Carney Group Receives Two Awards
Carney & Co. to Collect Shiny Things
We were pleased to find out that our agenda brochure for PRI at 2008’s Public Radio Development & Marketing Conference (PRDMC) in Orlando picked up two awards—Best of Class and Best of Division— at the Printing Industry of Minnesota Awards in April.
This week, we received notification that our Lundell folder has won an Award of Distinction in the print category of 2009’s Communicator Awards. This is the leading annual competition honoring creative excellence for communication professionals, and we’re very excited to be counted among the other recipients!
We haven't collected our physical awards yet, but we've got a lovely Brant Kingman bronze (pictured above with Pat) standing in for the interim.

Mitchell Construction Gets Remodeled
Carney Group Puts A New Face On Construction Websites
An active contracting company with an eye for building with good bones. The Mitchell Construction site has the crisp finish and eye for detail that all of their construction and renovation projects have.
The site is easily maintained with a content management system and twitter feed. Working with Mitchell Construction to build their site was a pleasure. We can surmise that working with them on a construction project would be just as great.

New Lundell Design Brings Glamour to Manufacturing
Lundell Manufacturing is all about custom fabrication with precision. When they approached us about revamping their collateral, we rose to the challenge by creating a custom die cut brochure with an interior pocket to exemplify the elegance and perfection of their product. The result has reinvigorated Lundell's sales force, now armed with collateral that lives up to their company name.

Important Decisions Made Here:
CARNEY GROUP'S BBC SIGNAGE GUIDES VOTERS
The BBC took us (okay, just our creative work) with them as they toured the US this fall, hosting panel discussions on the most difficult issues in our latest presidential election in front of live audiences.
Our large format dimensional signage helped listeners to spot BBC reporters streetside, and pointed them to studio and theatre venues where panel discussions were broadcast.

CodeWeavers Delivers on Their Bush Challenge
and gives away a lot of software
St Paul, MN • October 27th, 2008
In a feat of political challenge and, consequently, marketing bravado, CodeWeavers Software Company announced their Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge last summer.
Their challenge made a big splash on the world wide web this week. CodeWeavers hoped “to encourage President Bush to make the most of his remaining days in office by accomplishing a major economic or political goal by January 20, 2009.” By coincidence (or not) George W. delivered.
The contest was a big win for users, who were invited to download CrossOver software for free, for one day. The Wall Street Journal reported, “CodeWeavers is learning what happens when you scream 'Free Software' in a crowded Internet.”
The Carney Group has partnered with CodeWeavers from their inception, from the naming of the company through the packaging of each subsequent product.

HELP US CELEBRATE FLOW 09'
Hey! Where did the photo galleries go?
We moved the photo galleries to http://www.carney.com/pats_blog.php
Look there for new photos and announcements about Pat's photography — Coming soon.
Get Obamafied!
Shepard Fairey's Obama HOPE poster impressed just about everyone, including the design community. Now, Paste Magazine invites you to be part of the mix. All you need is 5 minutes and a web cam or photo of yourself (or wife, or dog, etc). Pictured above is the Obamafied Carney Group namesake.
It takes more than well-written and designed ads to cause ripples in the market. Is this thinking out of the box? And does it have to be a box?
Happy New Year!
On our first workday of 2009, this video reminds us of how grateful we are to subsist on creativity.
