I think most of us accept this as a fundamental truth, but sometimes a little proof is nice.

How to buy happiness

Hilti North America enlisted us to develop the creative for an end of year sales promotion on their direct fastening product line. They wanted to capitalize on the publicity brought by Hilti’s DX 460 being feature in the action movie RED. The above image is an in store display developed by our team. We art directed the photo shoot, and then designed posters, flyers and POP displays for their retail stores.

Below is a film we produced to launch the campaign internally and externally.

DigiTicket is a product developed and marketed by Tulsa based Saltus Technologies. It is a mobile application and web interface that allows law enforcement departments across the nation to issue citations and track records digitally. Their marketing efforts include law enforcement trade shows and they wanted to re-design their booth to provide an “on the streets” feel with call outs that highlighted the biggest value added features of their system.

Gitwit directed the photo shoot, wrote the copy, and designed the booth.

Kelix is a manufacturer of the worlds most efficient geothermal ground heat exchangers. They partnered with Gitwit to lead their marketing efforts. You’ll see plenty more Kelix stuff on our website, but it all started with a re-branding. They wanted a logo that brought their brand into the 21st century and reflected their “green” technology.

Impressions in Stone is a manufacturer and retailer of manufactured stone. Their product is used by McDonald’s, Wal-Mart and Downstream Casino to name a few. It is a product that allows architects and designers to use stone in places they have never been able to before. It provides cost and weight advantages that the design community loves. To highlight this they tasked us with building them a showcase brochure. After many brainstorming and writing sessions we decided upon creating a brochure that was to look and read like an architect/designers journal. The entire brochure uses sketches and notes from the “architect” that walk the user through the design process of using Impressions in Stone. The brochure contains over 50 hand drawn sketches and ink washes and took over 4 months to complete. It is hands down the raddest print piece we have ever worked on.

Hilti North America asked us to help them concept and design a trade show experience that helped them do what they do best… sell the worlds best power tools and fastening systems on the jobsite. We decided to re-create a jobsite experience in Las Vegas at the World of Concrete trade show with a 4 story tall outdoor booth designed to look like a building under construction. We sketched the idea, worked with the engineering team to design the structure, directed the photoshoot, and designed the final output. In the end, the main design is a combination of 64 photos shot from over 200 yards away and then stitched back together to create the facade of the building under construction.

We also worked with Hilti to design give aways, t-shirts, and a secondary “diamond pro” booth. We took a team of 5 people to the trade show in Las Vegas and created an internal and external video each day. (See Below)

The Result:

Hilti had a record sales year at the World of Concrete trade show with growth of over 100% over previous year.

Auteur is french for author. Auteur is also an Oklahoma based start up that offers custom tailored suits and uniforms to upscale hospitality establishments. Gitwit helped them name their company, designed their logo, and helped concept and design a mobile showcase that allows their salesmen to carry around samples of everything from suit liners to buttons.

Western Technologies is a designer and manufacturer of some of the worlds most advanced galvanizing equipment. We have worked with them on re-branding, a website design, sales presentations, and some other marketing materials. They approached us about creating a value added smartphone app for their customers. They get a large amount of phone calls and questions about the size of metal that can be dipped in the different tanks they manufacture. They wanted to provide their customers with an app that would allow them to enter the size and weight of the piece to be dipped and the app would tell them if the piece could be dipped in one of their tanks and the best way to dip it.

The end product is an iPhone and Android app that allows user to store their tank settings for multiple tanks and within seconds enter dimensions and weight and get an answer.

Gitwit led the user experience efforts for TSE’s new mobile application. Their design requirements called for an interface that allowed a team of users to quickly access an event itinerary, view their tasks, check off events, and keep the show running smoothly for professional sports teams across america.

Hilti AG (world HQ in Schaan, Lichtenstein) hired us to execute a series of four commercials to help promote their Fleet Management program. The commercial was to have global appeal as it is being used in 12 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Russia. We met with the global creative director to understand the four key consumer categories and value propositions and then worked for over two months writing scripts, storyboarding, location scouting, casting, art directing, filming, editing, scoring, and creating motion graphics. The end product is the collective effort of over 50 people under the direction of Gitwit Creative.

This project was shot on a RED ONE.
