MARKHAM, ON - July 11, 2007 – Marking the 100th anniversary of Scouts Canada, the 2nd International Troop based out of Calgary, Alberta got involved with CAWST, a Canadian non-profit organization that provides training and technical consulting in water and sanitation to organizations that serve those who do not have access to clean drinking water in developing countries. Through this project the troop constructed a biosand filter and incorporated it into a display about water awareness, in hopes of educating people about water treatment methods.

“In most developing countries most children die before they reach five years of age due to the lack of clean drinking water,” stated Scott Suvanto, leader of the 2nd International Calgary troop. “We want to help them [CAWST] to help others, and this initiative allows us to spread awareness about this important cause.”

The biosand filter, a simple, effective household water treatment technology, consists of a concrete container, enclosing layers of sand and gravel whose purpose is to eliminate pathogens from water. Placed inside the homes of developing nations in areas where food is prepared, the filter provides 0.6 liters of water per minute. Of the three filters built by the troop, two will be used at a nearby scout nature learning centre in addition to a training program on what people can do so they don’t pollute the environment. The display made will be showcased at the upcoming 2007 Centennial Project Scout Jamboree in England; a chance for the scouts to network and share their knowledge with 3,500 other youths in attendance.

Artisan contributed to the project by building the cloroplast display, a replication of the filter framework and a tool that houses information on water awareness. Artisan is proud to participate in such an innovative and proactive solution to environmental challenges.

MARKHAM - May 23, 2007 – As part of the must-attend conference and tradeshow for the Canadian marketing industry, Artisan was presented with the Best Product Display honour for showcasing the organizations capabilities in retail merchandising strategy, products and services.

“For more than 30 years, Artisan has worked with brands, retailers and agencies to provide retail communications solutions that help them display and promote products to consumers. It stands to reason that we should be able to do the same for our products and services,” says Director of Sales & Marketing, Kris Matheson.

Brand marketers attending the show were attracted to the Artisan exhibit because of the focus on the retail environment as a marketing medium where consumer-targeted messaging can be relevant and actionable. Of special interest was the number of digital screen integrated initiatives from Artisan Live, the digital signage specialist within Artisan Complete. Receiving particular attention was the RFID-enabled kiosk, allowing shoppers to interact with both merchandised products and custom content on a touch screen interface. “Artisan Live is actively working with retailers, brands, advertisers and venues to utilize dynamic digital media for consumer-centric communications in the retail and out-of-home environments,” adds Matheson.

MARKHAM - March 30, 2007 – Artisan Complete provided sponsor decals to the Unionville High School Robotics Team (UHSRT) this year, as they competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).

The annual event challenges teams of high school students from around the globe to solve a problem using a standard kit and common set of rules in a six week time period. Teams build robots from the parts and this year they competed in a Rack N’ Roll game. The objective was to place as many game pieces in vertical or horizontal rows as possible on a central goal structure. Teams are rewarded for excellence in design, team spirit, professionalism and maturity, and their ability to overcome obstacles.

The hardest thing in creating the robot according to one UHSRT member was, “coming up with a design that was plausible and efficient, yet simplistic enough to build with the resources that we were given.”

After competing in regional events, winning teams move on to the Championship in Atlanta where they compete against approximately 350 groups. Since forming in 1995, the UHSRT has won numerous honours including the coveted President’s Award in 1999.

“Artisan Complete is always happy to assist as part of their ongoing efforts to support those in the local community,” states Director, Sales & Marketing Kris Matheson. “This was a great competition that fosters creativity, innovation and academic excellence for the hard working and talented students involved.”

Being socially responsible is one of Artisan Complete’s core values and its employees give generously on a regular basis through charitable donations and participation in fundraising events.

The contest offers the winner a flat screen TV, one $500 shopping spree from Bluenotes, the opportunity to have their winning spot shown on the Bluenote's website and the opportunity for an interview for a full-time motion graphics designer position with the Artisan Live team.

The entries or solutions were judged based on their relevance of the solution to the posed challenge, the originality of the solution, the quality of the design, the cost efficiency of solution, the clarity of the message, and the designers' adherence to the Bluenotes' brand. Mike Brown, Managing Director of Artisan Live and Frank Valeriani, Director of Marketing for Bluenotes were the judges of the competition.

"The entries were creative and innovative in their execution and displayed a variety of talent and different perspectives on a single theme", explained Brown. "Overall, we were impressed with the effort put forth by the students.

The contest enabled Bluenotes' target demographic to create the content that would appear on the website where they shopped. It provided a fresh perspective as to how consumers viewed the brand and gave them the power to dictate what information they wanted to see.

Julius Manalo, a 4th year Integrated Media Major with the Ontario College of Art and Design is the winner. Julius animated photos from Bluenotes' Spring Break photo shoot and used quick cuts between shots and a dynamic and bright background to create a sense of aliveness. Floral illustrations and spring colours tied the whole theme together into one cohesive piece.

Judges thought the entry was clever, easy to follow, produced excitement around the Bluenotes brand, and kept in line with the company's style guidelines.
