to clients through pictures of the sort that are worth well over a thousand words. Ultimately, this can help to eliminate change orders, lost time, wasted resources, and other, similarly unsavory things that tend to result from communicational friction. More importantly, our finished product will help to accentuate the merits of your own, making it that much more likely that your next client presentation ends with a green light.

Problems? Solved.

Grandma doesn't quite get 3d. Do you?

Give us a call today. We'll be in the office, eating leftovers.
