We ♥ acronyms!

2-Story is a WBE, DBE, SBE, WOBE and WOSB, FYI. Now, if you don’t know what the hay we’re talking about, then chances are these acronyms aren’t pertinent to you – at least at your current job. But, FWIW, for those of you who need a partner that can exceed expectations while helping meet a contract percentage … we just might be your new BFF.

2-Story is certified as the following:

    • City of Milwaukee
      Women Business Enterprise (WBE)
    • Milwaukee County’s Community Business Development Partners
      Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
    • Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District (MMSD)
      Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
    • Wisconsin Department of Administration
      Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WOBE)
    • Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)
      Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE)
      Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB)

 

At the EOD, of course, it’s all about being qualified, knowledgeable and experienced – which we certifiably are.

 

Creating CREO

Friday marks the third annual celebration of creativity put on by Mount Mary University fashion, fine art, graphic design and interior design students: CREO! And 2-Story is so proud to be a part of it – as an event sponsor and as a partner in its inception.

Mount Mary was looking to establish a unified and reputable artistic community among their students. In order to do so, they decided it was time for a bigger and better end-of-year showcase. This event would be held off-site and combine work from the various departments. They looked to us to help launch it.

First, it needed a name. CREO is Latin for “to create, make and produce,” and we developed its identity to capture a sophisticated, yet young, fresh and vibrant energy.

In the spirit of collaboration, we sat down with graphic design students to discuss our process and get their input. As the CREO brand was translated into an invitation, microsite, fliers and print ads, we incorporated student work from all four disciplines.

Three-peat!

The Milwaukee Brewers have been selected as the recipient of the
2014 National Sports Forum ADchievement Overall Award of Excellence – for the THIRD year in a row. We are tremendously proud of the work we do with the Club. This year, the campaign we created for the Brewers Community Foundation helped earn this honor, as well as accolades at the 2013 PromaxBDA Sports Media Marketing Awards in NYC this past November. Kudos to all involved!

Aw, shucks…

It’s always nice when our work gets noticed not only by our target audience –
but by others in the industry and our peers. Thanks to Rich Kirchen from the Milwaukee Business Journal for taking an interest in our campaign for the
YMCA.
