It’s not everyday that a company is tasked with creating a website for a product that launches a giant net out of a flashlight-size baton — unless you’re Dave Newman Advertsing.
One of our clients, Advanced Weapon Technology had a short order: showcase their Talon net gun, add some videos and distribute the content across the internet.
The final product is a website with many “Youtube” friendly videos and RSS feeds to over 60 sites for pickup of the clients message.
Yes, the Talon really is that cool.

At Dave Newman Advertising (DNA), it is our custom to begin each client relationship by setting down our understanding of the client’s situation – history, objectives, needs, challenges and so forth. We find it contributes to establishing the clarity so essential to marketing in today’s cluttered environment. From this foundation we then develop an initial strategy and action plan. The present paper does not – indeed, at this stage it can not – present specific advertising or promotional materials, which will emerge only from the schema we develop after in-depth discussions with you. It is pointless to propose specific campaign tactics, ads or media plans without further consultation to learn the inside story of your company’s specific goals, challenges and marketing issues. But we can present some general information about our approach to the advertising and marketing process.
First, we believe in teamwork – and the client is an important part of the team! We don’t care where an idea comes from, as long as it works. Our collective experience in a wide range of marketplace situations has taught us the importance of listening – to one another, to outside associates and above all, to our clients. Ad agencies are notorious for rivalry among internal job functions. It often seems that Research, Account Services, Media and Creative are competing with one another! Not so at Dave Newman Advertising. In our view, “creative” isn’t a department. It’s an attitude we bring into every aspect of our work. Put simply, we really do collaborate. Read more »

Consider today’s advertising and sales environment. There are more media vehicles than ever before – broadcast, print, internet and out-of-home (including point of sale). Consumers have more choices, and more power to choose than ever before, thanks to web browsers.
The challenge today is for brands to punch through the clutter, with a brand message that bolster the brand’s chance to sell and ultimately develop a competitive edge. And how is that brand message conveyed?
Through good, brand-relevant graphics.
The first line of defense is the visual dimension. Good graphic design is the “advance guard” of any brand. It’s what the public sees first, and remembers last, about the brand. Good graphic design leverages a brand’s good points to best advantage. (It’s hard to imagine a case where good design ever hindered a brand’s market position!)
Wise marketers take this into account. And wise design studios take brand equity issues into account. Working together, they stand a good chance of succeeding.

When a major drug-store chain approached one of DNA’s established clients about creating a line of massage lotions for their customers — the client and DNA went all-hands-on-deck.
Creating a modern look to an existing product was routine for the team of designers at Dave Newman Advertising — we’ve been in packaging design since 1996.
Taking existing packaging and merging them with a direct reflection of the potential consumer’s trends and buying history lead to an increase in sales for our client at not just this drug-store chain but across their entire customer base.
With forward-thinking design and an open client, two hands really are better than one.

DNA and our client, Fulham, has just won a Best of Show Award for their booth at the International Light Fair exhibition.
Beating out well-known names such as General Electric, Phillips and others, the Fulham booth was chosen for its ease of access, information utility, overall appearance, knowledgeable staff, and relevance to the overall theme of Light Fair 2009. A little bit of DNA creativity and a some hard work on the details made quite an impression on the attendees to the exhibition.
The booth compromised of 3 sections measuring 20′x30′, 20′x40′ and 20′x50′ that gave Fulham over 2400 square feet of exhibit space that DNA created, designed and engineered — all in 2 months time, quite a feat!
Congratulations to Fulham and the team at DNA.
