HearSay with Doug – Exploration and Energy

Creative Director Doug Murano knows a thing or two about storytelling. At HenkinSchultz, and as an accomplished writer and publisher, he explores new chapters every day and brings that experience to HS and our clients. What originally attracted you to the business of advertising and your role as Creative Director? I’m a big fan of the phrase, “Go where the energy is.” It prepares you to take chances   and end up in unexpected places. That’s another way of saying I just kind of fell into the world of marketing. Back in grad school, I failed to secure a teaching…

HearSay with Anne Allen

Like most people, Anne Allen wasn’t sure what she wanted to be when she grew up. Today, as Director of Client Services for HenkinSchultz, you could say she is the adult in the room when juggling her clients' expectations and the work required of the HS team. But that doesn’t stop her from bringing her signature fun, playful attitude to the office. What path did you take to enter the business of advertising and marketing?  I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I liked to write and I liked working with people.…

HearSay with Jason – 21 Years and Counting

If you’ve spent any time working with Jason Jellis and his fellow HS Sign Shop team members, words like humble, talented, knowledgeable and hard-working quickly come to mind. Since Jason has been an integral part of HS for the last 21 years, we asked him how he thinks about his two plus decades here.It's been 21 years at HS, do you remember exactly what you were doing 21 years ago? Wow, 21 years! Time flies when you're having fun. Twenty-one years ago I was just starting to soak in all things HS and I sat next to Lynell and Tammy…

HearSay with Kewley and Bart, HS Dog Contributors

We love to talk to our HS family about what they bring to the workplace. And since our dogs are like family, too, we thought HearSay should spend a little time talking to our couple favorite four-legged friends. So Kewley, you’ve been a regular at HS for a long time. What keeps you coming back? I’m a rare breed that I LOVE to be in meetings. And if that meeting is in the Pomp Room with a few dropped snack crumbs, all the better. What’s a typical workday look like for you? Supervising comes very naturally to me. When my…

HearSay with Jordan – Graphic DesignerStaff

HearSay with Jordan – Graphic Designer

To spend any time with talented HS designer Jordan Biehn is to recognize he is a man who primarily lets his work do the talking. And though of fewer words, this “stand up” guy took the time to expand on his many talents and interests. When did you first consider a career in design? I was a junior in high school and my baseball coach also taught our art class. I began drawing and he introduced me to Photoshop where I started designing posters and flyers for our school. If you had a design superpower, what would it be?  Endless…

HS Graphic Designers Share Tips on Creating Brand Guidelines

Branding is a word that gets thrown around a lot. Branding may refer to your name, reputation, marketing executions, appearance and more. While all these things are part of your brand, the most instantly recognizable part is how you represent yourself in design - particularly your logo and mark. But no design or new branding considerations should ever take place without understanding the overall marketing strategy required for that particular client. Who is the target? When and how is the target exposed to the brand? What mediums will be most used? What impressions do we want a viewer to walk…

HearSay with Molly—Content CreatorStaff

HearSay with Molly – Content Creator

Molly Lanfear shows no fear when it comes to her travels, the weather and how she approaches her job. We took some time to talk to Molly about her roots, her creative inspirations and how she puts them into every photograph and content creation project. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, how would you compare the weather?  When you grow up in Buffalo, you develop a "bring-it-on" kind of mentality about winter. Eight feet of snow? No problem. Four feet? That's just your average Tuesday. But the key is, it doesn't last. Buffalo has relatively warm winters, and when Lake Erie…

HearSay with Emily – Digital Marketing Director

The field of digital marketing is expansive and always changing, and when we need to know what’s next for our industry, we turn to our fearless digital marketing director, Emily Sorenson. She never backs down from a challenge (especially when it comes to cooking competitions at work), so we presented her with some hard-hitting questions to uncover more about her dynamic role at HS. Why do you like working in digital marketing? Oh goodness - that is a hard question to answer. I like to cook - so let’s think of it a little like planning a dinner. My favorite…

HearSay with Tammy – Graphic Designer

What design challenges do you welcome or enjoy? I think one of the challenges that brings me the most satisfaction is creating something awesome when there is minimal content or direction from our clients. Sometimes our clients just don’t know what they want or can’t put it into words, and, more often than not, we nail it! But sometimes we get, “That’s not even close…by a longshot!” (Emphasized by Tammy’s famous laugh) Besides design itself, what are some special skills you bring to your work? I would have to say…proudly…that I’ve been known as “the office physician.” This is probably…
