Numerous Advertising Corporations Made The Decision To Drag In Their Horns A Little And Contract Out Some Of The Services That Were Only Required On An As-Needed Basis, Such As Media Purchasing, Writing And Web Design.

A number of ad agencies made the decision to tug in their horns a little and contract out some of the services that were only required on an as-needed basis, such as media buying, writing and website design (in Croatian web dizajn). Aaron Salus of Strut Creative understands the problems, but the sort of response he felt he needed to service his clients meant that he ceased farmingout and built an in-house web team which has quickly grown to eight full time plus contract positions.

That move proved a blessing as having control of workflow has been necessary in solving challenges for two of his major clients : Shell Canada and Brookfield Homes.

Shell is a long established company member of the community accounting for more than eight thousand jobs and 1,600 retail stations across the country. Over time Shell has given a good deal of support for Canadian programs benefiting the environment, but felt that the public awareness stayed comparatively low,

It challenged Strut to develop plans to engage the public and get them more concerned in Shell's 20-year-old environmental programme.

Salus and his creative team produced a Fuelling Change programme that incorporates social media and voting. Shoppers earn votes by redeeming the code from their Shell receipt to help their fave environmental programs win up to $100,000 in grants. In total, $1 million is up for grabs each year.

Closely partnering with dozens of environmental organizations and generating an average of over 160,000 votes every month over the web has enabled Shell to show its commitment over a wide audience.

Strut also developed for Shell in collaboration with Canadian Geographic, an Energy Challenge by engaging 6 families across the land on an energy diet. Salus says the website and blog has captured an astounding amount of audience collusion in its first couple of weeks.

Brookfield Homes - previously Heartland and Hawthorne Homes - has a core audience of young, techno-savvy newbie house purchasers and it asked Strut to come up with ways to make the experience of buying a home more engaging for them.

Staff concluded that a campaign using mobile smartphones, a sequence of interactive multitouch sales kiosks and a new website were required.

The result's a use of interactive tools to steer the experience, managed from one central db that Brookfield staff can update. Making an account gives users the ability to view floor plans, pictures and videos on their smartphone of Brookfield models ; browse by community and style ; view maps ; take additional stills ; and even add other home builders models.

Strut's revolutionary free smartphone HomingDevice gives customers full access to their account on a busy schedule, from anywhere.

Though still making much usage of the more standard sorts of advertising for clients like Heritage Park, Search Carbon Capture and Storage, Black Diamond Energy Services and Canadian Diagnosing Centers, Strut's web team has focused on designing unique solutions for clients that require interactive platforms. Good examples are a publishing engine for Social Club Discount Listings and an auction company based in Kelowna built around the sale of high-end properties, boats and wine collections,write tagza.com.
