VOLTAGE has designed and launched a new look and website for The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. Along with our colleagues Vladimir Jones, we’ve taken the Royal Gorge’s web presence to new heights, and depth – and that’s pretty deep. The Royal Gorge Bridge is one of the world’s highest suspension bridges – hanging 956 feet high and spanning a quarter mile across the canyon. The park is an experience unlike any destination you’ll ever experience with 360 acres and 21 rides, shows and attractions to explore. The site features the parks excitement, history and allows visitors to buy tickets online, get directions, or surf key information on their mobile devices through an optimized mobile version of the site.

We’ve been so busy the last few months we’ve fallen a bit behind on our blog. At the beginning of the  year we launched a mobile site for Xcel Energy’s Responsible by Nature site. Having done many mobile sites, we we’re thrilled to fully employ jQuery and it’s super cross platform / cross device usability. The simple architecture makes it easy for users from Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North & South Dakota, Texas or Wisconsin to quickly access rebates and energy information specific to their region across all current mobile devices.

VOLTAGE is excited to announce it will be adding more account services and a strategic partner – Vladimir Jones – in 2011.  We are turning things up a notch. Yes, In the infamous words of Spinal Tap lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel – we are taking the business to “11” in 2011.

Vladimir Jones is Colorado’s most enduring, privately held, full-service agency specializing in integrated marketing, advertising, communications and insight. The agency staff of over 70 people is multidisciplinary and represents expertise in all facets of marketing communications strategy and implementation.

2011 will definitely be “one louder” for VOLTAGE this year. THX VJ!

Last year VOLTAGE designed and helped launch the new UPG brand with Umpqua Feather Merchants. The products were a huge success selling out quickly and receiving “Best New Flybox of 2010″ from Feild & Stream Magazine. Thanks to the die-hard flyfishing mentality and insight of Umpqua’s product design team – the flybox has once again evolved!

This year UPG launches 5 new box designs: The Midge (your compact midge fridge), The Daytripper (designed for the rocky mountain daytrip in mind), and the Double Wide, Flats, and Streamer boxes (for all your Saltwater needs!) VOLTAGE has designed and developed a campaign for the new product launch and micro-site – www.flyboxevolution.com. Check it out as it evolves!

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!

VOLTAGE had the opportunity to work with TDA Advertsing & Design in developing a website for the Sir Richards condom brand which has recently been recognized by Commarts magazine – the leading trade journal for visual communications. Good to know we had our own little part in saving the world one condom at a time. TDA is an amazing shop and we enjoyed working with their team on a few projects like this. See the feature here on Commarts website.

Voltage along with the talented folks at Vladimir Jones have launched a variety of rich media banner ads for Xcel’s responsible by nature campaign. We’ve produced a variety of standard flash banner ads, rich media banners, and custom game banners for the Energy company. One in particular launches an energy saving game that gives the user 15 seconds to pull the plug! It’s more challenging than you’d think, and there’s an easy way to win it – but sorry, you’ll get no Cheat Codes from us! Check it out on Meebo’s network.

VOLTAGE would like to wish everyone an Electrifying Christmas and a Positive New Year! Truly – heartfelt thanks go out to all our Clients, Friends, Family & Colleagues. We truly enjoy working with you all and thanks to your trust, support and collaboration – we have a great time doing what we love! Enjoy this mashup playlist from DJ Rico!
