From concept to grand opening, the stylists behind Chicago’s hottest new boutique salon, Appointment Only, had a plan. The vision was a salon slightly off the beaten path, in every way, with style & services that warranted extra attention and experience as warm & inspiring as the personalities behind it.

Creating this digital experience required attention be paid to every last cut & color detail imaginable. Hand in hand with the minds behind the business, we created an “everywhere experience” to get Appt-Only off the ground and growing in style.

The fast casual dining category is highly competitive and noisy. To stand out you first need to have delicious product – check! But that alone isn’t enough. Mezza needed to look and feel like socially responsible creators of amazing, healthy fare.

From strategic planning to striking photography. From a loyalty program overhaul to execution of an always-on social presence. Our partnership has produced a recipe truly greater than the sum of its ingredients.

Who doesn’t love pets, right? We sure do. Purpose-driven at its inception, the folks at Bentley’s Corner Barkery came to us to build an e-commerce website. But what began as a simple ask quickly turned into something much more beautiful, and a powerful driver of business growth.

We carved out an ownable position and developed a brand story and book that touched all parts of the business, online and off. A modern, organic feel was established and what was once a group of stores and a dated website re-emerged as a modern, integrated brand.

EMT Innovations has been creating cutting edge home technology experiences for a long time. From design to installation and beyond. But communicating their vast experience and the endless possibilities they create is a difficult story to tell without losing the audience(s).

To serve a vast range of client and prospect needs, we set out to strike the right balance of elegance and execution, design and utility. A user experience that awakens the imagination of some, while quickly providing critical information to all visitors. Well, the wiring worked and all systems are go.

Being a placement firm, of any discipline, has its challenges. But add in the complexities inherent in work within Information Security, and Redbud was a client who needed to stand out by actively communicating a clear POV to realize its potential.

Research, interviews and intel gathering led us to the promised land. An elegant yet intuitive website that communicates value to two audiences at once, while establishing the authority (real and SEO) their prospects demand and the folks at Redbud have earned – and since parlayed.

Graham Elliot is an international celebrity chef and culinary visionary. So when he and his team came to us to build a web presence for their Graham Elliot Bistro concept (as we did for Graham Elliot and Grahamwich), of course we couldn’t wait to dig in.

The digital experience needed to be super easy to use, have amazing visual representations of their dishes and have enough flair to be interesting… without being over the top. A delicate balance of elements and a challenge we had a blast working on. What we served up together got rave reviews.
