Trinity Partners is a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in North Carolina’s largest metro markets. Wanting to update their look and feel, Trinity Partners asked us to design and develop a new web presence greater reflecting who they are and what sets them apart. With that in mind, our design direction largely focused on Trinity’s hands-on approach, visionary thinking and talented people – all crucial elements to capturing the Trinity experience for users.

Given that commercial real estate websites tend to be overly complicated and confusing, we made functionality a top priority when it came to designing and developing the site. Tailored to Trinity Partners’ targeted clients, the site’s navigation enables users to browse by market, category, service or team member to quickly and easily find the information they need. Putting the firm’s culture front and center, the homepage features photos and copy that the give viewer an up-close and personal look at Trinity. With visually appealing design, clever copy and effective content strategy, the new site illustrates Trinity’s ability to not only arrive at the best solutions, but also how they find the best way of getting there.

Working with Woodbine, we developed an engaging microsite to promote a revolutionary, new HiDensi-T T-shirt collection by JERZEES. The remarkable fabric is known for producing alluringly realistic images. To illustrate just how lifelike designs can appear, we developed an animation depicting moths drawn to a glowing lightbulb. As the moths increase in number, fluttering toward the lightbulb, we zoom out and realize the lightbulb is actually printed on a HiDensi-T shirt. Standing out from the competition, our playful animation and microsite highlights the difference of JERZEES.

Giving participants the creative freedom to customize their own race car, gesture-control allows users to browse through and select among a variety of artfully designed 3D-modeled cars, wheels, engines, spoilers and more. Once their vision is complete, participants can email their tricked out car as a takeaway.

Looking to stand out at the IAAPA trade show, Electrosonic asked us to create a crowd-pleasing interactive experience for their booth. Inspired by Electosonic’s World War II museum exhibit, we created a gesture-based WWII learning experience utilizing the Xbox Kinect.

Implementing animation, narrative storytelling, motion graphics, technical creative and more, we developed an interactive timeline spanning six historic moments in WWII. From the invasion of Poland to the Battle of Britain and Hiroshima - gesture control allows visitors to navigate through WWII and select historic moments of interest. Once a key moment is chosen, visitors are presented with a collage of selectable items that give further insight by way of  actual footage and photography and descriptive facts. Our engaging, innovative and beautifully designed experience facilitates powerful connections with the wave of a hand.

The Challenge

Pelton & Crane, one of the leading dental manufacturers, began to think about adapting and expanding for the future. Looking to grow in product sales, managing relationships, and building brand advocacy, they came to us for a strategic digital solution.

The Approach

Starting from the ground up, we began with insightful research and observation to better understand all the variants of our client’s situation. We then determined the best course of action was to reposition Pelton & Crane’s role from one of sales to a consultive role. To execute this strategy, we designed and developed inView, a business planning tool for dentists starting a practice. The site features a plethora of proprietary business tools and resources to keep projects on tract every step of the way.

The Results

inView successfully allows Pelton & Crane to stay involved with potential clients and build brand equity as an innovative leader in the field. The results are increased net promoter scores, prospect retention, sales forecasting and planning, and stronger connections with net customers.
