The big guy in red sent Stacy the Elf to Hagerstown to make sure our team was on our best behavior this Christmas. Our staff had a blast putting Stacy the Elf to work, teaching her about brand strategy and marketing services to improve the North Pole’s Internet success. Check out these behind-the-scenes photos of how our team turned a creative idea into an online success.

“How does my hair look, you guys?”
Matt, photographer and designer extraordinaire, takes a few shots in the front lobby of Power Marketing & Coldwell Banker Innovations. The white wall in the background made it easier for Stacy to be “cut out” and “shrinked” in Photoshop.
Strike a pose!
“She’s an angry elf. She must be from the South Pole.”
“You want me to do what? Let me write this down!”
“SANTA?!!! I KNOW HIM!!!!”
Only a few more shots left. How do you feel about that, Stacy the Elf?
From photo to Photoshop, here are a few screenshots of how Matt transformed Stacy Miller into Stacy the Elf throughout our office.

Our client, Maryland winery Big Cork Vineyards, wanted a holiday-inspired ad to spread word about a special discount they’re offering: free online shipping through Dec. 15. The ad currently is running in the Frederick-News Post‘s print and online editions. The goal was to feature the offer while creating an eye-catching design that lets readers know the offer is a limited-time, holiday-only special.
Lead Designer Amanda Linthicum chose a red, green and black color palette to agree with the holiday theme. She created the lightbulbs by hand in PhotoShop. The headline copy is catchy, attention-grabbing and holiday inspired. The copy explains why Big Cork’s award-winning wines are the perfect addition for any holiday meal.
