Advertising Age's Top Brands of the Year

A very diverse list of brands that have done quite well this year. I have heard-of and experienced most of them.  While I may not be a fan of all these brands, its difficult to argue their success.  Stand outs for me include:

1. Pabst Blue Ribbon(for sale!)
2. Tesla Motors
3. Jameson
4. and of course Snuggie

Read the full list on AdAge here, then come back and let me know your thoughts and favorite brands from the list.  Do you have some favorite local brands? Sound off in the comments.

Presenting BeauVanWinkle.com

I'm pleased to announce the launch of musician Beau Van Winkle's website. Beau and his band are a North Central Washington based group, with an original, acoustic rock sound. Their music is currently featured on social networking sites, but did not have a full presence on the web. With multiple CD's available and a loyal following in the region, Beau needed a virtual home for fans, venues and promoters. The site features a customized flash music player, calendar of upcoming shows and information on booking the band. Coming soon, CD's will also be available to purchase online.

If you're a musician looking for a fresh design for your next CD or website, let me know!

Latest web site: The Kitchen Sync

I'm pleased to announce the launch of www.thekitchensync.com.  The Kitchen Sync is located in historic downtown Wenatchee, WA and provides top notch products for your kitchen.  I was asked to create a site that captured the feel of the store and provide potential visitors with information on what they could expect.  The site is built with expandability in mind.  New pages and features such as a store photo gallery and a gift registry viewer are in the works for phase 2.  

Visit the website and stop by the Kitchen Sync in downtown Wenatchee.
