What's Going On?

Posted by Rick Hosmer on June 16 2009| 1 Comments

It has been a busy past couple of weeks at Klündt | Hosmer. A lot going on, and not much time to post blog entries, but in an attempt to keep this up to date, here is a quick status report:

Annie Stillar is headed back to Spokane after spending a month touring Europe. She hit the hot spots in England, France, Italy, Greece, Austria and Ireland. We received on-going updates via email, Facebook postings and a phone call from Austria. Annie was an awesome employee at Klündt | Hosmer for six years. We hired her just before she turned 18-years-old, and it was wonderful watching her "grow-up". Once back in the states, Annie is heading to Portland to work in youth theatre. After her six years at Klündt | Hosmer, she's had plenty of practice directing "adolescents".

I was invited a speak on the topic of corporate branding and visual identity at the Spokane Club annual membership meeting last month. I also got to make a brief presentation at the Greater Spokane Incorporated monthly breakfast meeting last week. They asked me to speak on Klündt | Hosmer's tips for business success following the win of our AGORA C. Michael Archer Community Service Award.

Jean and I are working on a great opportunity working with a Christian ministry and college in the midwest. Their marketing director approached us after reading someone's Twitter posting about Logan Magazine. Interesting how social networking was used to generate new business with an organization who would never have known about us, otherwise. Hopefully, visual identity, print materials, websites, and print advertising will soon roll out of our office, with a strategic marketing plan to guide the implementation of these tactics.

We're just completing a series of multi-lingual marketing materials (brochures and a website) for a couple of manufacturing clients and a community health provider. There is a lot of international business being done in the Spokane region. Spanish, Russian, Chinese and German are some of the languages we are working with. Es una gran manera de aumentar su negocio.

That's it for a brief wrap-up. If you are interested in getting blog functionality and an easy-to-use content management system into your own business or organization's website, contact Klündt | Hosmer. As times change, it's critical to change your marketing approach to keep pace.
