Cooper Smith & Company

A little sneak peek of something exciting we’ve been working on…can you guess what it is?!

From all of us, to all of you, thank you for making this year worth celebrating. We wish you tidings of comfort and joy this holiday season. To spread some joy, we’ve made seasonal phone wallpapers and shared them in our story! Screenshot and use them to add some comfort and joy to your world.

In addition to ERSRI's website, we created a new logo that represents the organization in a professional matter while remaining modern and fresh. Did you know that Rhode Island is referred to as the coastal state? We made sure to keep that in mind when incorporating a hint of the ocean into their logo through a wave and a minimal blue gradient. If you ever catch a glimpse of a Rhode Island license plate, you'll be able to notice a subtle similarity.

The Employee's Retirement System of Rhode Island worked with us to create a modernized website with improved user experience and navigation while showing off the beautiful state of Rhode Island. We're so excited to share it with the public! Visit ersri.org to check it out!

Here's a sneak peek at some cover options designed for Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division's 2022 Annual Report. We can't wait to reveal the final report at the end of this month!

Recently, we helped Steven Strooh rebrand his business, Strooh Consulting Services, which provides insight and guidance on wide format printing to individuals and companies. The crop marks in the "t" allude to the printing industry and create a pattern for backgrounds as well as a logo mark.

Help us give a warm welcome to our new project manager, Anna Elvig, to the Cooper Smith & Company team! We are SO lucky to have her organizational skills and bubbly personality in the office. Not to mention, we love catching glimpses of her Maine C**n cat, Keith, on Friday afternoon Zoom calls! We're so happy to have you here, Anna!

It’s not too late to say Happy Halloween, right? Take a look at our recent Halloween themed self-promo…we’ve got our eye on you! Our mailer even came with a monster themed target practice and squishy eyes to throw as ammo. Our clients, and others, loved playing the game!

Happy Halloween! Using our “Mentor Pour,” we guide you in your marketing step by step.

We’re getting tired of scraping frost off our car in the morning, so we’re reminding ourselves of the warmer weather that’s ahead by taking a look back at a poster series we created for the ! This series may be 10 years old, but the design is still fresh, modern, and timeless–at Cooper Smith & Company, that’s what we do best. Our top priority is providing our clients with marketing materials that will withstand the test of time, won’t look outdated, and be a solid investment for you, your business, and your wallet.

It’s live! Recently, we redesigned the Fort Bend County, Texas website and it is now public for everyone to see! Cooper Smith & Company worked to improve the website’s navigational structure, content management, design, and overall user experience. As a result, the website has a modern and professional appearance with complete ADA compliance. Plus, users have the ability to access information efficiently and timely without getting frustrated.

Tomorrow at 8AM, Sally Cooper Smith will be joining 1 Million Cups Des Moines to speak at Gravitate Downtown over the topic: Marketing tips to help you navigate this “new normal.”

This past weekend, Cooper Smith & Co. attended the American Advertising Awards and took home silver in Self Promotion for our Valentine’s Day mailer! Thank you so much , we had a wonderful time celebrating with fellow creatives!

Today we're sharing a of the brand refresh we created for Adamantine Yoga – a revolutionary new style of yoga.

Starting with a new logo and a detailed practice manual including custom photography, the Adamantine® brand projects the strength and precision of the yoga style itself. From there, we expanded the brand to include signage, studio decor, and print advertising. The new brand and logo went over well—one practitioner even fashioned a pair of earrings with the new logo!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Head down to The Des Moines Playhouse to catch "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!" Cooper Smith & Company worked with The Playhouse to develop and create the graphics for this show, and all their shows! It's always a joy to see the design and talent come together to produce some wonderful shows.

Today we're taking a look back at one of our favorite campaigns from 2021 we did for The Des Moines Playhouse.

The Playhouse asked Cooper Smith to help to promote their Fall 2021 theatre opportunities while also encouraging new people to sign up. We worked hard to develop a campaign that showcases a diverse and talented community coming together to produce wonderful shows for their community. After all, that is what the Playhouse is all about. The idea that someone you know casually at work is also good at singing is what inspired the tagline "ordinary people, extraordinary theatre." This campaign included digital ads, handouts, direct mail, and everything in-between!

Happy New Year, everyone! Cooper Smith & Company had a memorable year in 2021 with a lot of growth, change, and creation. The future looks bright – we can't to see what it has in store for us!
