Before the holidays we launched a clean website for the feature film, On The Ice. Here’s a brief synopsis of the film:

In this engrossing and suspenseful feature film debut by filmmaker Andrew Okpeaha MacLean, two teenage boys who have grown up like brothers go about their lives in the comfortable claustrophobia of an isolated Alaskan town. Early one morning, on a seal hunt with another teenager, an argument between the three boys quickly escalates into a tragic accident. Bonded by their dark secret, the two best friends are forced to create one fabrication after another in order to survive. The shocked boys stumble through guilt-fueled days, avoiding the suspicions of their community as they weave a web of deceit. With their future in the balance, they are forced to explore the limits of friendship and honor.

In addition to being able to download the film directly from the site, there are some really great packages available too.

We’re so excited to have launched a project so dear to our heart.

TheGSF.org was created for The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. Named after their beautiful child, Bill and Victoria Strong created theGSF to increase global awareness of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), which Gwendolyn was diagnosed with at 6-months-old. SMA is the #1 genetic killer of young children. We are honored to help in our own way by creating this platform from which theGSF can combat this disease, raise awareness, and offer a place of support for families impacted by SMA.

Please take the time to visit TheGSF.org to learn about the foundation, SMA, and what you can do to help.

This Summer has been jammed packed with fun and exciting new projects. One of our favorites has been getting to work with Doheny Days Music Festival 2011, which is finally happening THIS weekend in Dana Point, CA.

Earlier this year, Omega Events, the group behind Doheny Days, came to us to create a web presence for the revival of this festival that has a long standing history in the Southern California music scene after a 7 year hiatus. We enjoyed working closely with the team at Omega Events to define their overall branding including logo, colors, aesthetic and general vibe as illustrated on DohenyDays.com.

In addition to creating their website, Omega Events hired us to implement a strategic Marketing and Advertising Campaign during the summer, including online advertising, give-away contests and other creative marketing initiatives. We’re stoked on the success of this campaign and are loving the public’s response and excitement for Doheny Days. This first year back paves the road for a successful festival for years to come.

Want to know what to expect during Doheny Days? Here’s a little insight into the amazing two-day festival, which is sure to end the summer on the right note!

We recently mentioned how 170 Million Americans for Public Broadcasting came to us to create the home of their Raise Your Voice! campaign, and it’s now in full swing! Here’s the official Press Release:

170 Million Americans for Public Broadcasting and ANTI-Records are pleased to announce the release of Raise Your Voice!, a 16-track compilation of music from ANTI- artists being offered as a free download to advocates for public broadcasting. Anyone who signs up to join the campaign can download the compilation—available for a limited time only—by visiting RYVoice.org. Supporters will also have the opportunity to share Raise Your Voice! with their friends and social networks.

We were sought after by Andrea Bocelli’s camp to assist in the promotion of Andrea Bocelli, Live in Central Park - Sept. 15, 2011. This is a FREE concert for the lucky 60,000 fans who were able to snatch up tickets before they sold out quickly.

We recently launched a Topspin E4M page for 170 Million Americans. The campaign is called “Raise Your Voice” and features an exclusive compilation from some of your favorite artists in exchange for email.  We worked with Soundcloud for the media player that features all 16 songs.

We were so happy to get to work with longtime friend, Merlo Podlewski a.k.a JRADIO on a new microsite for him to promote his upcoming EP release. Many know Merlo as the bassist in Jack Johnson’s band, and those of you who have been to a Jack show have likely seen Merlo put his bass down, grab the mic and spit it hard. Now finally shifting focus towards his solo project, JRADIO is gearing up to release a new EP and hit the road.

Epitaph Records reached out to us to create a cool splash page for their band Falling In Reverse:
