Canon, known for fostering it’s love of photography among today’s youth, challenged EGC with highlighting future image makers for its B&H Store takeover. We accomplished this by pairing a group of kids in NYC with renowned photographer, (and Canon Explorer of Light), Jack Reznicki. We called this campaign: “NYC My Way.” Jack took the next generation of Canon explorers to the streets, where they discovered the thrill of capturing their own unique visions.

This week, members of the EGC team attended the annual Brother Dealer Back to Business Convention in Orlando, Florida. This was a particularly special event, as Brother celebrated its 110^th Anniversary, with “Celebrating Innovation” as the theme for this year’s meeting. And EGC proved equally innovative with the production of long-form video, social videos, and other marketing materials to help drive sales for Brother Authorized Dealers. The long-format video details how advanced features on the Luminaire XP not only help create dramatic, embroidered, quilted and sewn objects, but special memories as well. The video was then cut down to run as a series of social media units to reach a wider audience. Along with that, EGC created brochures, collateral and in-store signage.
