On June 15, 2011, Lynda Steele and her team from CTV came by the office to interview our President Michael Grant to talk about QR codes. He made the excellent point that QR codes are a terrific tool for 1on1 marketing, as they don’t inundate the customers with advertising, but rather provide the choice to engage. Our animation What’s in a QR code, developed by our multimedia team under the direction of Delma Baluyot was shown in full length. The show was aired on Monday, July 18 as part of the 6PM news. Should you have missed it, you can watch it here. Our segment starts at around 1:53.

Say hi to YouTube

We have discovered over the last little while, that motion attracts exponentially more viewers than simple static marketing pieces. So it wasn’t too far fetched for us to begin incorporating animations and videos into our own and our client’s print and web campaigns. We truly believe that the power lies in the combination of the static with the dynamic.

Lucky for us, we have Delma Baluyot, an immensely talented animator on our team. She was thrilled to get her (animator) hands wet again. Equipped with the newest version of Adobe After Effecst, she got down to work.

Watch the first fruit of her labour, a wonderful and engaging piece that introduces customers to QR Codes.

And since Delma and her team are already working on the second animation, we decided to create our own YouTube channel. Check it out here!

How to use a QR Code.

They have been around since the 90s, but not until recently have they found the wide acceptance they enjoy today. With the steady adoption of smart phones, QR codes have become the hottest new thing in marketing. Interestingly, the major demographic for using QR codes is by people in the 35-44 age group. As this report from Mobio states.

Our multimedia team is diligently working on best practices for QR code campaigns. Our clients include realtors, car sharing service provider, restaurant chains, and educational institutions. Here are a few of our findings:

Stay in the mobile sphere
Be bold, – users expect an experience, not just a link
Optimize your web link for mobile!
Motion works best, – videos or animations offer the best ROI

And most important of all – Add value to the customer.
