As a designer at a digital marketing agency, I love what I do. But sometimes I find myself stuck and unmotivated. Here are some tips and tricks that give me the boost I need when things get stale.

1. Reward Yourself
As designers, we often have a long list of things that need to be done by the end of our day. Some are small. Some are, quite frankly, scary. My advice here is to make a list and make sure every time you scratch something off, you give yourself a reward. It could be candy or maybe a funny cat video on YouTube. Reward yourself. (I know I will be after I finish writing this.) (more…)

We’ve been helping Capital One with corporate identity and brand building for a few years now, along with digital strategy and traditional advertising concepts. It started with our design of the Capital One Cup, and since then we’ve been engaged in developing the branding and strategy for some of their new products and services.

For this latest project, Capital One asked us to create a print campaign to drive awareness for their official partnership with the NCAA® and sponsorship of the Academic All-America Team. They specifically wanted to highlight how difficult it is to excel in both athletics and academics, and that is why earning a spot on the Academic All-America Team is such a great honor.

For this one, we focused on the academic dedication of student-athletes, even though they have a very active extracurricular schedule.

This was one of those simple print projects you love as an advertising and design agency, especially to complement all the digital work we’ve been doing.

Let us know what you think by adding a comment and be sure to check out our other branding and advertising work.

The St. Louis Businss journal said of it last year when we launched the thing: 

"Those Wacky Moosylvanians: Norty Cohen and his gang at Moosylvania Marketing have come up with an
agency pitch that makes fun of agency pitches. Cohen, whose firm
projects revenue north of $12 million this year, calls it "a fun time
waster for marketers sick of the daily pitches." It's an online game
based on old-school gaming techniques, and you can find it at moosylvasion.com."

This service, Slydial, that lets you go straigt to anyone's voice mail seems a little sneaky to me, but could come in handy sometimes? Yes.
