In September 2011, VOLTAGE and VJ launched Centura Health’s Distracted Driving Challenge as part of the health care provider’s BetterMe Blueprint Program.  This comprehensive online program uses a foundation of email and social media to tap into drivers’ personal relationships and help them stay committed to the challenge. The driving challenge is the first in a quarterly effort to raise awarness of Colorado’s largest healthcare provider and kicks off the first of a set of unique campaign challenges that you’ll be hearing about in the future.

People who’ve register for this Challenge on the Web landing page or Facebook tab, receive weekly emails over four weeks that enable them and others in their network to track their progress. The campaign creates a personal connection to try and change behavior.  Names are chosen randomly for a $50 gift card, and one person who completes all four weeks of the programs will be selected for unique prizes.

VOLTAGE has also worked with Centura to digitally integrate VJ’s connected campaign which links Colorado’s largest health care provider to its family of brands, including 13 hospitals across the state. To do this we’ve designed Centura.org, which was developed on the MedSeek platform, and added a host of hospital landing pages, campaign pages and other digital media including online banner display ads, rich ad units, and facebook apps.

Now, go on. Get connected to a thing called life!

Fresh Produce Clothing is a women’s lifestyle brand known and loved by women ages 6 months to 60-plus for lush colors, year-round sensibility, and simply inspired design.

A $50 million dollar company in it’s third decade – Fresh Produce has retail stores in La Jolla, Beach Haven, Martha’s Vineyard, Santa Barbara and other exclusive seashore resorts in North America and the Caribbean.

VOLTAGE Advertising & Design has developed a new look for Fresh Produce’s 2010/11 campaign – Live Life, Enjoy Color. The new look references the organic feel of homegrown farmers markets and introduces the brand to a younger audience.

Along with SmartClick Adwords the new design and online marketing strategy has garnered tremendous sales results in the digital space for the brand.

VOLTAGE designed the Getaway by Color sweepstakes – that featured four colorful trips facebook followers could win. The contest added 6,000 fans to their fan base and 4,500 entries.

Weekly email marketing blasts that were designed by VOLTAGE have dramatically increased open rates and click through rates.

We have enjoyed working with a brand that focuses on so much positive energy and the coastal lifestyle. It’s definitely rubbed off on the design team – going from predominantly black attire to varying shades of gray, even an army green shirt has popped up around the office.

Thanks Fresh Produce for the good vibe!
