We are the easiest agency you'll ever work with. Branding, interactive and launch campaigns are what we love to do.
We sometimes get a little sick with all the "social media guides" that are out there, just about had a heart attack when the Social Media Bible came out, but this guide developed by 360i is robust, to the point and for the most part without fluff. Certainly check it out if you're having a hard time wrapping your head around everything.
FirstStrategic, a leading public policy firm in Arizona approached Keane a few months ago to assist with their new name and brand. Changing from HGDR to FirstStrategic and armed only with a logo and font choice we developed the new aggressive look and feel managing everything from the company photography to the final layout and development of the website.
Here's a glance at the old site:

Take note, Tempeans (Tempeites? Tempans?) – your Tempe Chamber of Commerce is holding its biggest event of the year next week, the Annual Luncheon. The Chamber fleshed out a more substantial annual event this year, adding a series of break-out discussions after the keynote speakers. Keane – or, more specifically, Russ Perry – will be heading up a session entitled Branding's Amazing Race – Driving Your Brand in Online Circles. a quick talk on effectively incubating and raising brands online. In it, he'll cover the basic differences between traditional visual/experiential brands (those operating in print, broadcast, events) and the new dynamic presented by online channels, user-generated content and social media.
Keane's discussion will be relatively short, devoting more time to Q/A. In this way, participants get a more personal and relevant experience – gleaning tips that can hopefully be applied directly to specific businesses. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM, at Fiesta Resort and Conference Center. Cost is $50 for TCC members/$65 non-members. And lastly, a quick overview of the schedule: 11:00 Registration and Networking

While I was away on vacation, Russ Perry initiated a bon voyage contest to tweet about how much you all miss me. Aww. So cute. Now that I'm back, I've chosen the winner: The Lavidge Co's achey, sorrowful @timjessup, who tweeted several sweetly dripping yearns of honey and desire. You, sir, are hereby awarded a copy of Innovative Designs that Work, distributed by the always illustrious Rockport Publishers. We'll find a way to get that out to you in an expeditious manner.
It's hard to chose just one sweet tweet, and Tim provided several. Among my favorites:@russ_maloney My heart is melting like those Alaskan glaciers without you. Be my Al Gore and save me. #imissmaloney
@russ_maloney Are you thinking of me in the sea? Do the vast star-filled night skies remind you of the twinkle in my eyes? #imissmaloney
@russ_maloney Holden's been licking himself on your pillow. He misses you, too. #imissmaloney

Project Management seems like one of the largest hurdles in our industry. When timelines span weeks, even months, there's no 100% perfect solution. Factor in having to manage multiple schedules, people, clients and things can really get messy.
After years of solid Basecamp use, I decided to develop a more hands-on approach. During a lunch with the team at Forty Agency we discussed the pitfalls of online project management. All in all it's just too easy to ignore, not check or let tasks and to-dos accumulate. Even though there's robust reminder systems, those are usually in the form of email and are just as easy to forget about. With that said we're going to simplify things a bit here at Keane. The photo below is what I would consider the low-fi pre-alpha version of the new system. The basic idea is simple: - Clients have an area on the wall. A larger client gets more space.

We're very excited to see MADCAP Theaters officially launching this weekend. For those of you who don't know MADCAP is a public space designed to help revitalize the Downtown Tempe area with space for live art, performances, music and more. Always a big supporter of everything Tempe, we just hope the quality of entertainment isn't a direct reflection of their graphic design ability. We're not sure who exactly they are trying to attract to the space, but we guess nothing says a good time like extreme drop shadows and go-go dancer girl clip-art.
