New Oregon Zoo site

The Oregon Zoo just launched it’s brand new Sockeye designed website. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. A great client. A fun project. A powerful brand. Majestic imagery. Beautiful results. We hope everyone enjoys the site as much as we did designing it.

Check it out for yourself: OregonZoo.org

Share it with friends and then go visit Packy the elephant (his 50th birthday is April 14) and all the other lovely animals.

WOOHOO!!!

A huge THANK YOU to the hard working people at the Oregon ADDYs. We had a great time at the award ceremony. And taking home some awards wasn’t too shabby either…

And a very special THANK YOU to our clients. If it wasn’t for your trust in Sockeye, we would just be another group of “designing misfits with a coffee problem.” Instead we’re “designing misfits with a coffee problem that make award winning work for great clients.”

Here is a sampling on the hardware we took home. Click on the link and get a video viewing of the work:

Hey All Creative People,

We’ve all had work that was just a little before it’s time. Great, brilliant and earth-moving, but for whatever reason it hit the cutting room floor. Well, now it’s time for its second coming. Share your favorite killed work via Twitter @sockeyecreative #DustBunnies and we’ll post it to our Facebook page. Video. Print. Web. Any medium. Once it’s posted give it a like and ask your friends to do the same. Best work wins the secret prize.

Aftermath….

We had our holiday party last night. Great people, dancing, food, laughs, egg nog and snow cones. Super fun. When the foggy haze of morning arrived all that was left were some chicken wings, potato salad and a forgotten pair of red shoes…

Thanks to everyone that made it out. You are the reason for the season. If you happened to go home barefooted we may have your shoes…

Waiting for Santa

After we read John Fisher’s letter to Santa, we realized his expectations for Christmas were high. So we told him Santa got him something epic from his list. John is so excited in anticipation of his gift that he’s decided to sleep under the tree for the rest of the year.

Nobody tell him he’s getting the complete collection of John Tesh Christmas music. Take a listen…

Kudos for KEEN Utility

We are big fans of our client KEEN Utility and their innovative products. We started working with them about a year ago and it seems our first campaign is starting to gain some traction. The “Project Re-Boot” campaign not only speaks to the literal activity of putting on new boots, but also to our celebration of those workers “Re-Booting” our economy by doing things a little differently. We’ve visited a wind farm, Ford’s green truck manufacturing plant, and the largest dam removal in US history. At each stop we Re-Booted the crew and used their stories for our campaign’s inspiration.

It’s been a labor of love for all involved, so it’s very nice to see the word spreading. Here are a couple of sites that the videos are getting some love:

Fun Shoe Release Event

There are shoe release events and then there are Jordan Brand shoe release events. If you haven’t seen the W+K and Carmelo Anthony explosive water projection shoe release event video you should.

It was part shoe release, part publicity stunt, part concert and all genius. Kudos.
