Our Workshop

Period Three Web siteClient: Period Three
Work: E-newsletter: Ongoing public relations

Period Three is a Web development and design firm. Many thanks for their keen designs that still have us chuckling.

We provide Period Three with ongoing public relations and writing services, and jump on board to provide the same for their clients. After we arranged a radio interview for them, Period Three gained several new clients within a few weeks.


Client: Blue Ion / William Means Real Estate
Work: Search-engine optimized Web content and public relations campaign

As part of the creative team for Web development firm Blue Ion, we developed Web site content and press releases optimized for online search engines for William Means Real Estate, a preeminent broker of luxury real estate in Charleston, S.C. Our efforts resulted in the increased traffic of qualified visitors to their site.

Additionally, under a tight deadline, the team designed a simple, sleek mini site to market Windermere Townhomes, a new high-end development in one of Charleston’s established and hip neighborhoods.


The Recreation LandscapeClient: General Recreation
Work: Quarterly newsletter

General Recreation specializes in the design and installation of parks, playgrounds, skate parks and other outdoor leisure areas. They enlisted us to create its first quarterly newsletter, The Recreation Landscape, targeting their South Carolina market. Before the newsletter even hit mailboxes, the client increased the print run and requested a second version for their Pennsylvania/Delaware/New Jersey region. The company already has received calls from prospective clients.


Client: EduCare
Work: Direct mail and email marketing campaign

EduCare conducts breast health navigator training and breast health center strategic planning, as well as develops patient education materials. Amid a more clinical-style approach from competitors, this company is known for its warm, affirming and easy-to-understand approach to breast health education.

We developed an eye-catching brochure and e-messages to market their educational brochures and trainings. Within a half-hour of sending out their first email message, they received a flood of calls and emails for orders. EduCare is ecstatic not only with the fresh, new designs, but with the immediate and long-term results of the campaign.

    Thank you to Gil Gerretsen for sharing “Desiderata,” by Max Ehrmann via email earlier this week:

    Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender,
    be on good terms with all persons.
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,

    they too have [...]

  • Ok with not knowing everything.

    December 15, 2009

    Life has been good at Big Gnome. Silent on the blog, a little more vocal on the Twitters, but we’ve been heads down working on some really cool work, including a rebranding for an IT security firm.
    To take a moment from the grind, I started Monday off in more relaxed fashion: I met Cass Tyson, [...]
