Design

With over 30 years experience in the advertising and digital business, we live and breathe design. Over the course of our career, we have designed everything from business cards to National retail campaigns for one-person operations to multi-national corporations like Procter & Gamble and Anheuser-Busch.

Copywriting

Part of our Branding expertise has always included the ability to understand and communicate in each Brand’s unique voice. We have written some very memorable copy over the years, including the line “Be yourself, only better.” for Premier Fitness. It started out as a billboard headline and became their brand pillar.

Banner Ads

We have been creating banner ads since they were invented back in 1994. We’ve seen them evolve from tiny, pixelated GIFs, to fully-animated Flash experiences to beautifully animated HTML5 ads that work on virtually every device. We have created thousands of banner ads and are fully IAB and Google Ads compliant.

Print

Design 2.0 was originally started as a fully digital design studio. But, there is still a big demand for print design out there and we got pulled back in. And then we remembered how much we loved doing print work and wondered why we ever stopped. Now, we do all of chatr mobile’s retail signage and are ready for more!

Social Media

Creating social media posts is one of our core services and quite possibly our favourite thing to do. It combines everything we’re good at… design, copywriting, animation, understanding Brand character, managing deadlines and staying organized. We live for social media engagements, so let’s start talking about yours.

Email Design & Coding

Email is a critical part of every Brand’s marketing strategy. We have been creating powerful email campaigns for our clients for many years. Our expertise spans design, writing and HTML coding of the emails. We run them through Litmus to maximize consistency as much as possible across platforms and email clients.

Application Expertise

“

I consider myself very lucky to work with such a fantastic company. Rick and the team at Design 2.0 are completely focused on delivering an excellent website, from start to finish. Everything from the easy to apply, yet savvy brand standards to the sometimes finicky details of the onboarding of a new customer. Even the complete integration of automated emails for our new customers. His team took care of everything. Each and every aspect of the build was dealt with quickly, professionally, and with excellence. I continue to work with Design 2.0 and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Rick and team!

Rick and Chelsey at Design 2.0. are a small but mighty team: knowledgeable, nimble, creative and super organized. They’ve worked against many aggressively optimistic project deadlines and always delivered on time and on budget. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with them – they really felt like an extension of our team and not just an external vendor or supplier.

Rick is a pioneer in the digital realm. He has been enthusiastic about its possibilities since I met him, which was so long ago that the word google was still just a math term. He has retained a boundless joy for this medium and has delivered outstanding results for us on dozens of projects over the years. I trust him with all my digital babies.
