Measuring Impact in Smiles

Few things are better than seeing the evidence of good work done by one’s endeavors. When actress Connie Nielsen came to Marker Seven several years ago to build a website for her non-profit Human Needs Project (HNP), the idea was to build facilities in slums that could provide basic services such as drinking water, toilets, hot showers, and laundry. But it was just that, an idea.

Launching a Homegrown Bay Area Product

With so much B2B work – we recently completed projects for clients in machine learning, cloud connectivity and data pipelines, for example – it isn’t often that Marker Seven gets to work on a really fun consumer-facing product. This month, we kicked off a brand new product launch with Hatch, a creative agency that has crafted such iconic brands as Vitamin Water, Fat Tire and Krave. Hatch will develop the brand identity and story, packaging and point-of-sales collateral while Marker Seven creates a digital destination, online marketing strategy and content approach.

Taking Clearas Water Recovery To The Next Level

Four years after launching their game changing water recovery technology, Clearas Water Recovery hired Marker Seven to create a new digital destination.

Rebranding a .ORG

Founded by actress Connie Nielsen and leading green builder David Warner, HNP's mission is to create game-changing infrastructures called 'Town Centers' in poverty-stricken areas of the world, beginning in Kibera, Kenya. The Town Centers will provide fresh water, electricity, healthy food, education, Internet, and access to micro-credit using methods that are both ecologically and economically sustainable. It's a revolutionary idea we are convinced will better the lives of those who need it most.

To Wander and to Wonder

Do you remember what it was like to be a kid? Everything was new...but more importantly you were completely comfortable with that.

This month a few of us attended the edui UX conference in Richmond, VA. One of the more memorable  experiences can be summed as follows. Don't place your hand in liquid nitrogen.  Second, don't be afraid to wonder. Let me explain.
