Web Presence

At Energy Energy Design we launched our first website for Alain Pinel Realtors back in 1993. Like many agencies we have become more and more immersed in digital media. We have realized that companies are looking for new ways to get a strong web presence that they cannot get with a traditional web development company. We have been creating truly customized web experiences that are integrated into social media with a strong branding strategy. More to come…


Re-branding a startup

At Energy Energy Design we work with many global brands and we also work with many startups. I personally love to work with executive teams who are entrepreneurial and invested in creating meaningful results. We just completed a website and visual brand for iCharts a cloud-based platform to produce visual interactive reports from research data. The website was built in WordPress which allows the client to easily update content.


Ballet San Jose Showcases New Branding in Its 2010-2011 Season Brochure

Ballet San Jose Showcases New Branding in Its 2010-2011 Season Brochure Designed by Energy Energy
Custom Photography and Illustration Captures Ballet’s Beauty and Athleticism

LOS GATOS, California, November 5, 2010 – Energy Energy Design, a leading Bay Area design consultancy, today announced that it has delivered the subscription brochure in celebration of the Ballet San Jose’s 25th Anniversary Season. A world-class, classically-based ballet company, Ballet San Jose initiated a re-branding project in 2009 that elevated the company’s marketing materials to match the world-class reputation of the Ballet San Jose itself. The new season brochure represents the first large printed piece to highlight the new brand image.

Energy art directed a photoshoot with noted San Francisco photographer R.J. Muna, the Ballet’s costume designer, and dancers to highlight the beauty and athleticism of the ballet. Photography was also re-used on the Ballet’s web site to create brand consistency and preserve the visual richness characteristic of the Ballet’s tremendous history and innovation.

“We were delighted to work with the dancers and be able to visually capture the stories of this season’s performances and to draw open the curtain on the Ballet’s new brand,” said Leslie Guidice, founder and principal of Energy Energy Design. “We designed the brochure using R.J. Muna’s phenomenal performance photography and custom illustration for a visually compelling piece that will excite recipients about the season’s program.”

Energy initially refreshed the Ballet’s visual identity and web site home page in 2009, as well as developed easy-to-use design templates that enable the Ballet to cost-effectively produce tickets, programs, and other marketing materials in house. The agency also maintains an on-call relationship with the Ballet to provide specialized assistance when needed.

Energy Energy Launches New Corporate Identity and Site for Thoits Insurance
Site Enables Thoits to Achieve Key Corporate Goals

LOS GATOS, California, November 9, 2009 – Energy Energy Design, a leading Bay Area design consultancy, today announced that it played a key role in enabling Thoits Insurance, a regional California employee-owned insurance brokerage, to accelerate its achievement of critical corporate goals. Thoits chose Energy’s Visual Branding Package to deliver a brand refresh, which was recently launched and has already delivered measurable business results.

Thoits chose to refresh its brand in conjunction with a move of its corporate headquarters to San Jose, California, the appointment of a new chief executive officer, and a new recruiting campaign to attract top insurance sales talent. The Energy Visual Branding Package included a new corporate identity, business system, web site, lead generation and landing page package, and print advertising. The new brand was accompanied by new messaging that emphasizes company’s unique employee-ownership structure and its commitment to its clients’ success. Since Thoits’ debut with its new look and feel, the firm has already filled two producer positions, increased its visibility in the greater San Jose area, and received media coverage.

“We enjoyed working through the creative process with Energy,” said Paul Saich, chief executive officer for Thoits. “Our new look has increased our site traffic significantly and as a result, we are being viewed very positively.”

The company’s new web site features a bold new logo, typography, and imagery, which deliver a strong impact in an industry traditionally known for its conservative image. Thoits can also easily update the site itself, thanks to an easy-to-use content management solution. Energy also developed a print ad template that the company is able to re-use with new content as needed.

“Thoits is a great example of how updating an organization’s brand can inject fresh energy and build market momentum, even in a traditional industry,” said Leslie Guidice, founder and principal of Energy Energy Design. “The goal is to stand out from your competitors, and we are delighted that Thoits chose us and allowed us to help them make such a bold statement.”
