'Tis the Season

The Focal Point staff loves the holidays, and showed our enthusiasm in the last couple of weeks when putting together our Holiday Party video. Here are a couple of shots while we filmed, as well as us just getting ready for the season in general.

Holiday Party!

That's right, we said presents!

Portland Marathon, No Problem

Theresa recently completed the Portland Marathon with her Daughter Katie. They're shown here in the photo (in pink) shortly after the finish. An avid runner, Theresa is no stranger to marathons, she has ran in more than a dozen marathons throughout the Pacific Northwest, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Residential Photo Shoot

The staff at Focal Point has been quite busy during the whole month of October, particularly on a couple of websites for local construction companies. In this snapshot, Mitch is hard at work on one of the many photo shoots we completed, getting shots on location at River View Pointe, a neo-traditional community in South Richland.

Pacific Crest banner

After recently providing Pacific Crest with a logo refresh, we developed this handy banner stand for them to use at tradeshows, seminars, meetings and other events to help market themselves - as well as publicize their new-look logo.

Introducing Terry Carter

Without further ado, we'd like to introduce Terry Carter, the newest addition to the Focal Point team. Terry's education spans the country, literally, having earned her BFA from Central Washington University after a year-long stint at Hunter College in New York.

Terry is fascinated with technology and it’s role in the creative process, dabbling with computer illustration and honing her graphic design skills. She has experience with illustration, print design, advertising, advanced photo retouching, motion graphics for television productions as well as Flash and web design.

Our clients are going to benefit from her attention to detail, charismatic energy, and her unique creative perspective. Terry is a great addition to the Focal Point family, and we're excited to have her on board.

Cooking up an iPad App, no seriously

Mitch has been hard at work the last few weeks shooting hours and hours of footage and editing it all together to make recipe videos that will be featured on "TheInformedChef" iPad & iPhone application. He's worked with a few regionally and nationally recognized chefs, and will be featured in the next issue of the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business.

FPM Creates Ad for Fortune Magazine

Focal Point Marketing recently designed an ad featured in the September 6, 2010 issue of Fortune Magazine. The ad was made possible by TRIDEC and the Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau, as well as the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland. The ad promoted the Tri-Cities as a booming place for energy, technology, recreation and leisure. It was placed in the middle of an advertorial about Washington state's innovative economic development, and talks in length about how the Tri-Cities specifically contributes in big ways.
