Large Format Printing….In-House!

Tags: ,

Our new large format printer.We at Encore Creative offer such a wide range of creative services and solutions, that it even amazes those of us who work here!

Add one more professional service to our event services portfolio. With the recent acquisition of a high-end Mutoh 64" large format printer, we're entering a new era in providing custom creative solutions for our clients and partners.

How will this work for you? The Mutoh is THE industry standard printer, the same type used by professional printing houses throughout the country, which makes it (and us) capable of designing and printing everything from conventional meeting signage to  banners and even vehicle wraps!  In conjunction  with our amazing graphic design team, we can now offer you near photo-quality, color-correct  output in practically any size….up to and including theatrical backdrops and wallpaper! 
For the more adventurous customer, our graphic and printing solutions will now extend to custom printed fabric-enabling us to personalize and brand a wide assortment of linen options, up to and including logos, photographs, or custom designs for your table treatments, skirting, or ceiling treatments.

Most importantly, as with linen, florals and our fabrication team, large-format custom printing will allow us to put together bigger and better "packages" and, in doing so, offer our customers much greater quality and value overall-especially  when compared to the cost of utilizing individual single-source vendors. 

Check it out and put us to the test.  We guarantee that we can match or beat any event production company's pricing on graphic design and high end large format printing.

Outside of the event production business, please contact us for bids on any type of retail signs, real estate signs, vehicle wraps or promotional event signage of any type.  Whether you have a golf tournament,  construction project, a fair, or real estate to sell, Encore Creative is now your source for creative solutions that will help you to promote your company more effectively than ever before!

Encore Creative in TV Partnership

Tags: ,

Encore Creative

Encore Creative and Triumphant Entertainment have joined to form TriEn, LLC, a company dedicated to producing high end television entertainment productions in Arizona as well as projects across the country.

The partnership brings together Cecil Chambers, CEO of Triumphant Pictures, and Jeff Lowy, President of Encore Creative. Chambers has been a standout in the film industry, producing the feature films Blood Moon Rising, The Crypt and Steppin: The Movie. With a foot in the music world as well, he’s worked with some it’s biggest names, including Destiny’s Child, Michael Jackson, Usher and Christina Aguilera. Jeff Lowy has been in the live entertainment and special event industry for over 30 years, and has produced events for numerous Fortune 500 companies.

The goal of TriEn is to not only produce high-quality entertainment at the local level, but to bring jobs and revenue to the many talented industry professionals of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The programming will be the first it’s kind, with existing Arizona produced programming being predominantly News and Sports related.

StoudemireCurrently there are several TriEn projects in pre-production, all to be shot in Arizona. Cooking With The Legends, produced in conjunction with a successful local startup company called Foodies Like Us, features legendary MLB, NBA and NFL players along with local chefs. The show is slated for a spot on NBA Entertainment Channel and the initial episodes will potentially include luminaries like Bob Lanier, Ricky Henderson, Lafayette "Fat" Lever as well as current players, such as Amare Stoudamire. Shooting begins in April at the Chef's Loft in Downtown Scottsdale.

Also, in production is the exercise video series Health and Wellness with Jackie Guerrido. Guerrido is a highly renowned Puerto Rican television and media personality, and the series will be produced in both English and Spanish, while a distribution deal is being discussed with Univision.

Additionally, TriEn has a teen-only talent show in pre-production, which will be the first of its kind on a major network or cable outlet; as well as "Big Tyme", a singing/talent show for adults for which the company is seeking corporate sponsorships and a high visibility venue. Newly signed TriEn recording artist Ja'nell Johnson is in the studio recording her first demo.

The Phoenix Business Journal has recently featured the new division of both Encore and Triumphant-the link can be found here.

Encore Creative at Parada del Sol

Tags: , , ,

Singin' Cowboy Encore Creative staff were on hand Saturday, providing sound production support for the annual Parada del Sol parade. Now in it's 57th year, the parade is a Scottsdale institution. This year, the spotlight was on breast cancer education, with the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign, the Pink Heals Tour Fire Trucks (which bear the signatures of breast cancer survivors), and Pink Street, a grouping of vendors and non-profits doing their part to provide information and support. The gloomy weather didn't prevent people from having a great time; As one MC said to the crowd, "That's not rain in the air, that's Scottsdale spirit!" We wish to thank our partners, and the public for making this event a success, and are looking forward to next years parade!

Taking Social Media by the Horns

Tags: ,

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is David Kellett, and I am the new coordinator of Online Content and Social Media with Encore Creative. I come to this position with a background in Website Design and Content Development, always with a finger on the pulse of Social Media Marketing.

With a solid Social Media campaign being a key component to any company’s online marketing strategy, you’d be amazed at how frequently it still remains an under-utilized, or even an altogether neglected, aspect of a company’s online presence.

We at Encore Creative are determined not to allow ourselves to fall into that category. We are dedicated to staying ahead of the curve with the creation of this new position and in building upon, and expanding, the foundation already in place.

If you ever have an opportunity to tour Encore Creative’s Tempe facility, one of the first things that you will notice is the magnitude and grandeur of our projects. You will find a prop warehouse, a metal fabrication shop,  a carpentry/paint shop, a floral design department, a set dressing and textile facility (including a very large linen inventory), and a commercial graphics facility (which now includes large format printing capabilities).  All of this under one roof!

Watch for regular updates to this blog, as well as our presences on Facebook, Twitter, etc…Perhaps most exciting of all will be the creation of a compelling visual presence on Flickr, YouTube and Vimeo.

There are many fascinating stories here waiting to be told, and I think you’ll be quite impressed with learning about all of the extraordinary and unique talents that the staff and crew of Encore Creative have to offer.
