Albany Bank & Trust

This month I took on a new client for the long-term. I will be taking over the marketing for Albany Bank & Trust, a bank with 3 charters in the southeast that will be reorganizing under the name AB&T National later this year.

There will be a lot of work that I may feature here, including my first commercial which should happen before the summer, but I thought I would at least post a few of the flyers I have designed for them recently. View the gallery below…

Innovative Practices

I began working with the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) in Canada in the spring of 2008. I was contracted out by DLB Consulting in Fredericton, New Brunswick to layout a publication called “Innovative Practices – Toward Improving Student Success in Canada’s Private Career Colleges”. It was a pretty in-depth publication which required interviewing some of the most successful career colleges across the country and from that research extracting some of the best practices. Each of the 9 sections has a summary, a case study and some “Innovative Ideas” for adopting the practice in a real-world situation.

In addition to the printed guide, we created a website in both French and English that would expand the content beyond the page and let member schools interact with the content and each other. The website features online discussion for every section and highlighted searches. The content-management is handled by WordPress which allows me to be hands-off and allows NACC’s administrative staff to manage the website.

It was a pretty rewarding experience actually, as I got to work with my father, Derek Jones of Focus360 Consulting who did the research and actually wrote the document. He has been building quite a reputation for helping organizations define themselves and create and implement successful strategies.

You can check out the english version of the website here.
