Graphic Design
Brick and Balloon’s team has a combined 40 years of graphic design experience, yet we still get carded at the bars. How is that possible? Well, good design keeps you young.
We specialize in full-service web design (including starting from scratch and/or redesigning your website) and print projects big and small. In our varied careers, we have designed items as large as a billboard to as small as a ballpoint pen. If you have direction, give it to us, we can take it. If you don’t, that’s ok too. We will meet with you and your team to figure out what you need and what we can do to support and grow your business through bold and beautiful graphics. We want to give you design that makes sense for your business – if you brand is not playful, we aren’t going to give you a monkey juggling a pineapple for a logo. Unless your company name is Monkey/Pineapple. I mean, come on.
Marketing Strategy
If you build it, they will come? FALSE! You’re going to have to invite them. And even then, they might come. We will help you build the invitation, the hype, and figure out how to get the earholes and eyeholes to hear and see what you want them to see/experience/purchase.
Creative Branding
Ah, the elusive branding element. An important and often overlooked part of your strategy, that can set you apart from your competitors and build loyalty with your customers. Do you want to be subtle with your brand, or in your face? Whatever you decide - consistency in your brand is key. We will brainstorm and target ideas that will set you apart and keep you on brand and in the forefront of your customer’s minds
Copywriting
We are word-nerds. We love puns. Playing with words and structure and punctuation and jokes and language and … oh boy, you have got us going. Angie has a journalism background, and it’s her part-time hobby to find spelling errors in websites and signage. She really can’t help it. We are here to craft your messaging in all forms of communication: newsletters, eblasts, websites, signage, advertising copy… you name it, we write it. We’ve even written a few online dating profiles. Not our finest work, but hey, we’ll do pretty much anything for our friends.
Video Production
There’s a reason that video content is king (or queen): it engages the customer and adds an air of authenticity. Keep the video short and sweet and then your customers might just end up sharing it - are you prepared to go viral? Brick and Balloon have produced professional videos from concept stage to final product, including editing, set design, copywriting, animations and more. If you have a complicated product or concept that needs to be simplified for your customers, then let’s talk about animated “explainer” videos.
Project management
We work best with a deadline. We think you will too. But who will keep the process moving forward? B&B, that’s who! You have enough to worry about, including staffing, purchasing, payroll, etc. Give us your complicated marketing projects and we’ll keep them rolling along without having to bug us for status updates. We’ll keep you updated on all developments and will be completely transparent about what we need to make this partnership a success.
