No Borders. No Boundaries. All Ball.

Basketball is more global than ever. International stars light up the NBA while NBA stars try their hand overseas. With fans in countries all over the world, a streetball tour (AND 1 Live) that brings the game to packed arenas and high school gyms, and a product line that represents the culture of the game,
AND 1’s reach extends as far as any.

Frank Creative's most recent print ads for the basketball brand speak directly to its international appeal. Because on every court, in every country, AND 1 is All Ball.

Going Gospel

When your gospel music group is asked to sing for Maya Angelou, you start singing. When Maya Angelou inspires you enough to write a song for her, you start writing. And when that gospel music group needs help visualizing that particular song, you start designing.

Frank Creative and Stump’d Design gave The Brown Sisters the creative help they needed with custom album art for their new release Rainbow in the Clouds – an original song written for Maya Angelou.

They recently presented this new album with custom cover to their lifelong inspiration. And as always, Frank was proud to be part of the project.

Frank promotes peace by turning axes into trees.

For our latest Friends of Trees billboard campaign, we looked to an unlikely source: Timbers' fans wielding axes. You know what we mean if you've been to Portland in the last year. We are Friends of Trees features the work of local artist Amy Ruppel to mimic the iconic portraits of Timbers' Army fans- only in the same illustrative style as the ongoing Plant it Portland campaign, also by Amy. They're a fun way for Friends of Trees to acknowledge their partnership with the Portland Timbers and the fact they share many of the same, passionate fans. See, we can all get along. The campaign breaks Oct. 17. Oh, and remember you can give, plant, or volunteer at friendsoftrees.org.

From the Hi-Tec Hook & Bullet Lounge...

Industry insiders often have to sit through countless product demonstration videos that all sound the same. Why? Because for some reason companies don't mind being boring. But at the Hi-Tec Hook & Bullet Lounge, we offer you a less boring alternative to all things product driven.

Make sure you visit the Hi-Tec booth at Outdoor Retailer this week (August 4-7) to check out the first three installments of the Hook & Bullet Lounge Hi-TecKnowledgy Series. Because you have the right to know about the sciencey stuff in your shoes.

And while you're in town, hang out with the Frank and Hi-Tec team during the Hook & Bullet Lounge Beer and Gear Event. As we all know, if you're going to raise money and give away gear, you might as well be drinking a beer.


If you can't make it to Salt Lake for Outdoor Retailer, here's a Hi-TecKnowledgy Series sneak peek. Enjoy.

Dawg Terrace Gets Some Bite

There's standing out and then there's making sure you get noticed. Story House Properties wanted to make sure their new dog-centric apartment building didn't get lost in the guerrilla marketing shuffle. So Frank designed aggressively-bold postcards that are sure to catch your eye.

The truth is out there...

It took a little digging, but Frank discovered the truth behind the HI-TEC Liquid Mountaineering video, and it all revolves around ion-mask. This archived footage reveals the waterproof technology like you've never seen it before. And we're delivering it to you because everyone has the right to know about the sciencey stuff in their shoes.

Frank Orbits Laughing Planet (good work discovered)

Laughing Planet, Portland's eclectic Cafe of Goodness, is opening yet another incredible location in Corvallis.

Be on the lookout for the new Laughing Planet at PSU- and new creative! You can bet the fresh ingredients and inspired menu will be popular there, too.

Hello from a Distance!

The Hello Foundation wanted to introduce its Distance Service to potential clients. So Frank created a fun and engaging video that brings The Hello Foundation website to life while demonstrating the unique teaching model.
