a honey of a project… make that two projects

by Pat Fagan - Monday, August 16th, 2010

When Heaven Hill Distilleries foresaw the growing trend toward flavored spirits, they put their best minds together to determine the product categories, flavorings and formulations. Once those decisions had been made, and the development began, Keller Crescent Advertising was assigned to design the bottles and labeling.

Two new products were to be introduced, Evan Williams Honey Reserve and Christian Brothers Honey. Both brands — Evan Williams (a Bourbon) and Christian Brothers (a Brandy) — have strong shelf presence and a loyal following. Given that, we thought it best to maintain conformity with their current bottles.

As for the labeling…

we hear voices

by Pat Fagan - Monday, August 16th, 2010


Sam Elliott, Tim Kazurinsky, Richard Karn, and David Pasquesi all have something in common — something other than great talent, Hollywood accolades/awards, a growing list of screen credits, and nagging, persistent paparazzi.

They have all lent their voices to our agency, Keller Crescent Advertising, to promote the products and services of our growing client roster — some more than once.

play it again, sam

Sometimes you have to go with your gut, even if it means defying convention.

Ellis Park (Henderson, KY), ranked 6th for best wagering by the Horseplayers Association of North America, recently selected Keller Crescent Advertising to promote its 87th season of thoroughbred horse racing.

Serious local horseplayers need little or no encouragement to show up on race day. If the horses are running, the purses attractive, a huge percentage of them will be there. Targeting this loyal group is not an efficient way to spend.

To boost attendance in 2010, Ellis Park and Keller Crescent Advertising developed a marketing strategy to attract a more diverse audience — entire families — by offering a series of special events including trick riders, camel and ostrich races, and giveaways, much of which are part of a conventional marketing program.

Where Keller Crescent Advertising has departed from the norm is in its Creative.

How so?

keller crescent advertising develops website for SITEX

by keller crescent - Friday, July 9th, 2010

When SITEX Corporation needed a new website, they didn’t spare the ambition. They wanted the site to be fun, informative, and engaging. They wanted to build bridges to their social media presence and create multiple opportunities to connect with their customers and potential employees. Most importantly, the site had to be simple to maintain by their busy marketing staff.

Keller Crescent Advertising was pleased to jump on this opportunity to extend the branding we created for SITEX to their web presence. Our design team broke new ground, adding a unique feature that lets you choose the background theme of the site to your favorite stripes, spots, or feathers. Our programming staff worked hard to develop solutions that turn the administrative side of their site into a nerd-free zone. It’s a pleasure working with SITEX Corporation, and the results show what happens when a great partnership is formed between a business and their agency. Check it out at: http://www.sitex-corp.com

LMH Leverages the Web for Fundraising

by Dustin Cline - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Logansport Memorial Hospital (LMH) embraces the web as an important tool in their marketing arsenal and they are finding exciting new ways to use their organization’s website as part of their marketing, community outreach, and fundraising initiatives.

In 2009, Keller Crescent Advertising assisted LMH with a complete redesign of their organization’s website. More recently, Keller Crescent developed a custom event registration system for the Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation’s annual Golf Outing. As their biggest fundraiser of the year, LMH wanted to make it easy for participants to register for the event, become sponsors, and donate gifts.

The process is complex because of the many options presented to registrants. Keller Cresent’s task was to make it simple, flexible, and error-free. The solution is a custom component written for Joomla, LMH’s content management system.  In just two weeks time, Keller Crescent was able to design and deliver this tailor-made solution. Take a look for yourself – and consider becoming a participant or sponsor.

You can see the custom solution and register for the golf event by visiting

by Tim Piazza - Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

It’s no simple task to describe the many services of Industrial Contractors, Incorporated. This Evansville, Indiana-based commercial contractor fabricates custom equipment for factories, builds schools and power plants, and manages facilities of all sorts. Complexity often leads to confusion, and ICI wanted a way to tell their story simply and elegantly, letting their work do much of the talking for them.

Keller Crescent Launches Hospital Web Portal

by Tim Piazza - Monday, November 16th, 2009

Logansport Memorial Hospital came to Keller Crescent Advertising with an ambitious goal–create a new web portal that incorporates branding, community outreach, patient services, events registration, e-commerce, career development, and many other goals. It had to be flexible, easy to edit and use, and expandable. It had to provide a way for employees to make updates, and it had to integrate with the hospital’s marketing campaigns. We jumped at the chance and are pleased to share our results.

The new website, located at www.logansportmemorial.org provides visitors with a friendly website that is loaded with information and services. In just the past month, the site has received more than 10,000 visitors and the audience is growing. Hospital staff members are thrilled to have a website they can manage themselves without fear of messing up the code that keeps the site running and looking good. Employees working in various departments of of Logansport Memorial Hospital add photos of newborn babies, publish news articles, post career opportunities and review job applications, schedule events, and sell gift shop items through the site.

It was critical to build a site that is easy to maintain without specialized training or skills. It also needed to be search engine friendly and easy to integrate with other marketing campaigns that change regularly throughout the year. We accomplished all of those goals and more. Logansport Memorial Hospital’s website is rapidly becoming a top Indiana hospital website.

Healthcare Marketing Partnership

Keller Crescent is partnering with a physician and three medical facilities to promote a new breast cancer treatment option.  Mammofocus is a break-through radiation treatment of breast cancer; treatment time is reduced from seven weeks to five days, and only one treatment per day.  Dr. Robert Woodburn, with the Cancer Treatment Group, is the pioneer.  Dr. Woodburn provides the treatment regimen at three facilities, Methodist Hospitals-Merrillville, IN; Provena St. Joseph Medical Center, Joliet, IL; and Kankakee Radiation Oncology, IL.  The hospital-based facilities are working with us to market this new procedure.

Keller Crescent’s radio spot will run in the greater Chicago area and we have created a Mammofocus website to better explain the treatment option.  Search engine marketing is also a part of the plan.  We are excited to be a part of this breakthrough treatment and look forward to positive results for our clients.
