With Alcohol Awareness Month coming to a close, our team made one last trip to Washington, D.C. to tag along with Olympic Gold Medalist, Simone Biles and Responsibility.org as well as special guest, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars as they visited students at Arlington Science Focus School and Capitol Hill to help raise awareness about the dangers of underage drinking.
This is the second project to this month that we had the opportunity to produce with Simone and Responsibility.org as part of our Projects That Matter Initiative.

Shaq + Responsibility.org March Madness
Our team travelled to the NBA’s Turner Studios to capture former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal as he once again teamed up with the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to promote responsible drinking to those planning to drink while their favorite teams are shooting hoops during March Madness.
Responsibility.org created the Virtual Bar to educate of-age adults about responsible drinking whether hosting or attending parties where alcohol is served. It’s all about understanding what it actually means to drink responsibly and, if you choose to drink, how to know your limits.
The Virtual Bar can help explain how different factors affect your blood-alcohol concentration or BAC on an individual level and can also can help you see how your night could go depending on the food you eat, the water you drink throughout the night, and other important variables. The tool is available on line and can also be downloaded as a free app.
The Virtual Bar is available for free from the iTunes App and Google Play stores and is also available online at Responsibility.org/VirtualBar

More Than Just Video
WORKING WITH c.i. Squared
Many of you know us as a Video Production company – which we absolutely are! However, we are also so much more. More often than not, we are a one stop shop for most of our clients. We concept, write, and create creative campaigns, but then also have the bandwidth to create all of the content to back up our ideas.
A great example of this was our recent work with leadership development and sales training company, c.i. squared. They are brought into Fortune 500 companies such as SAP and Johnson & Johnson to help train and develop executive level employees. When they first came to us they thought that even though their training technics were cutting-edge their supporting marketing material was a step behind. Our job was to change that through a company rebrand.
We started with their story.
Our story guru, Mika Maloney spent a month pouring over data and working with c.i. squared’s founders to craft their brand platform. From there, our graphic designers created a new brand identity. We started with their logo, then all of their print and handout materials such as business cards, envelopes, and presentation collateral. We even overhauled a 100 slide presentation deck to fit their new direction. Then came their brand new website and videos to be incorporated into their site. Each one of these items, down to the last detail plays a role in telling their story. We made sure that every sentence, every frame, every pixel worked in unison with the next. That is why we call ourselves “cross-platform” storytellers.
OUR WORK WITH JUSTIN, TRAVIS AND THE ENTIRE JTWO FILMS HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO SHOW AN IMPACT TO OUR BUSINESS. WITH THEIR VISUAL STORYTELLING, JTWO CREATED A HIGH-END BRAND IMAGE THAT IS HELPING US DIFFERENTIATE FROM OUR COMPETITORS.NOT ONLY ARE THE FINAL PRODUCTS THAT JTWO DELIVERED TO US CUTTING EDGE (WEBSITE, LOGO, PRESENTATION MATERIALS, AND OUR 90 SECOND COMMERCIAL) BUT WITH THEIR GUIDANCE, WE ALSO CRYSTALIZED OUR MESSAGE, POSITIONING AND STORY.
