NJ Marketing Agency Offers Email Marketing Help

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2020 -- Email is an effective, interactive and measurable communications tool that allows businesses to reach a large number of customers efficiently. Yet, most small business owners and managers who have the best intentions to handle email marketing on their own fail to execute it consistently. They are missing opportunities to increase sales.

Many companies choose to lean on an agency that provides professional email marketing as a service along with social media management, search engine optimization and website development services, such as the NJ team at KickCharge Creative®. But for those that need some inspiration to create their own email newsletters, KickCharge has provided the following content ideas to encourage them to write and deploy more frequent email campaigns so they can stay in touch with their loyal customer base.

- News & Operational Information: Did the company's hours of operation change? Is its retail store hosting a grand reopening after the coronavirus pandemic? Are plans for a customer appreciation sale in the works? Companies can keep customers in the loop via email and they can easily find the message later when they need to reference it.

- Savings: Special offers are typically the most popular content in an email newsletter. The email subject line should announce that the message contains a discount or rebate. Use this channel to make customers aware of available financing options, too.

- Seasonal Reminders: Service providers can use their newsletter to remind customers when it is time to schedule equipment maintenance, change air filters, prepare for hurricane season, treat their lawn, file tax returns or handle other regularly scheduled or timely services.

- New Offerings: Companies should not assume that loyal customers are keeping abreast of changes and additions to service offerings. Use the email newsletter to announce new products and services so that they know what's available.

- Relationships: Use email to spread the word about company partnerships with community organizations or support of charitable causes. The goodwill could inspire people to hire the company, encourage others to pitch in or spark new opportunities or business relationships.

- Blog Post Promotion: Publishing new blog posts has many benefits for a website. To make sure people read them, tell email subscribers about new posts by including a summary and link in the newsletter.

- Request Input: Customer feedback can be a helpful tool when companies need to make decisions. An email newsletter can ask clients to share their opinions, suggestions or requests.

Email newsletters can be executed quickly and inexpensively. They're also shareable—people can forward them to friends and family who might need the info—and measurable. Smart business owners and managers will take advantage of this communication tool. But they don't need to do it alone; they can turn to KickCharge Creative for customized, branded email design and content, along with vehicle advertising, print collateral and more. To learn more and request examples of the NJ agency's work, call 800.836.4666 or fill out this form.

Learn About Available Loans & Get Tips About Advertising During Pandemic

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/10/2020 -- Businesses of all sizes around the world are adapting to operate during the coronavirus pandemic. Whether they provide essential services or the government shut them down, most are experiencing a drop in revenue, among other challenges. That's why KickCharge Creative, a branding and marketing agency based in New Jersey, aggregated a list of resources to help its clients and other companies take advantage of financial assistance and other information that will help them stay afloat.

KickCharge specializes in services like vehicle wrap design and building websites for contractors. It helps small and medium-sized businesses match their brand image and messaging with the high-quality services they provide—and wants to help those same companies remain focused on delivering the outstanding service their communities need during this difficult time.

Advice for Advertising
Businesses may be wary about how to promote their services without exploiting the pandemic situation. Some might believe they should stop investing in advertising during a crisis, but communication is crucial. Brands that stay visible will be stronger.

Roy Williams of the American Small Business Institute, known as "Wizard of Ads," advises that canceling or postponing advertising during situations like this one is a mistake. He says the key to creating successful ads under these circumstances is to "be the company they think of first and feel the best about." Companies' ads should bond with customers by telling unique stories, he says in this video.

The CARES Act & Payroll Protection Program
The federal government signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act into law to expand unemployment insurance, among other benefits. It includes a $350 billion Paycheck Protection Program for businesses that have fewer than 500 employees and are hurt by the economic downturn due to the spread of COVID-19. They can apply for a 0.5% interest loan to cover payroll, mortgage interest, rent, utilities and other expenses. This fact sheet explains who is eligible and how to determine whether loans would be forgiven. Fortune.com answers common questions here. Get a loan application.

Loans for Working Capital
Businesses can apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan of up to $2 million from the Small Business Administration. These loans cover companies' temporary revenue losses and may provide an advance of up to $10,000 within three days. Here's the application.

Ad Credits from Google
Companies that have advertised on Google platforms since Jan. 1, 2019, may be eligible to receive credits in their Google Ads accounts. The $340 million in credits can be applied to search, display and YouTube campaigns until Dec. 31. Eligible advertisers will get a notification in their accounts if they will be receiving credits.

Resources for Sign Companies & Home Service Contractors
ServiceTitan, the creator of software for managing service businesses, has produced several blog posts, webinars and interviews about operating during the pandemic. One webinar featured legal and financial experts talking about the CARES Act and how to apply for financial relief. The International Sign Association created a Business Continuity Resource Center for sign companies and printers.

KickCharge Offers Its Support
KickCharge Creative wants small businesses to know the agency is available to help them with all services, from rebranding and fleet advertising to copywriting, ad design, email marketing and web design in NJ or beyond. Contact the company at 800.836.4666 or on its website.

KickCharge Creative Unveils Mascot for Seatown Electric, Heating & Air

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/30/2019 -- It was a rebrand of astronomical proportions, so its selection as Brand of the Month comes as no surprise. KickCharge Creative®, the agency delivering Powerful Marketing Solutions® and custom brands for small and medium-sized businesses, chose the bright brand it developed for Seatown Electric, Heating & Air in Seattle, Wash., as the May 2019 recipient of this new monthly honor.

KickCharge is known for logo design, as well as its prowess in creating HVAC company names, head-turning vehicle wraps and custom WordPress web design in NJ and across the country. It has started a monthly video series describing the rebrand journey for one of its clients.

In the pioneer video, KickCharge President Dan Antonelli says the spaceman mascot created for Seatown pays homage to the Space Needle, the iconic Seattle observation tower that was designed to symbolize the Space Age. The retro-styled character was developed from scratch. It uses a unique color scheme, Antonelli says in the video, and the Seattle skyline provides a fitting background. Watch it here.

Seatown Electric, Heating & Air consulted KickCharge when the company was 4 years old and had been known simply as Seatown Electric until about six months prior—so, many in the market had not learned it also offers HVAC services.

The new brand already adorns more than a dozen trucks and has been implemented on the company's stationery, brochures, uniforms and other collateral—promising "service that's out of this world."

"Despite our new look, the down-to-earth values that have fueled our company to success remain unchanged. We're still the same team of honest, highly trained professionals who consistently deliver personal, high-quality electrical and HVAC products and services to customers in the Seattle area," the company's rebrand announcement to its customers says. "We're still committed to five-star service of cosmic proportions. We're still committed to providing you with a customer-service experience that is out of this world."

Brandon Phillips at Seatown wrote in his review of KickCharge Creative: "After working with Dan and his team of unbelievably talented, creative geniuses we now have a fun, bold, vibrant brand that matches our five-star reputation. … Since the rebrand I look back and will say it's worth every penny. My recommendation to any business owner is go all in with it. Don't stop with just a logo—let them do it all. You won't be disappointed."

About KickCharge Creative
KickCharge Creative creates powerful brands and brings them to life in truck wrap designs, brochures and other print collateral, website design and original content, digital marketing such as search engine optimization and social media management, and more.

NJ Marketing Agency Wins ADDY Awards in Logo, Vehicle Wrap Design

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2019 -- KickCharge Creative, the small business marketing agency with an endless supply of powerhouse ideas, recently brought home an armload of swag from the Lehigh Valley's ADDY Awards.

KickCharge, which has won numerous accolades in its 24-year history as a top-notch web design company based in NJ, captured a total of three American Advertising Awards (ADDY) trophies!

The ADDY Awards are a three-tiered contest held by the American Advertising Federation to honor the very best in advertising and marketing across the country. KickCharge was a three-time winner at the AAF-Greater Lehigh Valley Ad Club event.

KickCharge's logo design for Cardinal Plumbing, Heating & Air flew away with two of these prestigious awards for logo design—a Gold and a Judges Choice. The logo that KickCharge created for this Sterling, Va., contractor features a bright, red cardinal with a wrench cleverly fashioned into its body—extending from its head down to its tail feathers.

KickCharge's rebranding efforts have allowed this company to soar to new heights. The creative team at KickCharge also crafted the tagline "Only the Best for Your Nest" to tie together Cardinal's branding campaign.

KickCharge won a Silver ADDY Award for its truck wrap design for Air Professionals, a Frenchtown, NJ, heating and cooling company. Air Professionals' logo is a playful black and white penguin decked out in a bowtie and cap. The mascot is surrounded by a warm color palette of teal, dark blue and orange, which reflects its friendly, professional service.

For this company, the KickCharge team developed the tagline, "Comfort Mandatory. Tuxedoes Optional."

The ADDYs are the nation's largest and most competitive ad creative contest. All gold winners move on to compete at the district level, which for the Lehigh Valley club is being held this month in Pittsburgh. District winners then move on to the national competition in Hollywood, FL, in June.

KickCharge Creative Ready to Work Its Transformation Magic

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/10/2019 -- The competition was fierce. The in-house debates were spirited. But the branding elves at KickCharge Creative have chosen the lucky winner of this small business marketing agency's "Transform Your Naughty Logo to Nice" Contest.

The contest, which was held over the holidays, invited small business owners with ho-hum logos to submit their lackluster branding for inclusion on KickCharge Creative's Naughty List with the chance for a FREE logo makeover. The criteria used to determine whether a logo belonged on the Naughty List included: failure to reflect a positive brand promise, failure to showcase the amazing work a company does, poor integration into a truck wrap, unoriginal artwork or a dated or amateurish look and feel. After the entries poured in (more than 40 of them), the KickCharge elves, who also excel at powerful web design in their NJ workshop, examined and evaluated each logo until they had whittled down the entries to just one: Empire Heating & Air Conditioning of Decatur, GA.

Congratulations, Empire! The KickCharge team can't wait to use its imagination, creativity and more than 20 years of experience to turn Empire's logo into eye candy that will celebrate the top-quality products and superior services offered by this heating and cooling powerhouse with more than three decades of experience in the industry.

Small Businesses Invited to Enter Their ‘Naughty List’ Logos

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/30/2018 -- The branding elves at KickCharge Creative work year-round to craft powerful logos for the good little boys and girls in the business world.

They see brands of all kinds in newspaper ads, TV commercials, HVAC company marketing, vehicle lettering and elsewhere. When they encounter ho-hum logos that fail to represent quality businesses the way they deserve, the KickCharge elves put those brands on the Naughty List. Some of them are bad because Santa can't read them clearly as he whizzes by on his sleigh. Some look older than Mrs. Claus, even though the company they represent is modern and tech-savvy. Brands that were stolen from other companies are banished to the Naughty List, too, as are logos that don't communicate the right values.

Throughout December, the KickCharge branding elves will describe these branding mishaps on the NJ marketing agency's Facebook page. Companies that suspect their logo might belong on the Naughty List might want to add a shiny new brand to their holiday wish list. They are encouraged to enter the KickCharge Creative "Transform Your Naughty Logo to Nice" contest, for a chance to have their wish granted for free.

The agency of marketing strategists, copywriters and custom website designers in NJ will award a free logo to one business owner who submits a drab brand to the contest. It's a stellar opportunity to start 2019 on the Nice List.

To enter, businesses should click here to share their "naughty" logo for the KickCharge elves' inspection. The entry deadline is 5 p.m. EST Dec. 28. The winner will be notified the first week of January and will receive ONE logo concept created in the KickCharge Creative workshop. The agency's standard hourly rate will apply if the winner requests any revisions to the provided concept.

A strategic brand is a gift that keeps giving throughout the year.

Clients Who Uphold 5 Expectations Can Expect Healthy Collaboration, Results

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2018 -- It's the time of year for counting blessings and sharing gratitude. And soon, New Year's resolutions will be the hot topic. As business owners and managers reflect on their 2018 success and their 2019 goals, their thoughts may turn to relationships with vendors and partners that support their operations. The team at KickCharge Creative, a branding and marketing agency that also specializes in website development services in NJ, has tips for ensuring those partnerships are healthy.

The strongest client/vendor relationships thrive thanks to collaboration and mutual respect. Companies likely have high expectations of the vendor partners they hire, but company officials also have responsibilities to uphold if they want their vendors to perform efficiently and effectively. They should approach the relationship as teamwork.

Companies that uphold the following five expectations in their vendor partnerships will enjoy better results.

1. Respect the team.
Agencies hire talented, trustworthy staff who are held accountable for their work. Good team members feel personally invested in their clients' success, so companies that hire them should treat them professionally and kindly. Patience, manners and gratitude go a long way to foster a relationship of mutual respect.

2. Trust the experts.
Companies hire vendors to do things they need that are outside of their wheelhouse. Their vendors are the experts with relevant experience, proven processes and best practices to guide them. They have a track record of success and have earned their clients' trust and confidence. Companies should not hesitate to provide feedback and input, but they should trust that their vendors know what will generate the best results.

3. Provide timely feedback and approvals.
Efficiency maximizes effectiveness. When vendors request input or direction on a project, it is important to respond promptly so that projects can proceed at a steady pace. Companies should answer in a timely manner when their partners need approvals or ask for information. Stalled projects waste time and cost money.

4. Communicate.
Companies' priorities shift often, and unexpected issues interrupt plans. Business owners and managers are pulled in multiple directions. Still, communication with vendor partners needs to be clear and timely. Companies should alert their vendors when a project must be put on hold, an urgent need requires their immediate attention or deadlines change.

5. Make timely payments.
Vendors are grateful when their clients pay their invoices promptly. Not only do they deserve to be compensated on time for the brilliant work they do, but also they need to pay their bills and payroll. Healthy cash flow enables them to invest in resources that will benefit their clients.

KickCharge Creative Values Client Relationships
The team at KickCharge is grateful for collaborative relationships with its clients. The NJ agency helps companies across the country develop strong brands, choose catchy HVAC company names, design eye-catching vehicle wraps, build effective websites, write print collateral, manage strong digital marketing campaigns and much more.

Small business web agency offers 5 advantages over other vendors

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/12/2018 -- Contractors across the country often voice similar complaints about digital marketing. Results are poor or confusing. Their HVAC marketing agency won't give them access to their website accounts. Some don't even own their site.

KickCharge Creative is a web design company in NJ that does digital marketing differently. Learn five advantages to partnering with KickCharge to build, write and market websites.

1. Ownership. Small businesses that get a KickCharge website own everything on the site once they make the final payment: the words, the graphics and the coding. Agencies with monthly contracts hold websites hostage, but KickCharge clients have complete control.

2. Access. KickCharge ensures its clients have the keys to their website content management systems—and that they know how to use them, so they can edit the information on their websites themselves, if they'd like. They also can log into their own Google Analytics accounts and paid search campaigns. This agency values transparency in its relationships with clients; it doesn't hide their data from them.

3. Exclusivity. Digital agencies that work for their clients' competitors, too, cannot achieve the best visibility and maximize leads with the greatest efficiency for all of them. For this reason, KickCharge Creative won't manage digital marketing for more than one company in the same market.

4. Character. Every company should have original website content written in its brand voice. Customized content communicates a business's differentiators, giving potential customers a reason to choose that company over a competitor. Besides, the duplicate content many agencies use on the websites they build can harm the sites' organic search engine visibility. No two websites should share identical verbiage.

5. Coordination. KickCharge is a full-service marketing agency that prides itself in being a brand ambassador for clients. That means it ensures a company's brand is at the forefront and implemented consistently across all platforms. KickCharge clients know their special offers and seasonal promotions will be highlighted on all channels—social media, email, pay-per-click campaign, blog post and press release—when this agency is handling their digital marketing.

For small businesses that want a long-term digital marketing partnership with an agency that's fully invested in growing their business, KickCharge Creative can help them regain control, confidence and trust in their web presence. Contact KickCharge online today or call 908-835-9000 to learn more.

Four vehicle wraps wow HVACR Business magazine judges

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2018 -- The high-energy team at KickCharge Creative keeps lighting up the marketing world—most recently as a four-time winner in the June 2018 HVACR Business magazine's Tops in Trucks Fleet Design Contest.

Owner Dan Antonelli and his team have earned more than 10 first-place awards in this annual contest along with top honors in many other prestigious contests. The vehicle wrap and fleet branding work of this charged-up NJ web design company has appeared on the cover of SignCraft Magazine more times than any other ad agency. Plus, no other company in the world has collected more awards than KickCharge Creative's team.

The winners in the latest contest were: Colonial Plumbing, Heating & Air (first place), HVAC Unlimited (runner up), Shaw's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing (runner up) and Rogers Heating & Cooling (honorable mention).

James Kester, owner of Colonial Plumbing, Heating & Air, told HVACR Business that the company's return on investment has been off the charts since the company's 11 newly designed vehicles hit the streets.

"We can tell that the vehicles are doing a great job of being a driving billboard for us as well because we have stayed extremely busy even during times that used to be a bit slow for us," Kester said.

He also described an unexpected benefit: recruitment. Kester said he was surprised and pleased to see the number of applicants for technicians climb, and he attributes it to the new vehicles.

"The vehicles look so professional and we are so excited that other technicians in the area want to join our team!" Kester said.

John Cunningham, president of HVAC Unlimited, told HVACR Business that his company's bold new look is paying off, including an increase in the number of walk-in customers.

"Our install department is booked out five weeks right now. I don't think we've ever had that before," Cunningham said.

These are just some of the powerful results KickCharge Creative's vehicle wrap and fleet design work is achieving for its clients. This company's eye-catching designs with easy-to-read messaging spark success and accelerate growth by promoting a company's brand and disrupting the marketplace.

Digital marketing dominates, but don’t skip professional print tools

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2018 -- Savvy business owners know the digital marketplace is where they'll find the greatest opportunity for growth. Investing in pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization, social media and email marketing will generate the most leads in a cost-effective, timely manner. But that doesn't mean print is dead. Print collateral still plays an important role in the sales process and customer relationship management.

KickCharge Creative is a branding and marketing agency for small businesses that specializes in arming home service contractors with distinctive logos and sales tools that disrupt their markets, crush their competition and make their customers feel confident. Businesses that have relied on the NJ web design company for well-branded print collateral, too, have reported increased sales and higher conversion rates.

Direct mail pieces and door hangers can be effective tools for reaching new customers in a company's service area. KickCharge Creative writes and designs these to make strong brands shine, so that they stand out and pique the interest of homeowners who need the contractor's service now or expect they'll need it sometime in the near future. Including a special offer can entice them to try a new company for the first time.

Brochures and pocket folders with informative sell sheets make service technicians' jobs easier. Print collateral empowers them to make sales. For example, a technician visiting someone's home to make a repair can hand the customer a trifold brochure detailing the company's maintenance program. KickCharge clients say more customers sign up for maintenance agreements when they have a branded brochure that presents the options and benefits. Equipping technicians with a leave-behind helps pave the way for long-term relationships with customers; they are more likely to remember the company and call again the next time they need a service.

Print advertisements, sales brochures, stationery and other print media are additional opportunities to ensure consistent branding and messaging in a company's market. KickCharge Creative is an expert in creating tools from vehicle advertising to business cards that help contractors establish a solid, trustworthy reputation and keep their brand top of mind in a competitive marketplace.

Tune in Thursday for branding advice straight from KickCharge Creative President Dan Antonelli

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2018 -- Driving through any town, service vehicles pass by with little fanfare. Their plain coloring and barely legible lettering demand no attention. The owner of any business with trucks that blend in with traffic is missing thousands of opportunities every day to turn heads. If a company's brand is weak, it struggles to stand out, get noticed and be remembered.

For service contractors in competitive markets, fitting in is failed marketing. Instead, they should embrace branding that disrupts the marketplace and wins new leads. What does that mean and how is it done? KickCharge Creative, the small business marketing agency with Powerful Marketing Solutions®, can answer those questions. KickCharge is the nation's leading expert in branding small and mid-sized contracting businesses and also excels in brand-centric HVAC website design and much more. Dan Antonelli, the branding guru at the agency's helm, is sharing advice and success stories during a webinar 2 p.m. Thursday, March 15, 2018.

Tune in to Antonelli's webinar to learn the best advice available on branding—what works and what doesn't work. He will share the secrets of what makes a good HVAC brand and why being "disruptive" is a winning strategy. Antonelli will share remarkable before and after images of brands that KickCharge has transformed and describe how sales skyrocketed for clients who flipped the switch and plugged into this branding energy force.

Trademark Infringement Runs Rampant in Service Industry

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/13/2018 -- The owner of a small or medium-sized business who invests in crafting a custom brand might not consider the possibility that another company would steal it. But it happens, and it's impossible to prevent. That's why companies need to make sure they are not using stolen artwork or words and are protecting their investments in their new brands.

KickCharge Creative is a plumbing and HVAC marketing agency that specializes in branding service contractors and has seen the perpetrators of copyright and trademark infringement steal its expertly crafted work. Its clients can rest assured that:

- KickCharge has an in-house creative team that writes and designs all content and graphics from scratch. On the contrary, crowdsourcing websites and overseas vendors cannot guarantee their clients are getting original work.

- The agency searches the U.S. trademark database to ensure the company names that its content team develops are not already under trademark conducts web searches to explore whether they're already in use in the client's market or industry.

- KickCharge refers all of its brand clients to a trademark attorney to secure a trademark on names and completed logos. This protection against theft is important in case another company uses the same name or artwork illegally. A trademark gives the company the power to force the copycat to cease and desist.

- KickCharge has its clients' backs when brand theft is discovered, whether it's a logo or a web design by this NJ agency. It supports efforts to pursue infractions.

Dan Antonelli, the founder and president of KickCharge Creative, is quoted in an article in the Feb. 5 edition of ACHR News about the importance of protecting a company's brand. The story cites experiences of HVAC contractors that KickCharge has branded and also includes comments from Nexstar Network marketing manager Ed Cerier.

Their anecdotes share a common theme: It's better to be safe than sorry.

A brand KickCharge Creative designed recently was stolen by a crowdsourcing site and sold to another HVAC company. That contractor used the stolen brand on all of their materials, including four new truck wraps. When the theft was discovered, they were forced to remove all of the wraps, costing them more than $15,000.

Businesses in all industries benefit from strong, customized branding. When they embark on this journey, it requires a significant investment to do it right—one they should protect.

To learn more about branding and to ensure ownership of logo design, graphics, content and website development, call KickCharge Creative today at 800.836.4666 or contact the team online.

KickCharge Creative Handles Everything From Logo Design to Digital Marketing

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/03/2018 -- When planning for the year ahead, companies define their business goals and budgets. The start of a new year is also a good time to consider how process improvements and vendor partners can support growth. Efficiency can help businesses be more effective by saving time and freeing up financial assets for other needs. One way small and medium-sized businesses can streamline their operations is by hiring a full-service marketing firm to handle all components of their branding and advertising in a consistent manner.

Working with multiple vendors requires more frequent communication and coordination that taxes busy managers. When one agency can handle all marketing efforts, companies enjoy many benefits. KickCharge Creative is an agency that prides itself on specializing in all aspects of marketing for small businesses—from branding to web design to digital marketing—so its clients can focus on running their businesses.

As a full-service firm, KickCharge can operate like an in-house marketing department for its clients. Developing a long-term relationship ensures a company's marketing experts understand its history, priorities, specialties, challenges and audience. Past efforts become opportunities to learn and improve. Most importantly, a trusted marketing agency will know its client's brand and how to make it come to life boldly and consistently.

When a business has a strong relationship with its marketing agency, one simple message can spur the team into action to deploy multiple, complementary tactics. For example, a new coupon or special offer will get posted on the company's website, touted in a blog post and/or press release that supports its search engine optimization (SEO) campaign, highlighted in the monthly email newsletter and promoted on social media. The client has synergy with its agency, and the agency's experts across its departments work in sync to execute all of the tactics that will ensure an effective campaign.

KickCharge Creative supports several clients across the country in this way, with a complete arsenal of marketing tools that work together to help the companies meet their goals. To learn more about how companies rely on KickCharge to manage all of their marketing needs, call the New Jersey agency today at 800.836.4666 or visit its website.

Marketing agency’s home inspires collaboration and creativity for its clients

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2017 -- A thriving 22-year-old marketing agency specializing in branding and web design that serves small and medium-sized businesses across the country has outgrown its old name and its office space—but it remains committed to its rural community.

Graphic D-Signs, a fixture on Route 31 since 2007, has moved to a new, custom-designed, 5,300-square-foot building just a half-mile away at 349 Route 31 South, Suite 100, Washington, NJ.

The award-winning agency also adopted a new brand in July, changing its name to KickCharge® Creative to better reflect its capabilities and energetic, 20-person team of project managers, designers, copywriters and developers.

Dan Antonelli, a nationally recognized brand expert and author, started the business in 1995 in his basement (also in Washington Township). Today, his team creates logos, designs vehicle advertising (also known as truck wraps), writes and designs brochures and other print collateral, is known as an expert in web design in NJ and beyond, and manages digital marketing campaigns, including search engine optimization, pay-per-click, email newsletters and social media.

The agency serves a variety of clients, from retailers to landscapers to medical providers, but the majority of companies that rely on KickCharge to spark their marketing success are service contractors such as HVAC businesses and plumbers.

KickCharge Creative's new home is designed to foster collaboration and creativity and offers room to expand. It boasts plenty of natural light and off-street parking, a large conference room, smaller meeting spaces, a centralized open-concept workspace and amenities, such as a fully equipped kitchen.

In the same way the marketing collateral KickCharge produces for its clients is boldly branded and consistently implemented, the agency's new brand lives prominently throughout the customized space from the wall graphics and paint colors to the chairs and flooring patterns.

"For seven years, I passed that piece of vacant land every day I drove to work," Antonelli said. "Once I got the idea to build a new office there for my growing company, I couldn't wait to make the dream into a reality.

"I knew we needed a bigger space, but I never considered leaving this area because it's my home now," said the Staten Island, NY, native. "I have roots here, and I truly believe it's a good place to raise my family and for my employees to raise theirs."

Andrew L. Hicks Jr. Foundation is changing young lives

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/11/2017 -- The team at KickCharge® Creative understands the importance of giving back in order to make communities stronger, better places to live, work and play. That's why this small marketing company with the big heart donates its creative muscle to charitable events and organizations whenever it can.

The Andrew L. Hicks Foundation is one of those organizations. It was established by Andy and Karen Hicks of West Chester, PA, to honor the life and values of their 17-year-old firstborn child. Andrew died tragically in 2010 when he slipped and fell from a mountain slope while hiking with his family during a California vacation. The foundation provides various programs for young people in Chester, PA, that focus on fun, responsibility, service, integrity and leadership. Students from Henderson High School, Andrew's alma mater, and the West Chester community are involved in the effort, including mentoring students in Chester. The bond between KickCharge (then Graphic D-Signs) and the foundation was forged at the start when the small business marketing firm, which specializes in web design in NJ and beyond, designed the foundation's logo and created its website free of charge.

As the foundation's mission and scope expanded, its website needed to grow, too. So, earlier this year, the web design company from NJ redesigned and developed a bold new look for andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org with added features to enhance the user experience. The new website provides quick, easy access to information about programs and events and makes it easy to donate, volunteer or get involved with the Andrew L. Hicks Jr. Foundation in other ways.

One of the new features is a "Lives Changed" section on the home page where volunteers and participants share their personal stories about the powerful impact the foundation has had on them.

As part of the most recent effort, KickCharge also created logos for three foundation initiatives: Warrior Guides, Rise and Launch. KickCharge created the new logos to include meaningful symbolism. They establish unique identities for each program while, at the same time, connecting them to the Andrew L. Hicks Jr. brand.

"We are extremely grateful for everything (KickCharge) has done for us, including inventing the Warrior Guides, Rise and Launch logos," the foundation said in announcing its redesigned website.

KickCharge is proud of its partnership with an organization that is committed to helping young people grow into strong, responsible, caring, involved adults.

Washington, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/13/2017 -- Owners of small and medium-sized companies know they need a strong digital presence to be competitive, but many do not understand how to quantify or grow the business they generate online. Fortunately, they don't need to guess or assume their website is doing its job; digital data is available to tell the story.
