Asayo Creative would like to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to our friends, family, clients and everyone else who made this year's WalkMS Bridgeport, WalkMS Morgantown and RunMS Morgantown 5K events even more memorable than last year's!

At Asayo, we were extremely honored to be able to coordinate an event of this caliber and are incredibly pleased and humbled by the turnout.

Be sure to view video below, shot by Asayo Media's Chris Clutter. As 2013 continues and draws to a close, be sure to check the site frequently for news and information on our 2014 event!

Black Diamond Equipment Rental has bulldozed its way into the Marcellus/Utica shale industrial market in 2013 with a marketing blitz and branding campaign, accompanied by the concepts, designs and promotions provied by Asayo Creative.

An aggressive company primed to hit the ground running, Black Diamond's scope and goals for the future include projects and campaigns that run the full breadth of Asayo's services, from vehicle graphics to promotional items to logo and brochure design and more, all of which will be capped-off by an cutting-edge website.

Look for Black Diamond to be, well...everywhere you look in 2013. From branded vehicles to equipment decals all over the region, it will be hard to go anywhere this year without seeing the Black Diamond brand.

A new year brings new projects, new events and in Asayo's case, even more additions to our growing clientele. Some of our new clients are working with an established brand that just needs a "refresher", while others have reached out to Asayo to build the brand from the ground up, starting with a new logo. The logos below are examples of just a few of the companies for whom we've recently developed new (or re-designed) logos.

Asayo Creative is pleased to announce that trucking and logistics powerhouse Smith Transport is working with our team to develop a new website for Smith's Well Services Division. Smith is one of America's leasing trucking and logistics companies, and with its Well Services Division, they hope to become a trusted name and leader in energy transportation, in addition to the many and varied services offered by their other divisions. Look for the new Smith Transport Well Services Division site to launch in the coming weeks!

Clear Mountain Bank recently launched two separate campaigns, capping off one of its busiest summers to date. In August, the bank opened a new branch in the Suncrest section of Morgantown, giving its business bankers a more convenient location as well as local 24 hour ATM. Simultaneously, Clear Mountain Bank also unveiled their much anticipated Mobile Banking App to its customers. The response on both campaigns exceeded expectations and both Mobile Banking and the new location are now in full swing.

Take that to the bank.

MCI Group recently partnered with Asayo to create an online presence that emphasized their family of companies, vast amount of experience and industry knowledge. The site allows you to navigate throughout any of the four companies that make up MCI Group, including Preston Contractors, Mountaineer Contractors, Everson Resources, and Kittanning Contractors. The site utilizes a combination of onsite photography, project detail, and copy information to ensure the site is as informative as it is visual. In addition, Asayo provided a series of billboard artwork to promote the website.

Asayo Creative is pleased to announce the launch of its digital division — Asayo Media. The newest addition allowed long-time friend and colleague, Chris Clutter, to merge his company, Cluttered Concepts, to combine his services and capabilities to the Asayo arsenal. Asayo Media will specialize in commercial photography and video production with an emphasis on Brand Films.

The merger was another step in being able to meet the demands of our clients and continue to offer our bold, creative services to enhance both our clients brand and online experience. Branding Films are the next wave in your online experience and can not only enhance your viewership, but generate traffic through media channels never before utilized.

With the recent news and increased business activity in Eastern Ohio, Asayo Creative has been invited to participate in a couple business to business seminars focused on shaping your business for the oil and gas industry. The two events, in St. Clairsville and Canton, Ohio, present a variety of business presentations hitting the main points for understanding the industry boom. Regardless of your beliefs, the Marcellus and Utica Shale offer tremendous business potential in the region, but companies must adapt to the standards and values required to do business. Asayo's president Damian Ferek discusses "Getting Noticed and Making Sales" with his 45 minute presentation that features a variety of key marketing elements and relevant case studies. The seminars are in conjunction with Shale Directories and the Ohio Oil and Gas Association ( OOGA) along with the St. Clairsville and Canton Chamber of Commerce. Asayo has had the opportunity to speak throughout the Tri-State region, helping attendees learn about the value of marketing and consistency.

Asayo Creative is never shy about getting involved and helping with the community. We have worked directly with several great causes in the region including Children's Hospital, Strides Breast Cancer Walk, Hurry Home Hounds Greyhound Rescue, Warm Hearts-Warm People, and March of Dimes to mention a few. This year, we are taking it a step further as Asayo's Damian Ferek and Kim Johnson are volunteering to coordinating the Walk MS Fairmont in conjunction with the MS Society.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic and unpredictable disease that effects the central nervous system. Approximately 400,000 American's suffer from MS, including Damian's father, who was diagnosed in 1991.

Please join us on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at Charles Point in Bridgeport, West Virginia as we both raise the awareness and help fund cutting-edge research to cure MS. You can learn more about the event at www.WalkMSFairmont.com or by calling the Asayo Creative office at 304.413.0100. We look forward to seeing everyone there, and thank both our local and national sponsors for helping to make the event a possibility.

Central Pennsylvania powerhouse Allegheny Trucks contacted Asayo Creative to create a new brand identity for 2012. Allegheny Trucks, who has evolved into a complete one-stop-shop for commercial trucking was looking for their first online presence in addition to a more fitting logo and print collateral. Founded in 1978, they are an authorized International Trucks dealer and service shop, but can also offer body shop services, towing, parts and tires. Wanting to focus their brand on their traditional royal blue color scheme, Asayo helped provide a more unified sales approach with their oversized sales kit, vehicle wraps and online presence. Be sure to check out their website at www.AlleghenyTrucksPA.com, or stop in and visit their facility in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
