Envisionit Welcomes Senior Graphic Designer, Hannah!

New Envisionit Employee HannahIt’s not everyday someone as talented as Hannah comes by. She’s a self-taught designer with a writing and development background, working on concepting, designing, and occasionally coding creative projects with us. Sitting down and creating layouts, making graphics, brainstorming design strategy, and designing how user interactions work is why she loves being a designer. And though she’s got quite a bit of experience working on some major brands and organizations—Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Progresso, Aveda, Save the Children—she’s always finding ways to improve her design and create a meaningful user experience.

Our 15-second interview with Hannah:

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Fried goat cheese.

What’s a book you could read over and over again?
Pride and Prejudice.

Feeling On Top of it All with Two Awards for ROOF on theWit


As we close in on a year since launching the new ROOF on theWit website, we’re happy to announce that our hard work is being recognized by some of the top industry professionals. Last week we received two awards: the Summit International Marketing Effectiveness Award and the Best Leisure Website WebAward.

The WebAward signified our ability to not only deliver a best in class website design, but a site that communicated the overall goals and objectives of the ROOF team. After the site was launched, our web marketing team took over that vision, and worked with theWit to create and implement marketing programs that drove overall awareness, traffic, and conversions to the site using various digital channels. Again, we were able to create a best in class marketing program that has sustained ROOF through the cold winter months and prepped them for the best summer yet!

Congrats to everyone at EIM that worked on ROOF this past year, and congrats to our friends at theWit, as it was a collaborative effort that allowed us to achieve these successes.

We’re all moved in to our new space, and ready to expand!

As envisionit media grows as an agency (one of the fastest growing privately owned companies, in fact), expanding our portfolio and building our roster of talented, creative, strategic thinkers, so grows our space. We’ve expanded into two levels at our abode on Ohio Street, and are quite enjoying the leg, elbow and thinking room.

Opening up the upstairs office space has helped us improve collaboration, not only with our internal teams, but with our clients. Dedicated working spaces in this now 15,000 square foot office make quick meetings, video conferences, and working sessions easier than ever.

Take a look!

The Porch, below, is a sunny meeting room overlooking Ohio St., with plenty of seating space.

The Card Room seats about seven. It’s perfect for smaller meetings—or even the occasional game of lunchtime Hold’em.

The spaceship-looking Den is the latest in futuristic working sessions!

With our new space all set, and plans to grow to 45 full-time employees in the next year, we’re excited to continue expansion, collaborate with our clients, explore new business, and everything else that’s coming up!
