Masters in strategic, creative and technical design.
Web Design & Development
The web is the most important communications medium for companies today. Our interactive team provides the full range of strategic, creative and technical services required for the successful launch of a high impact web presence. Our approach sets us apart – combining strategic, creative and technical phases into a comprehensive methodology that meets project goals on time and on budget. Fine-tuned through our experience with client projects both large and small, our approach combines the goal-oriented process of a large professional services firm with the streamlined efficiency of a boutique design agency.
Online Marketing Campaigns
Online Marketing campaigns are as effective as the infrastructure that supports them. Our development team provides expert CRM consulting services. We provide websites and promotional micro-sites that directly integrate with Salesforce.com over web services. This means immediate visibility of web leads and campaign ROI metrics, as well as user experience benefits like single sign-on capabilities and user account management. We’ve developed numerous custom CRM and lead management solutions catered to the specific needs of individual clients.
Interactive Demos & Animation
Today's Internet consumer is far more savvy and less compartmentalized than every before. The line between consumers and business users is blurry at best, with interested parties collecting information from a variety of sources, be they press releases, consumer and business-facing sites, industry periodicals and more. That's why there's nothing more important for your product or service than to provide a very clear, simple and engaging presentation explaining what it is, how it works and what it can do for your bottom line. Horn Group creates beautifully designed and animated high-end motion graphics, Flash animation and video with voiceover to play a primary or supporting role in demystifying your groundbreaking offering. This provides your customers and the press with the tools to make faster buying decisions or to tout it in the media.
Print & Online Collateral
Horn Group’s designers and copywriters break through the clutter to bring your story life visually and verbally. Our team has written and designed for companies including GE, Intel, HP, Schwab, Lilly and Visa. By understanding market and audience segments, we help clients deliver messages and collateral free of hyperbole and jargon that speak directly to the needs of your buyer.
Widgets & Social Media Applications
As avid users of social media and networking tools we have always been champions of creating a presence for our clients wherever your customers interact online. We've created Facebook applications, Community Forum implementations and customizations, and extended those experiences and functionality online and offline with desktop widgets.
Advertising
Bringing customers to you requires a strategy that may include custom advertisements for the web, such as animated ads and interactive Flash banners, as well as print advertisements for newspapers and magazine, and even billboards and outdoor ads. Our in-house team has a wealth of relevant experience with the planning, creative and production of advertising units to let your presence be known.
Content Management System
Commercial and open source content management solutions are too costly, inflexible, complex, or lacking in the features our clients really need. Horn Group has built a custom content management system that is simple and highly flexible allowing us to address the real-world content management needs of our clients without locking them into costly proprietary or inflexible solutions. All of the websites we produce include a basic version of the Horn Group CMS, which is built on an open source, enterprise-class J2EE environment. Customized versions are built to meet more complex website management. For example, we built a CMS for one of our largest clients to integrate and simplify the management of their more than 100 regional and channel partner websites on a single system.
Portal Software Deployment & Customization
Our experience includes the selection, customization, design and deployment of portal software to enable rapid content management, duplication and deployment of portal web destinations such as conference websites with registration capabilities. We are fluent in multiple enterprise-class languages such as Java and .Net necessary to deploy a robust portal to match your business needs.
