Hey folks! It's summer in Athens and everybody here at Eden Marketing is feeling completely unstoppable. We're working on lots of new projects and we're excited about the many opportunities knockin' at the door!

Where to start? First up, meet our new friends at the Actors Connection. The Actors Connection is an outfit out of New York City (with an additional branch in Los Angeles) that help aspiring actors and performers find their niche. They offer guidance, classes, seminars, training, introductions to powerful people, and materials to help you find your way. Tony Nation and Lisa Gold are our latest VIP's!

I may be wrong about this, but in our little town of Athens, Ohio there are really just two major website design (and IT) firms, Eden Marketing and Media Brite, not including of course the slew of solo freelancers and college students.

Media Brite graciously took the kids from Eden out to lunch recently and informed us they are closing up shop, and hope to transition many of their current clients over to Eden. What can we say? We are totally honored and flattered. When pressed for a reason why we were chosen to manage their roster of work, the good folks at Media Brite indicated that it is because Eden Marketing is a survivor, and they know us well enough to know we will take each clients need to heart, not treat them like cattle. We appreciate the trust and confidence of our friends at Media Brite in Athens, Ohio, and welcome their clientele as trusted friends.

Need a logo? We'll hook you up! Check out what we did for Bricks without Straw out of Charleston, W. Va. Not only a logo design, but three totally unique angels to choose from and tweak. Challenge the artists at Eden Marketing to match your vision and raise you five.

Eden Marketing would like to welcome our newest Graphic Designer John Sullivan to the crew! John is a lifelong friend of Eden, and brings some serious talent and experience to the table.

We recently updated and modernized Jack Casady's website. See this amazing bassist (and legend beyond description) and see if you can spot the photo on his site of him actually performing with Jimi Hendrix!

O'Nail Hartman Insurance of Athens, Ohio is the place for all your retail insurance needs. Eden Marketing was proud to hook Brent (Hartman) up with the good stuff, launched in July, 2008.

Our good friend Vincent Simmons is an entrepreneur of formidable skill, and recently launched two retail sites through Eden Marketing... ProStructionUSA.com and eMattressOutlet.com, check them out and order you next mattress from the man who knows comfort.

Finally, Eden Marketing got to build a BILLBOARD! We are so psyched it's not even funny. Within a week or so, those driving from Columbus (Ohio) to Charleston (W. Va.) will pass the mind blowing work of Eden designer Beth Flick as the billboard just out of Athens scream "Eat Avalanche Pizza, it's the good stuff."

Thanks all! Enjoy the sunshine and see you at the Boogie on the Bricks concert. Check out the Royales at 9 pm, I hear they have some game. ;)
