social media to help a

shows by all those who
show up and wait in line
for their delicious food!”

amount of digital work,

timeline with minimal funds.

“We overcame the hurdle
of separating ShortStack
from its competition after
the initial momentum of
the launch. The expert
positioning constantly kept
them in the spotlight and
branded them as more
than just developers.
Customers put trust in
ShortStack and its products
because they were so
accredited on the web.”

on line was
phenomenal. Big

By simplifying the
message over the last
three months, this
seems to have resonated
among our audience.

with simple, yet elegant
copy that gets to the
heart of the message.

“We definitely produced a
solid ROI for the campaign
and with a fun set of
messaging. We were able to
reach a strategic target
audience effectively. The
only real hurdle was how to
get people to pay attention
to the message of pedestrian
safety that they had heard a
hundred times before - but
we think we pulled it off
with the creative execution.”

again boosting our
