utah entertainment technology forum creates collaboration

On August 15 2013, the Utah Film Commission and Film Utah presents the Utah Entertainment Technology Forum (UETF). Produced by Digital Utah, the mission of the UETF is to create a collaborative learning and networking resource for producers, post production providers, digital artists, technologists, educators, gaming and software developers and others creating and delivering digital content in Utah. Film Utah and Digital Utah are founded by John Corser, a producer/director based in Utah. The non-profit entities are supported by the Utah Film Commission with a focus on increasing the economic impact of Utah’s production, post production and digital media industry.David Cummins is director over project development and is a 20-year veteran of the Los Angeles post-production industry and an early pioneer in the exploration of digital production pipelines. He was digital lab supervisor for “127 Hours” a film by Oscar-winner Danny Boyle. David says, “Digital Utah, through and the Utah Entertainment Technology Forum, has the potential to align Utah’s digital media industry to package a marketable product to out-of-state producers as well as in-state producers.” He continues by explaining that Utah has the existing tech resources and talent to attract and create what he calls “high tech productions.” He cites Steven Spielberg’s new television production with Microsoft, based on the Xbox game, “Halo,” as an example of high-tech production; interactive, immersive entertainment that Utah could bid for. As the decentralization of motion picture and television production continues, David believes Utah can become a larger player, especially in immersive entertainment. “It’s just a matter of organizing the digital media industry into a proactive, collaborative community,” David says, adding, “gaming is digital media but so is motion picture and television production. And now that most feature films and virtually all television shows are shot on digital cameras, you can’t talk about production without talking tech.” Digital camera technology, combined with specialized software and emerging cloud platforms are allowing filmmakers, television producers and content creators to re-imagine and innovate new ways to produce, deliver and display content. This is creating new opportunities for those in the Utah digital media space. But to understand these opportunities, industry stakeholders need to keep pace with the latest tools, standards and trends emanating from Los Angeles and elsewhere in order to effectively compete in the global media industry. The key purpose of the inaugural UETF event will be to form Digital Utah as an association to take concrete action to grow the digital media industry in Utah.

c-toons to begin production on animated tv series

Imagine an animated television series you can interact with online through most Android and internet capable devices. Imagine a sponsor or an advertiser who can hide coupons or giveaways behind the floating door that takes some skill to crack the code. The animated series code named “Saffire” is being produced in 2D and 3D by the team at C-TOONs and scheduled for release spring 2014. At press time there were negotiations in the works such as sponsorship and technology partners.Game Developer from day one, Les Pardew, and Executive Producer Jeremy L. Christensen and several partners have developed a concept that engages their targeted audience while existing on traditional broadcast media seeking a formula to integrate and convert a center-of-gravity for the highest revenue-producing audience—the gamer. New thought drives every part of this enterprise: new ways for marketers to immerse into programming and interface with viewers, new processes for animating in real-time, a new way for viewers/gamers to watch a television series and engage online while interacting with its environment and characters.Jeremy says, “What we are doing has not been done before. It

targets our audience in the most phenomenal way. We are going to get the story out initially over a major network. We then move to the online version which is hosted on servers and is very similar to an online gaming experience where you can watch the show and at any time, pause the show, and take over a camera and go and explore an entire world.” The new production pipeline for animating in real-time is being engineered by a seven-member team lead by Les who introduced the idea to produce the narrative animation series in a digital game engine. Les says, “I’ve been doing video games for the past 25 years—longer than some video gamers have been alive.” He saw the wisdom in creating narrative animation in a video game engine which allows the animator to see in real-time the responses and reactions of the characters and the environment. In the world of rendering traditional animation, it can take one hour or more to render one second of animation compared to one second to create one second of animation on the digital game engine where all the lighting, geography, effects, environment are running in real-time. By cutting the time to a fraction of traditional methods, the animator is no longer separated from the process of the rendering time, making for a more creative environment with the final output quality as good as or better than what you would see in the movies.

If you visit a special section of Utah’s tourism Web site www.visitutah.com/things-to-do/filmed-in-utah/lone-ranger,

you will be able to plan a vacation around Disney’s “The Lone Ranger’s” iconic loca-tion list. A five-day itinerary includes Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway Hwy 128, Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point, Canyonlands National Park, the Colorado River and Monument Valley. There’s even a video of Armie Hammer who plays John Reid, the Lone Ranger, talking about his favorite spots in Southern Utah. The Web site is one component of a many-tiered partnership between the Utah Office of Tourism (UOT) and Disney. Making for a perfect fit with the UOT’s non-winter cam-paign, The Mighty 5™ characterizes Utah’s unique feature of having five national parks in close enough range to visit them all in one vacation. As it is said—Film is a bill-board for Utah—the same Mighty 5™ fea-ture is what makes Utah so enticing to use for location shooting. Jeremy Chase, account director at STRUCK, the creative agency for UOT says, “The Utah Office of Tourism has always tried to take advantage of when Hollywood’s in town.” It was an irre-sistible concept to co-brand Disney, Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Gore Verbinski, Jerry Bruckheimer with the Mighty 5™.

At the local industry screening of “The Lone Ranger” on July 3, 2013, Governor Gary Herbert spoke of the State of Utah as the third main character alongside Johnny Depp (Tonto) and Armie Hammer. Also at the local screening, Mary Ann Hughes, vice president of marketing for Disney noted that there were 574 Utah crew members who worked on the movie and said, “‘The Lone Ranger’ was one of the most difficult films we’ve done; we needed the best of the best. And Utah has the best of the best when it comes to crew.” This was Disney’s 24th film that used Utah as a location and the relationship is a solid one having begun decades ago with Leigh von der Esch, former director of the Utah Film Commission and then of the Utah Office of Tourism and now with Marshall Moore as director of the Utah Film Commission and Vicki Varela as Managing Director, Tourism, Film and Global Branding for the state of Utah.The marketing partnership between UOT and Disney is unprecedented and required the team on both sides to pull out all stops to make the June 22nd World Premier and the Fourth of July weekend release deadlines.Components of “The Lone Ranger” tie-in include a robust social media and online campaign featuring a sweepstakes to win a “Filmcation” that was designed and executed in-house at UOT by Director of Communications and Digital Strategy, Jay Kinghorn, who led not only the online campaign but also oversaw the details of the unprecedented co-branding extravaganza from the World Premier to the social media strategies. Jay says, “The central goal was drawing parallels between Disney’s ‘The Lone Ranger’ brand and the Mighty 5™.” He explains that there were challenges to accomplishing a many-pronged campaign but the assembled team was up for it. His eye was fixed on staying true to UOT’s message while adhering to Disney’s brand guidelines across an entire spectrum of media and communication platforms. “It took everyone’s efforts to make it happen,” says Jay.Love Communications, the media agency for UOT, worked with National Cine Media (NCM) to assemble an on-screen, lobby and online advertising program. This campaign included a commercial tying the iconic scenes in the movie to Utah that was co-created by Disney and UOT and was shown on the big screen prior to the movie as well as on screens above the concessions in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver as well as standees in the lobby along with pre-roll video and banners online.Through UOT’s sponsorship of the world premier in Los Angeles, there were countless photos of Ranger celebs in front of the step-and-repeat background that included the “Utah–Life Elevated” logo as well as in front of the standees in the theater that

ran in newspapers, magazines and on Web sites globally making for a success in, “visually linking Utah with the movie,” says Vicki Varela. She sees endless opportunities with digital media to leverage the streak of attention Utah is getting for its “Legendary Landscapes.” “It’s about stimulating people’s imagination through personal and persuasive conversations,” she says and plans to look through the lens of this co-branding experience and discover other partnerships that can deliver high-value exposure for Utah’s brand when it comes to tourism, film and business.

Utah has situated itself stra-tegically at the crossroads of creativity and technology. The competitive aerospace industry provides an ideal outlet for

savvy marketers, advertisers, and cre-ative artists to strategically align with key contributors in Utah’s thriving aerospace industry.

We are in the middle of a world-wide mas-sive transition from metallic structures to composite structures such as carbon fiber and Kevlar. Utah is poised as the compos-ites epicenter, and today, composites and aerospace go hand in hand.

The global demand for composites has risen dramatically, driven mainly by the search for greater efficiencies. Composites can be up to 30 percent lighter than

metallic structures such as aluminum while maintaining structural integrity. As an example, these attributes can improve fuel efficiency for airplanes.

Utah is a proven leader in this dynamic industry because of the synergized collec-tion of companies located in Utah. Utah’s recipe for success is a community effort with many contributors collaborating and implementing best practices in the work-place and fostering innovation. Utah is now home to more than 100 companies specializing in composites.

Utah’s proficiency in composites and an extensive supply chain will help ensure Utah continues to be an industry leader in composites and aerospace manufacturing.

The Nature of CompositeIn addition to being lighter and stronger, composites are not affected by salt, corro-sion or extreme temperature changes. As a result, composites such as carbon fiber are used in a wide variety of products ranging from lightweight, high-impact body armor, to rockets, high-end sports cars, commer-cial and private jets as well as recreational products.

Utah’s strong composites industry began with ATK (Alliant Techsystems), formerly Thiokol Corporation, which helped the State become a national composites leader.

ATK was the first key contributor to intro-ducing composites to the aerospace indus-try. When it began manufacturing com-ponents to serve as rocket motor cases. Today, companies like Utah-based Exelis Aerostructures supply the fiber materials to ATK in order for ATK to manufacture structures for aerospace.

Another example of Utah’s critical mass of companies working in the composites industry is Hexcel. Hexcel has advanced composite facilities around the world and is one of the country’s largest producers of carbon fiber and carbon fiber prepregs. The company’s current facility in West Valley City is one of its largest U.S. opera-tions. Hexcel manufactures pre-impreg-nated materials for use in the aerospace industry and sells its materials to compa-nies like Exelis, Boeing, Airbus, ATK and other aircraft manufacturers.

Hexcel products are the first step in a local supply chain that ultimately produces structures ranging from large and small commercial airplanes, to key space and defense programs like the V-22, the F-35 and the C-17. Composite research and

development benefits other industries as well, as evidenced by the award-winning advanced composite rim bicycle wheels manufactured by ENVE in Ogden, Utah.

Aerospace Thrives on CompositesComposites have slowly been adopted by commercial aircraft, piece by piece, with successful results.

Today, composites are key to modern aerospace manufacturing. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is comprised of 50 percent composite materials. In order to support the production of the 787 Dreamliner, Boeing has a current composite assembly line at its Salt Lake-based facility where it is building the 787’s vertical fin. Following the success of Boeing’s existing Utah plant, the company recently announced a new 875,000 square-foot facility to manu-facture its horizontal stabilizer for the 787.

Boeing is the largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircrafts and is a world leader in aerospace technology. Boeing has operations in roughly 70 coun-tries and customers in nearly 150 countries worldwide. Utah’s growing aerospace clus-ter and expanding Boeing production are key assets in the Boeing supply chain.

Composites are used to build private air-craft as well. According to SyberJet, the Cedar City-based aircraft manufacturer, their SJ30 is the world’s fastest and lon-gest range seven-seat light business jet currently in production. In fact, the SJ30 holds three world records for speed and distance. It comes as no surprise that the SJ30 is constructed largely out of compos-ite fiber. This type of construction allows the SJ30 to truly excel.

Defense and Unmanned Systems Rely on CompositesModern Military aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor have approximately a 60-percent composite structure. Unmanned aircraft, such as the Predator and Reaper, are almost entirely composed of composite structures.

Hill Air Force Base’s Ogden Air Logistics Center is on the cutting edge of aerospace composites and is a key contributor for the Predator development, maintenance and testing. The maintenance crews at Hill Air Force Base have had four generations of aircraft maintenance to become experts in aerospace composites. Predator and Reaper Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are driving innovation of this rapidly expanding material science technology.

Unmanned Aerial Systems in the United States are currently used solely by public safety agencies, universities and other entities that receive special waivers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Due to the advances in technology, UAS have potential to expand into many dif-ferent industries including manufacturing,

aerospace, transportation, agriculture pro-duction, natural resource management and homeland security.

“Taking advanced military technology and using it for various civil and commercial applications, such as natural resource management, precision agriculture and emergency response are emerging UAS application opportunities,” said Marshall Wright, director of business development for the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED). “These applications of UAS have the potential to create a large number of long-lasting, high-paying jobs.”

Utah is home to the Army’s leading UAS testing site at Dugway Proving Ground, located in Utah’s West Desert. Companies such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, ImSAR and Lockheed Martin/Procerus, have built a vibrant and developing UAS and aerospace industry in Utah.

Accelerating Growth for Aerospace and Composites in Utah Accelerate Utah’s Economic GrowthAnother benefit of having such a vibrant network is the incredible potential for aerospace and composites start-up compa-nies to develop and thrive in Utah.

A burgeoning marketplace exists in Utah where suppliers, manufacturers, dis-tributors and retailers can all work closely

Dreamliner wows crowds in salt Lake city, Utah

together and build off of each other’s successes. These Utah businesses have implemented “best practices” to create a nation-leading industry here in the great state of Utah.

While Utah’s highly trained and highly educated workforce is essential to the composite industry’s success, the State has recognized an opportunity to continue accelerating an already vibrant industry cluster. Utah is investing in training spe-cific to the composite industry and is aligning with the private sector, secondary and higher education to match emerging workforce talent with industry need.

The aerospace economic cluster repre-sents roughly 4.5 percent of all Utah state wages, and the average aerospace industry wage is roughly 90 percent higher than Utah’s average annual wage.

The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) has also been vital to building and sus-taining Utah’s strong composites manufac-turing industry as it creates the binding factor that assists the State’s composites experts and companies.

Utah’s composites industry is paving the way for future innovation and growth. Whether supporting the aerospace industry or outdoor products, “This is the Place” for companies and careers in the compos-ites business.

After 28 years, Penna Powers Brian Haynes (PPBH) Managing Partner John Haynes retired in June of this year.

It’s not often that you have the opportu-nity to sit down with a success story who will share their secret to success. That is just the opportunity I had when I sat down with John this month to talk about his success, the future for the agency and what’s next for him.

adnews: How did PPBH prepare for your retirement?

Haynes: The agency has had a succes-sion plan in place since our founding. We have also been planning for and work-ing toward the transition of handing the Managing Partner reins to Dave Smith for several years. Dave has been a partner with the agency for more than 10 years and has been at PPBH for 20 years.

The transition was smooth and unevent-ful because of the execution of a well-designed communication plan, consistent discussion with staff and clients and a gradual turning over of leadership.

adnews: What is your approach for suc-cessfully running a business?

Haynes: Hitting Singles. I knew that if we focused as a team on consistently hitting singles, we would make it in this busi-ness. If we try to hit a home run or a grand slam, we might strike out. We were very methodical and patient. Hit singles—just one base at a time. That worked well for us. We grew steadily and solidly with this approach.

Since opening the doors over 29 years ago as employee #1, I’ve been very lucky to work with strong partners including John Haynes, Dennis Powers, Bill Cutting and current partners Mike Brian and Dave Smith. “Partner” is not just a title. We all come to work every day and look forward to working together to do the best work for our clients each day, and that is still the case.

I had the good fortune to work side by side with John for 28 years. I learned a lot from him about leadership. It’s easy to run an agency in good times, but John’s leadership was put to the test dur-ing the tough times. That’s where John really shines, when you are hit with the hard times, he is calm, strategic and brings strong leadership to the group. John always said, “Clients need to know when they put their faith in us, they are putting their faith in a solidly-run busi-ness.”

- Chuck Penna, Founding Partner, CEO

John Haynes has been a strategic giant in this market for over 28 years. And though he moves on as did Dennis Powers and Bill Cutting before him, their legacies echo in the halls of PPBH—and will forever. This agency partnership is very unique in that we have found great success by surrounding ourselves with the brightest minds in the market. Void from heavy egos and personal agendas, the PPBH team will drive forward as it has for the past 29 years. Providing its clients with unmatched professional communication, strategies and success. People may change, but the legacy they leave here remains and fuels the agency on a daily basis.

- Mike Brian, Partner, Digital, COO

Any time that you have an icon like John Haynes step down, we want to make sure the transition is smooth for employees and clients, and that we embrace the wonderful things John has done for the past 28 years. This agency is in better shape than ever before because of John Haynes and his unique ability to sim-plify complex challenges, to operate with solid, financial mechanisms and to create and maintain an environment that culti-vates creativity, strategy and great work. PPBH would not be where it is today without John Haynes. He will always be a part of this agency, as we will honor his legacy by the great work we will continue to do for our clients.

- David L. Smith, APR, President, Managing Partner

adnews: You have always heralded a ‘strategic communication approach.’ What does this really mean?

Haynes: The essence of strategy is to first have a plan of where you want to go or what you want to have happen. Think suitcase model, if you know where you’re going on a trip it is easier to pack. The same theory holds for communication. If you know where you’re going it’s easy to build the public relations message, the media plan, the creative execution, the social media effort—because you know what you’re trying to accomplish.

A strategy also gives the client a frame-work and a reference so they can approve the direction with confidence. Often, it’s hard for a client to approve advertising because they don’t know the business like we do. Once we all agree on strategy, our approval rate on creative execution of the strategy is about 90 percent—on first-time presentation. It saves everybody money and pain. Since we always know where we’re going, packing’s not too bad.

I use strategy in everything I do whether I am looking for a house, or clothing—whatever it is. You start with the strategy and everything else comes easy because you know where to think. You only do what serves the strategy.

adnews: What will you miss most about the ad game?

Haynes: The excitement of the challenge and getting to a solution that is inher-ent to the advertising business. It’s a fun business where we get to solve chal-lenges and make an impact. We go home, we’re happy. Come back the next day, we’re even happier.

adnews: What won’t you miss about the ad game?

Haynes: The pressure. But, that’s what the business is, constant deadlines. I didn’t realize the amount of pressure you’re under to produce every day. Thirty proj-ects in the works and 30 more coming down the pipeline and keeping 50 people busy and keeping the agency afloat. I didn’t recognize it—the constant pres-sure—until it was gone. I don’t feel that weight anymore.

adnews: What’s next for PPBH?

Haynes: We’ve got all the bases covered. PPBH will continue with founding partner and CEO Chuck Penna in charge of cre-ative services and agency growth; COO Mike Brian leading the digital group and Dave Smith taking the helm as president and managing partner, PPBH’s leadership feels prepared and ready to continue the longevity and success of the firm long into the future.

The partners also have the support of an experienced team of seven department directors. Many of our directors have worked at PPBH for 15 years or longer.

adnews: What’s next for you?

Haynes: I’m splitting time between man-aging my family’s business, Haynes Land and Livestock, as well as taking on a new challenge at LDS Business College developing an educational experience that mirrors real-world practices and leads to securing jobs and careers.

The House that Boede Built evolution of talent and leadershipLori Feld, managing director and Ted Tsandes, creative chief co-lead the Salt Lake and San Francisco offices of MRM//McCann with Dave Boede in role of Chairman Emeritus

When you step off the elevator on the 14th floor of the World Trade Center in downtown Salt Lake City, you are transported to a world where global brands live and thrive—the sleek, stylish offices of MRM//McCann—not only one of the tech powerhouses in Utah, but also one of the best business-to-business marketing firms in the country, if not the world. Analytic firms such as Forrester and McKinsey and Gartner look here to understand the nature of the best business-to-business marketing practices.And that’s not even the the most interesting part of the story.It’s worth a brief deconstruction of what is now a force in the McCann Worldgroup system—the 250-plus-person Salt Lake office that also leads the 40-person San Francisco office. Imagine a 20-year-old Dave Boede working at Gillham Advertising in the mid 1980s. Gillham, was one of the largest advertising agencies in Utah and handled the largest financial institution, First Security Bank as its main client.In 1988, Dave felt the urge to join the fresh, brave Dahlin Smith White agency that pitched and won the intel account. Witness the birth of the technology bubble while the stalwart (quickly growing) team at DSW performed magic on the intel account, launching the “intel inside” brand to the world in a Superbowl commercial as well as paving the way for the new-found channel of enterprise technology marketing. Dave earned the title of partner shortly before the acquisition of DSW by EuroRSCG.The individuals who rose quickly to the top with Dave Boede at DSW/EuroRSCG were thoroughbreds Lori Feld, Ted Tsandes, Scott Kempema and a world-class ensemble now contributing to Salt Lake’s MRM//McCann office.In 2000, Martha Felt retired and offered Dave the managing partner position at marchFIRST—formed in 1998 from a blending of the Martha Felt Group, founded in 1995, with USWeb/CKS and then that entity with Whittman-Hart. One year later, marchFIRST filed bankruptcy. With great courage and ingenuity, Dave organized a buyout and kept the 40-person staff and clients intact as boede&partners.The dedicated team of partners focused on growth and increased revenues 90 percent by 2002 with clients that included ClearOne, Ingenix, Iomega, Manugistics, Mercator, Network Associates, Plantronics, SCT and Unisys. Once again, a Salt Lake agency appeared on the radar of a global network. By 2005, McCann Worldgroup acquired boede+partners. In 2011, McCann switched the Salt Lake office’s P&L from McCann to MRM. Dave was appointed president of MRM Americas leading seven offices from Toronto to Argentina and Lori and Ted were named co-directors of the Salt Lake office. In 2013, the Salt Lake office assumed leadership of the San Francisco office and Dave returned his attention to Salt Lake as chairman emeritus.Dave Boede is clever and charismatic as he underplays his impact. He says, “It’s one of the great stories in the market that this group continues to hang together from a continuous thread of evolution,” and describes, “It started with DSW. Those guys knew that you had to be very focused on what you do. We took what we know about technology and expanded it to what makes business-to-business marketing so valuable, what differentiates it, and we’ve been disciplined about that.“We are the pre-eminent business-to-business marketing firm in the McCann WORLDGROUP network as well as in the U.S. This is a testament to what we are able to accomplish. We have a very sophisticated model of customer engagement through the business-to-business cycle that involves everything from broad-based awareness all the way through to sales. These are smart

people in our office who are so intelligent and so down to earth they are willing to jump in and do the hard stuff. They rise to the level that leads to the next level of understanding to be at the forefront.”Lori Feld simplifies the complex as she talks with poetic eloquence about the strategic model built by and unique to the Salt Lake office that places emphasis on the customer experience. “We’ve built this model that accounts for all the different phases of decision making—the customer journey. This model inherently helps our clients to see and hone in to where the problems are. We really dig in and get focused in order to achieve business impact. We build trust one success at a time, so that creates organic business growth for us. I don’t think there’s one client we have that hasn’t grown organically here.”Even though intel, Verizon and ExxonMobile left the McCann network, they remain loyal to the Salt Lake office for its specialized BtoB services. Other accounts include AOL, Microsoft, Mastercard Verisign and Ellucian.Ted Tsandes also feels suited to the BtoB marketing space. He says,” I’ve worked on everything, virtually everything, and I think BtoB fits my style. It’s not always going to be what people look at and win awards for but it’s built an agency that will be here for a long time.”As creative chief, he understands that the complex nature of relationship is at the core of a collaborative, creative team. What is particularly notable about Ted is his sincere demeanor. With interest in building a symbiotic environment, he is a social scientist. He says, “One of the important things that people don’t often realize is that agencies are fragile places. If you lose a person here and a person there, all of a sudden those become key people who change the culture of an agency.“I take pleasure in trying to help put together teams that have a lot of chemistry and work well together. When there’s that familiarity and that comfort, out of it comes really great creative.”He also sees the larger concentric circle of relationship when it comes to aligning creative teams with clients and is deliberate when things are served by adjustment. “We’ve had creative directors on a piece of business and for whatever reason things aren’t going great. Then you make one change and all of a sudden everything is great. If you stop to think about it, you realize how much of this business is built on relationships.”The Salt Lake office offers expertise in the full array of creative, strategy and marketing from advertising, design, digital, field and channel marketing, et al, providing a rich supply of talent to clients.While Lori and Ted bring their wisdom and style to running the Salt Lake and San Francisco offices, they build upon the bedrock of Dave’s philosophy: Be good to people.

she led the account services team and in 2008 launched TSG’s digital services practice. Todd characterizes Christy as asking the right questions and simply not letting something fail. James joined TSG in 2004 and became the agency’s VP of creative services. He was a creative director for Dahlin Smith White and for several design boutiques in Atlanta, Georgia and has worked with international clients, won numerous ADDY and AIGA awards and had work featured in HOW magazine, Print magazine, Creativity and AR100 among others. He is known as a strong strategic marketer to his team and is actually the first creative in the agency to hold a partner title. Sharon joined the agency in 2007 and serves as the director of human resources in her capacity as COO along with overseeing IT, facilities, administration management and finance. She shaped the growth of the agency through strategic recruiting and the creation of new systems that increase efficiency and productivity. Jordan joined the agency in 2007 and leads the agency’s largest team, strategic marketing and account services. Previous to TSG, he developed channel marketing expertise with Ingram Micro and has international marketing expertise having sourced, developed and marketed products with partnerships in China. With additional leadership strength in place, the agency plans to grow to 200 professionals by 2020 expanding its areas of service and expertise, explained Todd who said that if they achieve this goal, they will have developed multiple locations across the country. “The agency has grown in size, geography, specialty and breadth of services,” said Bill. “And as we have become bigger and more competitive on the national level, we have been able to attract some of the best talent out there—in Utah and elsewhere.” The Summit Group built a culture around a work and value ethic. The simple phrase, “You have to come to work,” is packed with emphasis on the action of working and bringing your highest value and performance expectations to the workplace every day. Todd says, “Every day you have to find a way to be valuable to the agency. We’re all trying to find the ways to make ourselves valuable to the agency and the client. It gives you a powerful sense of self in the agency.” And in the end, it is that same visionary, entrepreneurial spirit of the agency’s conception that pumps through the blood of TSG employees, who have collectively made the agency what it has become today.

From a one-person public relations firm run out of a hotel room in the spring of 1982, to an 80-person, full-service agency run out of its own building in downtown Salt Lake City,

Bill Paulos mixed vision, a strong work ethic and the heart of a fierce competitor to build one of Utah’s most successful and lasting marketing communications firms. In the 1990s, he joined with partner, the late Steve Brown and niched in the franchise and healthcare sectors to secure a platform for further growth and expanded service offerings. Early into the new century, Bill and Steve invited Todd Wolfenbarger to become partner, and added expertise in telecom and bioscience while continuing to grow adding workforce and skill base to The Summit Group (TSG). Todd stepped into the partnership role with a lot to offer but feels he had more to gain. “I learn something from Bill every day. He has a really great business mind and holds great passion for this work. He once told me that lack of success is a vision problem, not a visionary problem. He says that real entrepreneurs can’t see the difference between problems and opportunities. That’s really true with him. He just puts his shoulder down and goes. That really drove the agency for the first 20 years and he turned it into a 30-plus-person agency. From there, we laid out a path for continued aggressive growth, and we are at 80 people now.” By late 2012, TSG was operating out of nine states including Utah, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan and Tennessee and served more than 65 markets across the nation. And 2012 account win AAA Utah joins legacy accounts SelectHealth, Mountain America Credit Union, Costa Vida Restaurants, Energy Solutions, Jones Waldo, T-Mobile, Massage Envy, ExtraSpace and SUBWAY® Restaurants in 33 markets. In May of 2013, the agency named two new partners, Christy Whitehouse and James Rabdau and two vice presidents, Sharon Roux and Jordan Howe. “James and Christy have been vital in the progress and growth of the agency,” says Bill, “Their promotions to partner are reflective of the changing face of the agency and will be catalysts toward achieving our ambitious growth plans for the future. I’m pleased to work with this larger group of dedicated leaders.” Christy joined TSG in 2005 following Dahlin Smith White where she worked on the Intel brand. While at TSG

After 12 years selling and mar-keting technology products in Silicon Valley, Kim Jones found herself in Utah. It wasn’t neces-

sarily a move that she foresaw, but it was a good move nevertheless. Her experience in Silicon Valley and her arrival in Utah ultimately paved the way for Vérité and her vision for communicating digitally.

Today, Vérité is a leader in creative services and cutting-edge technology solutions for high-profile clients such as Intel, Symantec, Adobe, Visa and Mars Candy.

how did vérité get to be 20 years old? what is the recipe for staying in a challenging, yet innovative industry?

It begins within the walls of the company. Vérité, has long maintained a culture of innovation and change. It is a lean, mean, nimble machine with tried-and-true process-es that work. This stands out in an industry where technology changes all the time. Vérité has never relied on the status quo to lead the way, it has had to lead the way in many areas such as CD authoring (when no one else in Utah was doing it) and mobile apps. Vérité discovers and thrives in terri-tory where others fear to tread.

To begin to understand its success, let’s start with its culture that values its employ-ees. “First of all, I never thought it was sensible to pay people below market rates. People leave, and the cost of retraining and everything is so much higher than any kind of advantage you get low balling an employee’s salary. From the get go I’ve always paid higher than most companies in town and I continue the same to this day and that is why I have some people who have been with me 8, 10, 15 years.

“I know it’s hokey, but let your conscience be your guide, let your karma rule you, and pay your people a little more than the mar-ket will bear. I think that’s a good recipe.”

what was it like in 1993 starting a technology agency in utah?

“When I started out I was bootstrapped so I didn’t have the modeling of today where there’s huge VC funding and things like that. I was much more organic in my approach to starting the company.

“As a result, the company was out of my house for the first four years. I had people in my basement all hours of the night and day and then in about 1997 we got our first office in Draper and then we went to

the building we’re in today in 2003.

“Bootstrapping has its challenges because you don’t have that funding coming in to fund your vision - that ability to close deals with your clients with the reassurance that you can turn your vision into their reality.

“It was very challenging back then. There weren’t a lot of people doing it. There was

no Adobe or Macromedia or tooling that you could use, so we had to be creative about the ways to get online, and in order to do that, we had to use pretty robust programming languages to get there.

“In the early days, our biggest challenges were how long it took to do what change looked like for the client. It took weeks to implement change for the client so we really felt like we were in the stone ages.

“The fact that we were bootstrapped and that we were in the stone ages kind of sur-prises me that we’re still around to tell the story because we didn’t have a lot in our favor at that time.

“Other challenges were convincing people to work with us because we had no track record and nobody was doing this work. I would go to clients like Iomega, Novell and Intel and say, ‘I have this idea—you could put it on a DVD—you could animate this Iomega drive to look like motorcycles. We didn’t have any portfolio back then so it was a matter of convincing people of this vision we were thinking about that was going to become a reality. Today we have a huge portfolio but back then it was not easy to demon-strate anything.”

you led in paving the road for technology agencies and continue to be a market leader. what’s the next wave that requires vision and entrepreneurial ingenuity?

“For interactive agencies, the next big thing is under-standing fundamentally more about the technology and the database connectivity behind creative campaigns. How you can use technol-ogy to advance creative campaigns because when you do something, it needs to be on social platforms, it needs to be on IOS, Android and then maybe it needs to be on the Web so maybe things have gotten to be a little bit backwards as far as the Web being your end-all primary landing place. That’s not necessarily so.

“So what that does to an interactive agency is it com-plicates things even further

because you need to understand basically how to get your content driven by a central database and be able to understand how to display at every level; hence responsive design.

“The whole reality behind responsive design is that you understand what the user interface is going to be like and less is going to be more. You’re not going to have a lot of pop-out windows or a lot of stuff going on. It’s about streamlining the most important content so it’s the most important thing that comes to the top of any device you’re on and understanding how you’re going to get a database to dish that out for you on every platform. That’s going to be the challenge. We’re ready for that challenge because we’ve been technical the whole way down the road but I think it’s going to present another layer of chal-lenges for those traditional agencies that want to wake up one morning and enter the interactive.

“The other angle to the new challenge is getting to consumers where they are, and especially, getting to that younger millen-nial audience because you never know where they are hanging out. The other big challenge within that age group is their per-ception of advertising itself. No longer can you blatantly advertise. You have to come up with a concept that they can relate to.”

best part of your world?

“I like market changes. They create new opportunities for me. I love the thought that I can reinvent. A lot of people have to leave their jobs to reinvent. I can wake up one morning and reinvent—totally reinvent.”

full service or specialty: Full Service

defining achievement: By strategic design, a signifi-cant portion of the work received by ThomasARTS has been within two of the hottest and most quickly changing industries – health care and finance. This has shaped the course of the agency and proven to be a significant game changer. Other industries, including technology, retail and travel and tour-ism, have helped diversify the agency’s experience. However, with the transformation of health care and finance during recent years, ThomasARTS is the most sought-after ad agency in the country because of its experience in those two changing industries. The agency’s experience in these sectors has resulted in nearly 30 percent growth during the past 12 months.

economic recovery plan and current status: Today it’s more important than ever to do more with less and to make every marketing dollar count. ThomasARTS has taken steps over the years to be more efficient and streamlined on behalf of its clients. Although the agency is large by Utah stan-dards, it’s considered small, verging on mid-size, on a national scale. Ultimately the agency’s size, ability to offer multiple platforms and its variety of services under one roof have given it an adaptable, nimble approach that further fosters and develops trusted relationships with major national clients.The agency’s approach to response branding, ide-ation, creativity and streamlined efficiencies have help ThomasARTS secure both local and national recognition. It has been named by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest-growing private companies (#233 in our industry and #2,565 overall) with a 92 percent growth rate. ThomasARTS was also named Utah’s top advertising firm in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 by Best of State, Utah’s premier recognition and awards program.

have job titles changed for the digital age?: ThomasARTS is committed to proactively expanding its service offerings to meet the ongoing evolu-tion and needs of digital marketing. To meet these needs, ThomasARTS has pursued opportunities to grow its capabilities within both digital develop-ment and social media. Because the agency is prepared for a broad spectrum of needs, job titles have always been inclusive enough to reflect the growing range of skills employees use to find the best solution for clients even as media evolves. This approach has allowed the agency to successfully integrate traditional advertising and marketing with today’s growing and changing new media.

is your agency experiencing a leadership transition?: While the executive board at ThomasARTS has remained consistent throughout the years, the agency aggressively hires high-level talented staff to meet the needs of its clients and to pursue growth opportunities.

full-time employees: 23

agency headquarters: Sandy, Utah

key leadership: Kim Jones, Founder and CEO; Steve Smith, Partner, VP of Creative; Alan Walker, Partner, VP of Technology; Michelle Chatwin, Director of Account Services

agency mission statement/slogan: Vérité is an energetic and highly innovative company who is always on the horizon of the next trend in creative technology to support the marketing initiatives of our clients. Since 1993, we’ve worked with the world’s leading corporations to deliver cutting edge creative and forward thinking web technologies to strengthen brands, reach audiences, and get results. Our goal is to produce the highest quality of com-munications and tools possible, while keeping the process simple and easy for clients.

defining achievement: Our most defining achieve-ments since our founding have included being one of the first interactive agencies in Utah to author and design CD and DVD back in the day. Today we have stepped up to be one of the first agencies involved with mobile apps development implement-ing cutting edge creative design with robust data-base integration strategies and native development for multiple platforms.

economic recovery plan and current status: Our economic recovery strategies were two fold. Take a very conservative approach to financial management and combine that with a strong focus on diversifying our account base. This has served us well. We were able to tackle financial ebb and flow due to the fact that we saved money instead of spending it, and diversifying our account base allowed us to grow revenues with a variety of accounts instead of relying on just a few accounts. Our current status is that we are alive and well and back in growth mode again.

have job titles changed for the digital age?: Well for us, the digital age is not new. We’ve been at the heart of the digital age since we were found-ed. We have not changed titles and how they are structured recently because we’ve always addressed roles to adapt to the digital landscape. We’ve always had digital architects and UI designers as part of our core roles.
