Firm Debuts Client Projects from Krikorian Premiere Theatres & KSBR
(Laguna Hills, CA) - June 8, 2005) – Following a year of record growth and moving forward with their exemplary creative team, award-winning design firm Big Man Creative announced today a company name change to FrontGatesm Creative, and is pleased to announce the renewal of their relationship with Del Taco, the second largest Mexican fast food chain in the United States.
In the five years of serving Del Taco, FrontGate Creative’s work has been rewarded with a Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.
“Scott Shuford and his staff have really helped us stretch beyond the typical corporate look of most restaurant sites,” says Joe Senger, Vice President of Marketing for Del Taco. “Their creative design has helped us not only provide detailed information to our consumers, but also cutting edge entertainment that puts our brand a notch above our competitors.” The newly-named FrontGate Creative will continue to serve as a one-stop creative shop for national and Orange County-based, market-leading companies in need of targeted and creative branding via print media and on the Internet. According to President Scott A. Shuford, the new name better reflects the company's creative philosophy and role as a provider of fully integrated print media and web development solutions.
“FrontGate Creative is service-centric rather than project-centric,” explains Shuford. “We are the gateway between our client and their unique target audiences. Our mission is to serve each client individually by grafting seamlessly in as an integrated part of their marketing team. It’s our job to help them achieve their goals for the business as a whole, not just to complete a project. Our diverse client list is a testimony to our ability to achieve this deeply complex level of service.” A tangible testimony to the firm’s success in achieving its mission comes from Del Taco. Other clients are quick to offer their praises as well…
“The efforts of Scott and his team have gone above and beyond my expectations and Scott has personally seen to it that our new web site is better than we ever hoped for. Thank you for your efforts and know that we will highly recommend FrontGate Creative to anyone that asks.” - Randall Blaum, Krikorian Premiere Theatres project, Marketing Experts International
“Excellent quality work at an affordable price. This team gets it!!!...and delivers results.” - Brett Werner, Director of Marketing Communications, Lantronix
"FrontGate Creative's talented staff was able to turn our vision into a very effective reality. After having worked with the same agency for years, I was a little leery about using another creative firm for such a big promotion. FrontGate Creative maintained our traditional look and feel, but livened up the appearance for a very successful presentation. With the help of FrontGate Creative, American First Credit Union exceeded its loan goals." - Ryan Zilker, Marketing Manager of American First Credit Union.
“We look forward to every project that gives us an opportunity to work with FrontGate Creative because it gives us a chance to see what new and creative things they will come up with! While they have an acute eye for detail, they never lose sight of the overall strategic plan for the organization. Best of all, they are really nice people, even when we throw things at them at the last minute with a very tight deadline.” - Terry Wedel, Operations Director, KSBR-FM
"As an emerging designer brand, my company required cutting edge graphic content blended with unlimited back-end and architecture options to represent our creative advantage as well as our professional acumen. FrontGate Creative delivered all that I requested and more. The team understood how to adopt my creative aesthetic and deliver an online representation of the attitude, positioning and quality of the product Initium is becoming known for in the marketplace. Our website has become a virtual sales team for my brand and has opened doors and distribution for us worldwide. In addition, you get to deal with good people who always make you feel as though they share your sense of urgency and desire to over-achieve." - Darin Dennee, Founder/President/Designer, Initium Eyewear, LLC
With the reputation of being a leader in the aggressive marketplace of Orange County, California, Shuford was interviewed for a recent feature for the Orange County Business Journal. The article, which ran in the May 30th issue, focused on the changing trends in the print and design industry and Shuford shared insight alongside executives from Juxt Interactive, Westamerica Graphics and several other top firms.
FrontGate Creative recently debuted a complete re-presentation of Krikorian Premiere Theaters including a minor update of their logo, the redesign of all tickets and passes, new identity elements including a presentation folder (which was the only creative work from any firm to be featured in the Orange County Business Journal article,) and a new web site that can be viewed at www.kptmovies.com.
Celebrating 26 years of jazz, KSBR’s 2005 Birthday Bash Fundraiser featured the third year of services from FrontGate Creative, which created all of the print media elements for the event, including advertising, sponsorship kits, and the event program.
