DynaEnergtics // A Small Device Makes A Big Impact – DynaSelect

As a tactic in the larger DynaEnergetics brand roadmap – to raise awareness of the DynaSelect system, increase preference and consideration, and capture qualified leads for the sales team – ahead of the Road Tour activation, we implemented a B2B focused advertising campaign.

The print and digital campaign ran from June 2015 through 2016 in the following B2B publications, and had an extensive programmatic media component.

There were three creative deliverables that would be rolled out.

Product Focused

Pique interest among E&P and Wireline audiences with a different take on a product-centric ad.

DynaSelect - A Small Device Makes a Big Impact

Safety Milestone Highlight

Build on recent industry-qualified data which highlights the technology and safety milestones that DynaSelect has achieved.

There's a reason why DynaEnergetics has had over 250,000 perforating shots without a safety incident - DynaSelect

Total Cost of Operations

The last would be the complete system and the benefits that DynaEnergetics brought to each aspect of the well site.

In-Store Experience Retail Website Design Website Development

NAU Clothing – In-Store Buy Experience & Website

In 2007, Former NIKE executives decided to take a different approach to the clothing market and incorporate more sustainable practices. The effort was: NAU Clothing.

Like Amazon Prime, Brick & Mortar Integrated

It centered around a bold concept that customers would enter a brick-and-mortar store, try on clothing, assure correct fit, and then use a touch-screen kiosk (and barcode pieces) to purchase, but the clothing would arrive the next day via shipping.

They spent months thinking it through, working on the approach, and in the vital last few months of the experience, like many start-ups: ran into major snags.

We were called in, to architect and develop the in-store interfaces that customers would use to not just learn more about the product and how they were sustainably crafted but to complete their purchase. Anywhere in the store.

See donations in action where it’s needed the most.

Additionally, the website they had spent millions developing still didn’t work, and they hadn’t even begun work on the “Partners for Change – Giving Wall.”

At the end of each purchase, consumers were allowed to decide what non-profit their percentage contribution of the sale went to, and learn more about the effects their contribution would have.

Nau needed someone to come in and get things back on track, and on an aggressive timeline, and they reached out to what was one of the best digital shops in Portland in 2007: Opus Creative, where I was Senior Producer.

The team assembled, and we undertook three courses of action:

  • Debugging the existing website experience, which is integrated into their global supply chain ERP system. Buried in hundreds of thousands of lines of code, something was incorrect, and we had to find that needle in the haystack.
  • Begin IA and UX on the Partners for Change Giving Wall, and prepare the development team to complete it.
  • Start testing the scanning equipment that we would tie the Product Kiosk into, and develop an architecture that could handle the current product clothing offerings and accommodate all future seasonal product additions.

Seasonal Update Documentation.

The product scanning kiosk was driven by lightweight XML files, that would require manual updates from a central server. The documentation was straightforward and had an architecture that would accommodate many further expansions of the clothing line.

The three projects took a total of 8 weeks time from kick-off to completion.

Seen throughout this post are images I took at the launch of the flagship NAU clothing store at Bridgeport Village, in Oregon.

For me, it was a thrill to be utilizing all my skills, and passions: My coding experience from Kimber, the producing skills I had been taught at Opus Creative, and working in the fashion industry – if only tangentially.
