Canadian Society for the Investigation of Child Abuse needed an engaging, non-threatening way to help prepare children for court.
We were honored to help CSICA help children by creating Super Hero Island, a fun, interactive island that makes testifying a lot less scary for children.
ICUC Moderation Services are the eyes and ears of some of the largest brands in the world.
Lucky for us, we are their interactive agency. Check out their new brand identity, messaging and their interactive
branded website.
The City of Winnipeg was looking for an innovative way to get public input into its new comprehensive 25-year plan.
With an interactive website and social media at its core, we created a brand for the initiative and a comprehensive marketing strategy that included street teams, outdoor media, guerilla tactics and feedback mechanisms.
Decor Cabinets wasn't always one of North America's leading cabinet manufacturers.
We began working with Decor Cabinets in 2006 by helping define what makes them unique as a company. Since that time, we've become completely integrated into their marketing department. From market research to sales strategy, we help with every part of their marketing and communications.
When the “world's foremost outfitter” expanded their business into Canada, they needed a strong online presence to compliment their already strong brand.
We led their online efforts in the Canadian market through market research, rich media design and the development of a brand new website with over 30,000 items for sale. We kept the Cabela's brand at the forefront while ensuring that the site was visibly Canadian.
How do you market the invisible? Despite success with Adidas and Fruit of the Loom, Idea was having difficulty growing their business.
We started by simplifying their message and then refined their brand, created a visual identity to match and a website that clearly communicates their innovative solution to supply-chain headaches.
You know where you want to be. You hear about the interactive online digital social-something-or-other world but don't know how to use it. You want someone to really listen then offer solutions you've never thought of. From interactive marketing to brand development to print material, we can do it all.
Get into the new game. We'll take you there.

Merged what? You ask. Oh, just two companies. That's all. Yup, Mars Hill and BCG Communications merged today to create a new kind of agency.

What can we say? We're super excited about the expanded services we can now offer our clients.

ReadySetResults.com is a great example of when two great minds think alike. We've partnered with Tribune Media Services to deliver their creative solutions to the cable industry. Our passion for user experience and insight into their market was a key factor in helping them connect with their audience online. Our experience with creative collaboration combined with a lack of a template approach truly helped ReadySetResults.com deliver off-the-shelf that's on the mark.

How do most people find a realtor? Through referrals. The Greg Michie Team of Sutton Group is no different. They wanted a new way to thank current clients and encourage them to refer him to their friends.
Recognizing that people are online more and more, Michie decided to go interactive and use our personalized VideoBridge technology in his new marketing campaign. The video also includes an interactive "Get a Move On" online game, through which anyone who wants to refer Michie can send a personalized message and website link to their friends.

When a website becomes bloated with too much content, it's like a closet that runs out of hangers but keeps filling up with clothes.
On their existing site, the Clean Environment Commission (CEC) had loads of valuable content related to environmental issues that matter to Manitobans but it wasn't super easy to find it all.
The opportunity we saw was to create some custom admin tools that allowed for ease of updating large amounts of content in an efficient manner, while also presenting loads of important content in a format that's user-friendly and easy to navigate.
Find out more at www.cecmanitoba.ca - maybe you'll even want to get involved.

We've teamed up with Tribune Media Services to distribute VideoBridge, our own spiffy technology that creates personal and customized video messages. While we're pitching the product to a variety of verticals, TMS is our exclusive sales agent for North American cable television companies.
Managing Director of TMS Marketing Services Richard Hill thinks our product is a good fit for their cable operators, saying, "This dynamic direct marketing tool will help... reach their audience in ways they never could before." (Seriously, who doesn't love all things dynamic?)

This summer, New Media Manitoba put out a call to profile eight new media Manitoba companies then showcase the video clips in Winnipeg and beyond.
Thanks to New Media Manitoba for selecting us as one of the eight and kudos to Lisanne and James from BlinkWorks Media for a fun shoot and fantastic film. (Our Creative Director was a little afraid of the camera, but — hey — he survived.)
When the 4-minute video premiered last night at the IMAX, our jaws dropped at the finished product. Not because our company looked 10 pounds heavier... but because NMM and Blink-Works outdid themselves. Check it out on Vimeo... we think you'll agree.

Imagine a child who's a victim of child abuse and facing the nightmare of testifying in a courtroom. All they want is to close their eyes and wish that some big giant fairy would swoop in and say, "I'm here to help; let's relax and get through this together." Turns out, there is such a fairy... she's called "CSICA" (pronounced sick-kah). For close to 20 years, Canadian Society for the Investigation of Child Abuse has been committed to supporting those involved in the investigation of child abuse.
We're helping develop interactive and informative tools to build their brand and engage with victims, their families and witnesses. The first piece is SuperHero Island, an interactive island that focuses on fun games and educational elements such as memory, relaxation techniques and the rules of the court room. As children progress through the island, the process of testifying becomes better understood and less threatening. Visit the island!

Nothing much beats the Kings Head Pub & Eatery for live entertainment, the friendliest staff in town and an authentic English pub experience.
We were thrilled when they turned to us for leadership on a new website and set out to create an interactive experience based on the atmosphere and dcor of the actual pub. This month their new site went live — check it out at www.kingshead.ca.
This effort took the research resources of the entire Mars Hill team. We worked until the wee hours of the night making sure we fully understood our client's unique offerings. All that beer. All that food. Work, work, work.
Our offices are so close to their space that now we keep on going there for — ummm — post-launch research. Let's just say we highly recommend this destination pub in the heart of Winnipeg's Exchange District.
