Brand Spanking New Client Work
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What's a "Green Exchange"? A name for a new bank? It isn't, but our client Baum Realty Group is banking on the fact that many businesses will be looking to establish environmentally responsible business models in 2007. Accordingly, Baum is converting the historic Cooper Lamp building on Chicago's northwest side into the city's first "green" office building and community.

Torque was brought on to name brand (see above) and market the building. We built a web site (coming soon) and other initial sales collateral items for Baum.

Holiday Studio Happenings

All the revelers at our holiday party at the Goose Island Brewpub in December got their fair share of beer. One guest got a little more, by winning our holiday giveaway contest. Actually, it was a whole lot more. The winner, Mary Karson of C2 Media, won her weight in Goose Island's 312 Urban Wheat Ale.

Warren John of the Prime Group won the second place prize, a spiffy BuiltNY™ six bottle BYOB bag filled with . . . you guessed it, beer. To be exact, one bottle each of Goose Island's sought-after reserve beers and a bottle of Goose Island Christmas Ale.

Congratulations to Mary and Warren, and thanks to everyone who celebrated with us at this year's holiday party. We look forward to seeing all our friends again next year for another hoppy hoiiday.
