Traditional Media – Public Relations

When our client, Stack’s Bowers Galleries was set to auction one of the most remarkable coins in the history of numismatics, we helped them garner attention from major traditional media outlets, including Bloomberg TV, Reuters, CNN and CNBC.

The result: the 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar broke all previous records, selling for $10,016,875, and The Cardinal Collection of which it was a part accounted for $27 million in total sales.

In this clip, numismatic expert and Stack’s Bowers Chairman Emeritus Q. David Bowers talks about the coin on Bloomberg TV.

McMillan Mediation

McMillan Mediation

Cleaner Cahaba

Cleaner Cahaba

When SouthWest Water Company made improvements of more than $9 million to their North Shelby Wastewater Treatment Plant, they needed a way to convey the information to their customers without the need to navigate the company’s extensive corporate website.

Agile Brands created a site that explained how the phosphorous reducing improvements would help keep the Cahaba River–Birmingham’s main drinking water source–cleaner and more biologically diverse. The site helps customers understand the link between rates and protecting the environment, while also showcasing SouthWest Water Company’s many volunteer activities, like Adopt-A-Stream.

A traditional media overlay, including direct mail and print advertisements helped promote the new site and convey key messages to the company’s target audience.

Northern Beltline

Northern Beltline

As one of the few cities of its size without a complete interstate beltway around the metro area, Birmingham, Alabama was slated to receive federal funding for future I-422, adding a Northern Beltline to the existing Southern leg.

The Coalition for Regional Transportation hired Agile Brands to create and maintain a site that conveyed the key messages in support of the Northern Beltline, including enhanced highway safety, creation of more than 70,000 jobs and the addition of $7 billion to the area economy over the life of the project.

The site Agile Brands created helps convey critical information to stakeholders, including the 39 municipalities that have endorsed the plan, while serving as a counter-weight to erroneous information distributed by a small group of vocal opponents of the project.

Fair Probation Services

Fair Probation Services

When corporations need to communicate on a single subject area, it is increasingly the best practice to create a microsite dedicated to that sole purpose.

The site successfully refutes allegations brought by the New York Times and other media outlets, and helps JCS maintain its reputation as one of the most responsible third-party providers of probationary services in the U.S. It also acts as a means of conveying the many success stories probationers have accomplished with the help of JCS.

Princeton Bariatric Center

Princeton Bariatric Center

When Princeton Baptist Medical Center launched a newly constructed Comprehensive Bariatrics Center, it turned to Agile Brands to help showcase the state-of-the-art facility on the Web.

The flexible site features a dramatic photo slider, basic information on the three kinds of surgical procedures, a news and blogging section, and even a promotional slider in which to feature upcoming seminars and free tours of the facility, which are important conversion goals for the client.

Part of the Baptist Health System, Agile Brands is pleased to be associated with Princeton Baptist Medical Center and its exciting new Level-1  Bariatrics Center of Excellence.

There comes a moment when every expectant Mom suddenly realizes that every decision in your life must now be made with a little one in mind. The first (and one of the most important) decisions involves finding the  hospital where your child’s life will begin.

PrincetonBaby.org was designed to help expectant mothers discover the many benefits of the Personalized Pregnancy Experience at Princeton Baptist Medical Center. Working with talented marketing personnel at Princeton, as well as The Turning Point Group in Houston, Texas, Agile Brands built a site that connects on multiple levels: emotional, rational, and psychological.

Using the latest responsive design techniques, we created a site that manages to present the Web visitor with essential information, patient testimonials and the latest news updates, without becoming cluttered or confusing in any way.

A special mini-slider highlights upcoming events. Maps and Directions are easy to find and follow, in case a nervous Dad has forgotten the best route to the hospital, and Princeton’s amazing group of doctors and nurses are showcased in a way that helps a Mom-to-be know she can count on them to take her through every step of the process.
