CviaD Launches New Web Site
With the CviaD web site a little over two years old, we decided that it was time to reevaluate its efficiency. After conducting a comprehensive audit — gathering information and visitor feedback, we decided to take a new approach. This approach utilizes the same process as exercised in client site development: measurement, analysis and refinement. We moved away from a fully Flash enabled site to a fully HTML enabled site. We scaled down the loading and information access time and increased the ease of navigation. Our portfolio is easier for viewers to access and us to update. We pushed HTML to its limits — giving visitors immediacy to content without compromising the design. Let us know what you think of our shiny new www.cviad.com!

 

 

 

The American Red Cross of MA Bay Joins Client Roster
For the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Bay, we developed two integrated projects: a new engagement brochure and a financial report. The brochure functions as an awareness tool and an involvement piece. Geared toward corporations and individuals, it breaks through assumptions about the Red Cross and educates its audience as to the range of specialized services the Red Cross provides to the Massachusetts Bay Area communities. The theme of the brochure is “Here when you need us”. It depicts the Red Cross as a ubiquitous organization in all our communities, always there when you needed them and now they need you. The financial report is a piece that acts as a stand alone audit as well as an integrated part of the ARCMB collateral. These projects continue CviaD’s growing commitment to working with charitable agencies.

 

AEW Focuses on Branding
Expanding AEW Capital Management’s brand identity and corporate standards for their marketing materials, CviaD launched this project with an in-depth internal marketing analysis and external competitive analysis. This comprehensive study realized a need to refresh their current materials, emphasizing AEW’s strengths and unique qualities. In the end, CviaD provided a refreshed versatile look for all their marketing tiers: reporting, research and marketing, which maintains their brand integrity. The next phase involves taking this refreshed look and evolving it into presentation materials as well as specific market segment collateral. The new look supports AEW’s established reputation and familiarity while providing them room to grow and prosper.

 
Cabot Corporation Launches PDF Newsletter
Recently for Cabot Corporation, we repositioned their Cabot Rubber Blacks newsletter from a printed publication to an interactive PDF. This manufacturing industry leader develops Rubber Blacks™, a product present in everything from tires to flooring to hoses and belts. The look and feel of this new newsletter is harmonious with their existing Web site. This new format provides a more meaningful exchange of news and ideas in a more immediate and cost-effective fashion.
