Thanks SAA for having me out!
Dean & Deluca picks up three Columbus food brands!
So excited to report that national retailer of gourmet and specialty foods, Dean & Deluca just picked up three brands that we designed/redesigned over the past year: Brezel, Luna Burger, and Ganola. They will be featured in their retail stores and eventually on their website and upcoming catalogs in 2014!
Thanks to my creative partner, Christine Myers, who wrote all of the strategy, copy and creative briefs which all had significant impact on the design. These brands would not be what they are without her partnership. Thanks Chris!
Park Street Pizza photos
Last week I had the opportunity to hang with Rocky and Courntney Shanower, Owners of Park Street Pizza in Sugarcreek, Ohio, as we spent the day visiting local farmers and producers to shoot pictures for their upcoming website and branding (can't show you that yet but it's really exciting). It's no surprise we had a great time. Thanks to the crew at Park Street for allowing me to be in their way all day as I documented their work.
Speaking at SAA
I'm excited to be speaking to the students at the School of Advertising Arts next Wednesday. I visited there nearly 20 years ago while applying to schools and they were my top pick. I have a feeling a lot has changed since then. Can't wait to check it out and hang with the students for the afternoon.
Brezel at the North Market
This spring, I had the pleasure of working with Brittany Baum, owner of Brezel, to rebrand her amazing Bavarian pretzel bakery. It's been really fun to see her grow into a larger space at the North Market and take the time to work with me on a redesign of her shop. It turned out great! In order to keep the cost down, she did much of the prep work herself, painting the various surfaces, and helping me apply the vinyl to the counters, and signage. Her shop certainly stands out now and she gets loads of compliments from North Market customers and other vendors as well.
Cambodia trip video
As many of you know, we just returned from a three week, life-changing trip to visit our friends at an orphan home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Here's a short video of our time spent with the kids at Asia's Hope Prek Eng 2 children's home.

Help us make some Cambodian kids smile
Excitement is building within the Slagle household as we prepare to leave for Cambodia in May--just a bit over a month away! Our kids are wrapping up the school year and are learning about the Cambodian people and their history.
The primary purpose of our trip is to spend time with our extended church family: the staff and children of Asia's Hope Prek Eng 2 children's home—30 kids who can't wait for our visit. We have all of our travel plans and expenses covered but we really want to treat them to some special things while we are there. That's where you come in.
This is your opportunity, friends, clients, family, to treat orphans to a special meal, a trip to the zoo, a trip to the market to buy something special...
Please consider contributing some money to help us accomplish this task. 100% of the money we receive will be spent on the kids of PE 2. Let's show them how much Central Ohio really loves them. You may not be able to go yourself but any bit you can spare really adds up. The U.S. dollar still goes a long way in SE Asia.
To donate to our fund for the kids of PE 2 you can follow the link below. All gifts are tax deductible.
Join us on our adventure and follow our trip blog.
Thank you all so much!
