GiantSky launches website and blog for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia - a boutique center city hotel at www.theindependenthotel.com

Posted on Friday, June 27th, 2008

GiantSky is honored to launch the website for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia at www.theindependenthotel.com.

The Independent is a 24-room boutique hotel located in a fully restored Georgian-Revival building located at 1234 Locust Street in the vibrant Midtown Village area of Center City, Philadelphia. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Independent received an extensive renovation before opening its doors to discerning tourists and business travelers in June 2008.

GiantSky was selected by the Hersha Group to build a unique web presence that would create a high end and comfortable feel for its guests and the public.  We combined moulin and French cirque styles to develop a full flash website combined with a hotel blog to bring the Independent Hotel website website to life.  Over time, cute and quirky animations will decorate the site subtly, and give the visitors a feel of the comfort and ambiance the hotel has to offer.  GiantSky also presented the opportunity of a 30 foot mural to local artists to bring a dramatic lightwell in the hotel to life.  After carefully choosing amongst a fine selection of Philadelphia muralists, we selected Kim Senior (www.kimsenior.com) to bring her creative touch to the unique architecture.  The Independent mural was created.

GiantSky has created a blog for The Independent Hotel Philadelphia at www.theindependenthotel.com/philadelphia.  This blog provides the hotel with an invaluable tool to bring the best of local Philadelphia to its guests, and the public.  The Independent Hotel Blog also provides resources for tourists and guests to seek theatre shows or to plan their tours.

GiantSky launches eCommerce site for NeatSheets, innovative bed sheets with patented pockets.

Posted on Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

GiantSky, a Philadelphia based marketing and technology agency, is proud to announce the launch of NeatSheets.com, the eCommerce website for NeatSheets brand linens owned by Everest Linens LLC.

A linens’ company you ask?  Wait a minute, it’s not just any type of linens.  NeatSheets are sheet sets with patented pockets on the sides.  Patented Pockets?  What, you may ask, are the pockets used for?  Well, customers have used the pockets for everything, from reading glasses to remote controls, medicine to insulin injections, and even condoms and contraceptives.  Neatsheets also have other features that make them unique including a “smart tag” which lets you know details of the sheets while being folded, and extra deep fitted sheets to accommodate mattresses of any size.

GiantSky accepted the project because Neatsheets embodies a core principle within our company:  to bring innovation to life.  GiantSky worked closely with the Everest Linens executives to design an eCommerce site that portrayed both a high-end look, while clearly demonstrating the benefits of pocketed sheets.  GiantSky took the brand into the digital domain and worked with assets such as photographs and videos to bring “the established” look to NeatSheets.com.

Using the line: “What’s in your pocket?” we are able to generate a buzz and interactivity with customers.  Customers are able to write in with their uses for this patented pocket design.

Moreover, the client was looking for an eCommerce system that was exceptionally robust, reliable, and with features that would allow them to grow indefinitely, while being cost-effective.  GiantSky soft launched Neatsheets during the Christmas 2007 period, and is now gearing up for the “spring-cleaning” season.

Visit NeatSheets.com for more information.

GiantSky Rebrands Bonté Wafflerie and Café, a leading national café franchise

Posted on Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

GiantSky, a Philadelphia based marketing and technology agency, was selected by Bonté wafflerie & café to entirely rebrand the company as they embarked on their national franchising strategy, and as they diversified to offer catering services.

Bonté has a unique product: bruges waffles.  They are nothing less than delicious, and unlike American waffles, they are thick, sugar crusted and infused with white chocolate and fruit, or other “mix-ins”.  Bonté initially presented a conservative look, a brand that portrayed a seriousness that was well out of tone for the exciting products they served.

GiantSky began by understanding Bonté’s corporate goals.  We understood that the company needed to be competitive with star household brands in their sphere such as Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Panera Bread, Krispy Kreme and others.  Furthermore, Bonté need a sense of identity that differentiated it, while providing customers with an enjoyable experience.

GiantSky created a “playful” theme for Bonté.  To showecase this, we delivered a complete rebrand of Bonté and it’s logo, with key signatures, marks and colors that accommodates their various business segments.  Consequently we extended the new brand into the store experience, signage, on its printed material, all packaging, menus, and more.  Finally, GiantSky designed, created and launched myBonté.com, a fun digital website that provided a depth of information for the café, catering and franchising parts of the company.  On the website, customers can find a location, order catered foods and apply for a franchise.  This in turn streamlined and automated the companies operations, and allowed Bonté to bring efficiencies as they scaled into their franchise model.

The result has been a great success.  Bonté’s franchise locations have grown, and the company’s clients identify with the new Bonté.  GiantSky continues to provide its creative and strategic services to Bonté.

GiantSky creates Behavioral Health Forum for the Thomas Scattergood Foundation

Posted on Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

GiantSky, a Philadelphia based marketing and technology agency, was asked to create a new web presence and forum for behavioral health by the Thomas Scattergood Foundation, a Quaker-based, philanthropic, grant-making foundation.  As part of its ongoing initiative to work with Non-profit organizations who may have constrained budgets, GiantSky was thrilled to be a part of the new Scattergood Foundation experience.

GiantSky created a website at www.scattergoodfoundation.org based on requirements presented by the foundation.  The website contains a complete Content Management System that allows the organization to manage it with ease.   The Scattergood Foundation’s central position as a funder and collaborator for behavioral and mental health issues in the Greater Philadelphia allowed the organization to be well positioned as the mediator for a regional behavioral health forum.  GiantSky adapted an open source forum for the Scattergood Foundation and applied a seamless design to the integration.

GiantSky is privileged to be a part the Scattergood Foundation’s growth.  We hope the behavioral health forum brings together the best minds of mental health, and results in the improvement of many lives.
