Center City SIPS Banner Ad Campaign 2009

Vance Bell — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:17:40 +0000

Given the weather today I can almost believe it’s summer—and once again Center City District is planning their SIPS Happy Hour events. From June 3rd through August 26th, 2009 participating bars and restaurants throughout Center City, Philadelphia will be offering summer drink and food specials.

Every summer the Center City District promotes these events through regional publications and websites, such as Philly.com and Philly2Nite.com. This banner ad campaign was designed in the visual style of the events’ print advertisements to form the final piece of unified media campaign.

So, support your local establishments and take advantage of this great way to enjoy your summer. If you see me walking back to my table with a curacao margarita shaker, feel free to say “Hello!”

It’s almost Summer again! The Center City District is organizing a series of Sips Happy Hours June through August for thirsty downtown Philadelphians—great happy hour deals at participating bars and restaurants throughout Center City.

Center City District markets these events through regional publications and websites, such as Philly.com, Philly2Nite, Philadelphia Weekly and WISQ. This set of banner ads will support the Sips Happy Hour and get the word out to Philadelphians. Each graphic was designed in the visual style of the events’ print advertisements and other collateral to form the final piece of unified campaign across all media.

A cold drink with friends on a hot Summer’s day is a nice thing! Maybe I will see you there!

Center City District organizes great events in Center City, Philadelphia. This time it’s the April Gallery Night. Spend the evening of Friday, April 18th exploring Center City District’s galleries with special exhibitions and complimentary cocktail receptions from 5-8:30 pm. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see Philadelphia culture in action.

I was happy to support Center City District’s online marketing of this event by designing a set of banner ads for use on regional event and media websites. Each banner ad or header graphic was designed in the visual style of the event’s print advertisements and other collateral yielding a unified campaign across all media.

Hope to see you there!

Center City District Restaurant Week 2008 Banner Ads

For many years Center City District has organized the Center City District Restaurant Week event where participating Center City restaurants offer a “price fixed” multiple course meals to their patrons. It is a great chance to try out those new restaurants you’ve been thinking about. I usually get to a couple every Restaurant Week.

I’ve worked projects with the communications team at Center City District over the last five years (including leading them through three complete redesigns of their Web site). Recently, while working with SoftOrigins I completed a series of banner ads to support the 2008 Restaurant Week event. Although banner advertising has undergone evolution over the years, it is still an effective way to promote an event, Web site, or special offer. All banner ads where designed to work with the event’s print advertisements and other collateral.
