Kiel Mortgage, a well-known and consistent radio advertiser for many years, has retained Ad Ventures to re-brand the company for a major marketing expansion. The re-branding includes identity development and launching a new website. Owner, Laura Kiel and the folks at Kiel Mortgage are just as down to earth and personable as they sound on the radio! Ad Ventures will bring their company personality to life by giving their website “voice.”

Ad Ventures is ranked #25 on the Puget Sound Business Journal list of top website design companies in the Puget Sound Area. Ad Ventures is also highly ranked in similar lists for Graphic Designers and Web Designers in the Media Inc. 2008 Master Lists edition.

Ad Ventures was one of six Puget Sound area companies selected by Washington Mutual to be showcased in WAMU’s small business advertising campaign. Ads featuring Ad Ventures ran on local radio stations, including KIRO and KOMO, and appeared in the Seattle Times, Seattle PI, Tacoma News Tribune, and Everett Herald. Washington Mutual Bank’s campaign focused on their niche of handling small business banking needs and helping promote the growth of small businesses. What better way to reinforce what they do well than by giving free ad space and air time to select local companies?

About the same time the new di Moda web site went live March 2008, so did the new homes as featured in this modern new home community website. Ad Ventures created a logo design, tagline and visual presence for the di Moda community with nothing more to view than a few home sketches and “dirt” when we first dug into this marketing venture six months ago. The web site innovatively brings to life these colorful homes, appealing to the 25 – 45 buyer with downtown condo taste, but without the pockets that normally afford that taste. The grand opening walk-through was quite the treat. “It is amazing how closely the actual completed homes mirror the home sketches as displayed in the di Moda website design,” said Karen Skeens, Ad Ventures’ web site project manager.
