Fundraising Video Is Important to Marketing Strategy - Well Done Marketing

As an integrated marketing agency, our job often boils down to helping clients convey their purpose. That usually starts with two simple questions: Why do you exist? Why should anyone care? Getting this messaging exactly right is particularly important for nonprofits, because compelling and convincing answers to those questions could mean the difference between meeting their annual revenue goal or falling short.

Hancock Health - Cancer Campaign

As a regional leader in cancer care, Hancock Health is focused on making cancer a smaller part of patients' lives. To drive this message home, the cancer care campaign focuses on individual cancer patients, what makes them unique, what they're passionate about-and how cancer won't hold them back.

White River Vision Plan - Well Done Marketing

The White River flows for more than 162 miles through 42 Indiana counties, but until 2000, the river was largely neglected-and notorious for pollution. Fortunately, Hoosiers banded together to save this natural resource that now provides water to communities, powers...

Make it Electric: Energy Marketing Shouldn't Be Boring - Well Done Marketing

Let's face it: Most advertising is boring. There's a reason for that . And utility-industry advertising-that is, advertising for electric companies and gas companies and water companies and the like-is often boring. Which is weird to us. Because, when you think about it, what in your life is cooler than electricity?

Reactions to L.A. 2028's Olympics Logo - Well Done Marketing

With so much going on in the world-a global pandemic, a presidential election, and movements to achieve racial justice, just to name a few-we'll forgive you if the unveiling of the logo for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles flew under your radar last month. As creatives, we geek out on this stuff.

NUVO at 25: Browsing Indy's record stores

Much has changed in Indy and beyond over the last 25 years. Stock markets have crashed rebounded. Our sports teams have gone from bottom-feeders to title contenders and brawled in the interim. IU basketball has had nearly as many coaches as players (okay, that's an exaggeration, but you get the point.)

Album Review: Sonny and the Sunsets 'Longtime Companion'

It's early evening and you're bellied up to the bar at your favorite watering hole, The Longtime Companion. You like this place for its general state of disrepair that, in a certain light, could be mistaken for nostalgia. A layer of dust, about the thickness of a dime, appears to cover every inch of the...

MFT :: Say hello to ByBye

Winter was harsh in Indianapolis, a fact that's easily forgotten given the mild, spring sunshine that culminated in one of the more beautiful Memorial Day weekends in recent memory. Record snowfalls, blustery winds, sub-zero temperatures, and the fleeting tease of sunlight proved physically and emotionally trying for most, but fruitful for some.

One Release at a Time: The Rise of Local Micro-Labels

More and more musicians are pressing independent releases these days. They're forking over their own cash to fund albums that would otherwise never have seen the light of day. This is not news. What is news, however, is that many of these artists and entrepreneurs are beginning to put names on the entities behind those independent releases, leaving the door open for future endeavors.

Indiana Music Archive: Phil Reavis

Earlier this year, I wrote about an oddball collection of experimental home recordings from a mid-1980s Muncie four-piece called Three Black Shoes. The group was an offshoot of Muncie's No Bar scene, where Jon Rans served as the unofficial ringleader of this merry band of misfits.
