Holiday Spirit

This holiday season, the kitestringers thought it would be best to give to those who are most deserving of holiday spirit in our community. One of the ways we’re doing this is by sponsoring a family’s holiday gifts through the local Children’s Aid Society. Just this week we told the ages and interests of the children we will be wrapping presents for in a few short weeks. We’re so excited to make this the best holiday ever for a family we’ve never met!

What Was I thinking?!

Launching on October 1st, the “What Was I Thinking?!” Contest asks small businesses in the area to enter their worst design and marketing muck-ups for a chance to be voted winners of the grand prize; estimated at $15,000 of kitestring creative marketing + design’s services.

Maybe you know someone who should enter. Like a new entrepreneur that doesn’t like to give out their business card because they were designed in their parent’s basement by a brother who swears by youtube tutorials. Or a new business owner who has gone though the branding process and came out the other end with nothing but chaos and confusion. That is who should enter this contest. Contest entry closes on October 15th. The following week, the shortlisted entrants will be up for a public round of online voting to decide who is most deserving of the “What Was I Thinking?!” grand prize.
