Email Marketing Kudos

One of our clients who understands the importance of email marketing for her business is Katy Beh of Katy Beh Contemporay Jewelry. She also understands that your emails must be smart, to the point and relevant to be noticed in a recipient's in-box. We develop the concept for each email campaign, Katy's provides us with stunning photography and she's not afraid to use humor. Recently she got the following note:

Every time I receive your emails – I love them! And today I decided to send you a note and let you know that I love them. They are attractive, short and sweet, very entertaining – and authentic. They excite me about jewelry (I normally do not get excited about jewelry from looking at pictures) and bring me to your site even when I should be busy working :-). I feel like buying the jewelry from your store every time I think about it, and if I were not located in Canada – I would! You are doing a great job in marketing – and in selecting such wonderful pieces. Thank you.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about, sign up for Katy's emails on her website: http://www.katybeh.com/stayintouch.php

2009 AIGA New Orleans Fellow: Christy Hackenberg

December 8, 2009
by Weston McWhorter

Congratulations to Christy Hackenberg, our 2009 AIGA New Orleans Fellow.

Christy founded award-winning New Orleans–based branding and communication design company Creative Zumo along with business partner Gaby Tillero in 2005. Prior to that, she was an instructor in the Visual Communications department at Delgado Community College and had worked at several prominent design and advertising firms in New Orleans.

In 2007, Christy was named a New Orleans Magazine “Person to Watch” for co-founding Women & Wine on Wednesday, a women’s networking organization that provides an opportunity for women to share resources and discover new opportunities.

She is a founding member and past president of the AIGA New Orleans chapter and continues to stay active. Christy moved to New Orleans in 1992 after graduating with a BFA from Florida State University and attributes her association with AIGA as an important factor in the development of her graphic design career.

Please join us in congratulating Christy on receiving this honor as a leader in New Orleans’ design community, not just as a designer per se, but as motivator, organizer, and general ball o’ fire. Her tireless efforts have benefited us all many times over.

Web Design Kudos

Our web site design for Katy Beh Contemporary Jewelry got a nod recently in the Times-Picayune's special shopping section "Wish." (link)

A Zumo client gets Lucky!

One of our clients, Katy Beh Contemporary Jewelry, has appeared in Lucky "the magazine about style and shopping" in "Lucky Picks" and in a 2007 article about shopping in New Orleans. Recently, the web site - that we designed - was proclaimed one of Lucky's "Sites We Love."

Offering a well-curated selection of cool names (Annette Ferdinandsen, Jamie Joseph), this New Orleans boutique photographs all of one designer's items together, in beautiful vignettes, so you don't have to scroll through tons of pages to see everything.
