D’Addario, a renowned manufacturer of musical instrument strings and accessories for more than 125 years, needed an interim Chief Digital Officer to evaluate, plan, and begin a digital transformation to drive future performance of its customer- and channel-facing digital properties.
The CDO role encompassed a year-long project starting with design and buy-in of a transformation roadmap, the selection of future platforms, negotiating with and hiring strategic, design, development partners—and ultimately migrating to a modern e-commerce, CMS, PIM and CRM platform that integrated elegantly with D’Addario’s legacy systems.

To expand consumer perceptions of General Electric beyond being “the light-bulb company,” GE produced monthly home-page stories that spotlighted real-world innovation. This content portrayed a global company making a human impact with technologies ranging from photovoltaic systems (solar energy) to diagnostic imaging for early disease detection.
Videos, animation, digital applications and other media brought these stories to life through the lens of GE’s Process, Technology, and the People behind the breakthroughs. (Agency partner: VSA Partners).
Hold the microphone. Embrace the lifestyle.
It’s not a microphone, it’s a lifestyle.
Sometimes, the most compelling brands can be undone by complex product experiences. For Shure, known for its standard-setting microphones and one of the world’s premier audio electronics manufacturers, this meant a need to bring logic and manageability to users of their primary consumer and channel site.
While unifying, elevating and energizing the brand online was a priority, the solution below the surface required a categorical redefinition of 1,500-plus products within 30 distinct product groupings, aligned with customer needs and mindsets. This rearchitecting made Shure’s online products more navigable, relevant and consistently expressed—and designed to grow and scale to the requirements of markets in 25 different countries.
