This is where the rubber meets the road. Where we connect our clients’ objectives, budget, timelines and brand with our creative to effectively communicate their message to get results. And have a ton of fun along the way. Although there’s much we can’t show (many of our clients are very shy) here’s a sampling of what we’ve worked on recently. Enjoy!

This was Aleta’s design for the First Annual PHXDW Poster Contest. It showcases many of the things we love about Phoenix.
Jen’s Phoenix Design Week Submission highlights the amazing sunrises and sunsets that we experience in Arizona. Like the bird we’re named after, the Phoenix design culture is rising.
Katie’s Phoenix Design Week Submission is a playful illustration of many Phoenix icons.
This brochure was designed to leave clients with an awareness of the strength and flexibility that CNN Mortgage has to offer.
This brochure was designed to educate clients about the Compass Bank Preferred Client Program.
This brochure was created with limited cost, utilizing a 3 color process application, but still maintaining a sophisticated appearance with a diecut window and an attractive cover paper stock.
The goal of this project was to create a simple, easy to understand brochure that explain the Supreme Court’s agenda in simple terms.
The 2007 Phoenix History Ball was a celebration of the 1920s- the era in which the Phoenix Museum of History began. We designed the invitation to reflect the glamor of that time.
The 2008 Phoenix History Ball celebrated the first newspaper in Arizona, the Salt River Herald. It was important to the client to show the actual newspaper, so we created a sleeve designed with that imagery.
The Welcome to America Project delivers furniture and housewares to refugees living in the United States. We rebranded the organization to express the simple gesture and love that goes into all they do.
Crust Restaurant serves homemade pizzas and other italian specialties. We designed the menus using the traditional pizza oven peel, to reflect that everything is “fresh out of the oven!”
We were asked to refine the Torta Rica logo and create a menu design that works well with the many food items offered. We organized the layout in groups using colors that reflect a variety of mexican foods.
We created a fun, educational game in the form of a direct mailer to educate students and parents on the benefits of the CatCard. Creating interactivity in the piece provided a fun experience that proved successful in increasing card usage.
This guide was created to give Phoenix visitors one source to access all the city’s museums. It is complete with background information, hours and transportation options.
Valemount Capital was named after the city in British Columbia. The mountain icon is an illustration of Mt. Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
For our new Letterhead, we wanted to make a striking visual statement with a flood of the deep red, while also including a bit of our personality. The notecards give some descriptive words explaining the “S” in our logo: “S” is for Savvy, “S” is for Strategic Branding, and “S” is for Smart Design.
To let our clients know we had outgrown our space, we created a mailer that included seeds for planting. Moving gave us a small opportunity to say “thank you” to our clients for helping us grow, and to offer them something of their own to grow.
The theme for our 2008 Holiday Calendar was thankfulness. Each SMCO team member shared something we’re thankful for. We also left a blank for our clients to fill in one thing they’re thankful for each month.
We created a brochure showing the evolution of Sherri May & Company. This is a fun piece for existing clients who may not know our whole story, as well as an opportunity to introduce ourselves to new clients.
To continue our support of the Welcome to America Project, we designed an invitation for their annual “Prom”. That’s right, it’s just like senior year all over again!
The theme of our 2010 Holiday Calendar was artistic expression and inspiration. Each month featured the work of an artist or SMCO team member.
The goal of this piece was to communicate our expertise in the banking industry. At SMCO, being a strategic bank marketing partner is about understanding how to motivate customers and sales teams.
The 2011 Prom was a tribute to Broadway AND 10 years of serving refugees in Phoenix. Congratulations WTAP!
The Paint Your City Green Contest Mailer was a creative and innovative die-cut mailer that was sent to sustainability representatives across the U.S. to promote a Green Contest hosted by Sherri May & Company.
The Paint Your City Green Contest Postcard reminded city representatives of the upcoming contest deadline, while using the same innovative design elements as the Self Mailer.
The SMCO 2011 Calendar gives viewers a daily dose of inspiration through doodles, trivia, and games. Contact us to get on our list for next year!
Sherri May & Company designed the 2011 website and program for the Phoenix AMA Spectrum Awards. The theme was Marketing vs. Wild. The playful look sought to represent the theme of the awards as design firms around the valley emerged from the difficulty of the recession.
