On-The-Mark with Off-Road Racing Client

Categories:

The sight of a professional race course, the smell of wet dirt, and the sound of engines rounding a tight corner is what makes Chad Antos’ heart flutter.  And so, a perfect relationship between Wild West Motorsports Park and The Antos Agency has begun.  With only 3 months to build the track and prepare a branding and public relations campaign for the August 25th & 26th race, Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series made a proper stop in Reno and will become a regular site on future tours.  Bringing talented and well-known racers like Carl Renezeder, Brian Deegan, Jeremy McGrath, Cary Hart and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg made for a memorable event.

Such a large event had a group of talented ‘behind the scenes’ people working on the project: Norm Dianda, owner of Q&D Construction, not only owns the property but also built and constructed the race track, and funded most of the event; The Abbi Agency developed the public relations campaign; Wild West Motorsports Park put all the pieces together to make the event happen; and, The Antos Agency established Wild West Motorsports Park branding campaign.  There were many others who made this event possible, and we would like to congratulate them and the awesome team who put on an event that will become an annual event.

This great new facility, the Reno Wild West Motorsports Park, will hold all types of off-road races, including motor-cross and super motor-cross events.

Bringing Nostalgia to Life VIA Hot August Nights

Hot August Nights, a well-loved classic car event held in the Reno/Sparks area for the past 26 years, has gained its momentum over the years because of its clever way of combining a sentimental event for baby boomers and a thrilling experience for the newer generations who have an appreciation for vintage and antique automobiles.

Approached with the opportunity to redesign their current website, Antos Agency looked no further than the timeless icons of the 50’s and 60’s for inspiration. The new website displays period pieces and old-time designs that exhibit the nostalgic feeling that Hot August Nights recreates so well. With easy navigation, new online registration and the official HAN Store, the new website has definitely taken steps forward to enhance the Hot August Nights experience for participants, spectators and volunteers. Visit the new HAN website at http://hotaugustnights.net/ and let us know what you think!

A Photo Can Say a Thousand Words

Engaging designs are produced from a perfect formula of creativity, inspiration, and independent resources.  An important resource is a reliable photographer since one of the most important elements in graphic communication is photography that exudes a specific idea or reaction, and most importantly, interprets and produces your creative direction.

For the last 2 months we have been building a strong and vibrant campaign for our client Legacy Sports International, concentrating on their new 2012 Catalog design which centers around an active way of showcasing their product. Our goal for this job was to create a raw yet striking look at gun products, and we knew in order to achieve this look we had to hire Jeff Dow Photography.  Our art direction strayed from the typical presentation of hunting and mountain scenes, and instead broke the mold by using urban backdrops, timeworn architecture, and Nevada’s own desert terrain.

Below is just of taste of what 40to1 Creative and Jeff Dow Photography produced, just click on each image to view larger:

Creating a Legacy

Categories:

We at 40to1 Creative have been awarded the opportunity to branch out into a new marketing demographic, the hunter.  Having a home base in the Reno/Sparks area has given us a creative advantage in the hunting community; being surrounded by desert, mountains and valleys that spur sheep, bird, and deer hunting has created and maintained this popular sport.  40to1 has worked with hunting clients in the past, most notably Chad Belding and his Banded Nation, and let’s not forget his prevalent shows, The Fowl Life and Dead Dog Walkin’.

So you can imagine when we were given the prospect to work with Legacy Sports.  A Reno-based gun distributing company doing business on an international level is a client we are thrilled to work with.  Legacy Sports sells quality guns such as Howa Rifles, Escort Shotgun, Puma Rifles, Vernoa, Citadel, and Nikko Stirling- to name a few.  Visit their website at http://www.legacysports.com for more product information.

We will keep our followers updated when the new Legacy Sports branding campaign is completed.

We Truly Enjoy Our Clients

Categories:

David Wise

40to1 Creative has had the pleasure or working with a variety of clients, ranging from transportation companies and TV show personalities, to national retailers and local government agencies.  We at 40to1 Creative believe that a diverse set of clients keeps the juices flowing, the inspiration cloud floating, and our creative passion pumping- needless to say, we like to create amazing things.  This brings us to our latest client: David Wise, Freestyle Superpipe Skier.

David Wise is a local guy making a big deal nationwide.  And we were excited when Wise asked us to design a website to promote himself to his sponsors and fans.  40to1 is no stranger to dynamic design, and that’s exactly what we centered David’s “brand” around.   A combination of David’s light-hearted character, his rad tricks in the pipe, and his vibrant approach are reflected in his website, and custom Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.   It wasn’t hard since Wise is pretty dynamic himself.  David could be coming off an ESPN highlight the weekend before, and then enter the office with the most humble, respectful, and grateful attitudes.  Among David’s long list of accomplishments and podium appearances, he recently made the U.S. Freeskiing Halfpipe Team for the 2014 Sochi Olympics- Congrats David!
