It has been a while since I posted on my blog, I will try not to bore you to tears with all of the stuff going on right now but I do have a few things that are worth mentioning.
Jennifer and I had our first child, Madeline Grace on January 31st 2008. You can see pictures of her on my myspace; (http://www.myspace.com/ryanharrell) and it is awesome. She looks just like me, at least that is what everyone tells me and my wife. But when people tell my wife this it is like they are telling her some bad news. They say, like jennifer I hate to tell you this but she looks just like her daddy. So i’m thinking sure I know im no Fabio but good lord I’m no Popeye Jones, do you have to be so blatant?
Also ARC Design my company has finished its first large branding campaign, sure we have completed branding campaigns for companies like Spell Construction and Highland Paving but a campaign for a county is huge. We worked closely with the Duplin County Tourism board to expand on a theme that they had created, “Uncork Duplin.” As you may or may not know Duplin county used to be a big tabacco county, but when people stopped smoking so much they had to do something with all those acres of land. So they started making wine, lots of it. Today it is the major draw to the county, however they are a lot of other things to do in this history rich small county in NC. ARC Design created the design and look for the campaign that covers billboards, booklets, brochures, businesscards, the website, the logo and letterhead. My hats off to my design team, very nice job guys.
With over 45 projects on our wall ARC Design is very busy. We have had a very busy two months and with more work we need more help. We have added 4 new faces to ARC Design over the past few months, two web designers, a project manager and an assistant. Things are starting to work like clockwork and we have gotten our turnaround time down, which was in the the 4-5 month range to the 2-4 range. I am interested to see how we would rank compared to other agencies our size. I know we are the largest in the area by far but maybe on a state level how effecient we are, so I have been trying to track things like turnaround time on sites, customer contact and other cool things that I think would help ARC. If you are not continually trying to get better at what you do and how you do it then someone is going to come along and do what you do better and that’s how you get left behind. ARC will always strive to be one step ahead of everyone else, hopefully this will help.
That’s all I have for now.
