Jeff and Jer Showgram Website

The Jeff and Jer morning radio crew came to us when they were in between stations for help with keeping their brand relevant to their dedicated listeners. In two weeks time we concept and created this social media blog-style platform for their listeners to use to stay in touch with their favorite San Diego Radio Personalities.

Hazard Center Campaign - Bronze Addy

Hazard Center is a small, yet very practical center for your everyday needs. Having a map of your daily life displayed as a trolley map on the trolley lines was appropriate for this campaign. The website also follows the approach of getting in, getting out and getting what you need. Hazard Center, All you need. All in one stop.
