The new website for Northwest Church planting is live. We plan to add on a couple more things in phase two but most of the site is complete. The site features a grid homepage that draws attention to key areas of the site that reach their different target audiences. We helped develop their digital strategy from the ground up and are helping them carry it out with custom photo-shoots and interactive tools that will help this non-profit communicate their value, impact, & service.

2 Brothers Website Launched
We just launched the newly branded website for 2 Brothers Moving & Delivery. The website features a Responsive design that works seemlessly on multiple devices including PC, Tablet, & Mobile. The site is complete with custom designed pages and interactive widgets that communicate the value of the company and its services. The site is friendly, thoughtful, easy to use, and an ode to Portland that will resonate with the company's audience and draw them into to the great service that 2 Brothers offers.

2 Brothers Awarded Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies in Oregon
Congratulations to 2 Brothers Moving for being awarded one of the top 100 fastest-growing privately held companies in Oregon! (Portland Business Journal - Recipient List). Bravo!
2 Brothers is a stellar example of how intentional branding creates a platform for helping companies grow and succeed. Owner Adam Sweet has partnered with Relevant Studios to provide design and brand management since he launched 2 Brothers back in 2007. As we continue to evolve the brand together, we will help position 2 Brothers for continued growth and success.
Branding isn't the only thing to blame for the company's success (as much as we'd like to take credit). Adam is a visionary that has done an amazing job ensuring that 2 Brothers truly serves its customers in a professional, friendly, and authentic way. That approach is what makes branding for small businesses so powerful.
Adam has always been great at handing us his ideas and letting us come back with creative solutions that exceed his expectations. We pay close attention to his goals, and in turn he trusts us to help him make decisions that influence his brand. This collaborative process helps us articulate and share his vision with Portland customers!
We're excited to be working with 2 Brothers and to see what's next for this small company with big ideas.

We Miss Jedd
Just a little plug here. This is Jedd loving his Zenni glasses. Jedd (who is on Sabbatical in Jamaica for Peace Corps) bought a pair of Zenni's before he left and loves them.
We miss you Jedd!!! We wish we could clone you (like we did in Photoshop). ;-)
...And no, we were not just goofing around here. We were scouting locations for an upcoming photo-shoot for Zenni Optical. More to come on that soon...
Warm Wishes, Seasons Greetings, and A Big Thank-you
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at Relevant Studios. We're very grateful for the relationships we have with our friends, family, clients, and fans. Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to good things to come in the new year.

Website Refresh for One with Heart Launches
As part of our Brand Management Partnership with One With Heart, we allocated a good portion of their initial budget towards upgrading their website.
