We Keep Raising the Bar

by Cat Gilliam

October 17, 2011
TNG is moving right along in the Fall of 2011. The designs of our talented members continue to impress and delight our clients. Congratulations to Creatives Melissa Kenney (whose design was chosen by Habitat for Humanity) and Adam Vogel (whose design was chosen by The Boys and Girls Club). Due to the array of impressive and industry-grade designs turned out by our creative team, the clients no doubt had a hard time choosing. Major kudos to the team!

This week, we will be finalizing our designs for Family Therapy, 4Seasons Window and Carpet Cleaning, and Brickhouse Cinema. The designs are sure to be just as remarkable and inspired as ever, as TNG continues to deliver “More Than Expected, Sooner Than Expected”.

The Ball is Officially Rolling...

by Cat Gilliam

TNG is really getting into the swing of things, having our first group critiques of rough ideas for client projects. The talent displayed by our Creative team is outstanding thus far, and promises to only get better!

We are creating marketing pieces for The SCTCC Foundation, which is responsible for scholarship programs and equipment purchasing for St. Cloud Technical and Community College. The pieces will be for The Foundation’s upcoming “Night of a Thousand Laughs”, a fundraising gala for community leaders and partners to be held in November.

Also, we are privileged to be working again with The Boys and Girls Club. Our Creatives are burning the midnight oil to provide BGC with a variety of designs to choose from for their annual year-end mailer.

The design ideas we have seen so far are a true testament to the creativity and professionalism that The Northway Group always strives for. Let’s keep up the great work, team!
