Sequentia Environics Redesign

When Sequentia approached peapod to redesign their site, they were clear they wanted the new look and feel move into where they felt their brand was evolving.

So working alongside Sequentia’s marketing team, Peapod decided that the primary focus in the redesign, would be on how we presented the great content Sequentia had, but might have been lost inside their previous web design. As well as a focus on providing some ease to the immediate architecture issues and simplifying the navigation of the site.

We also took on the task of giving a bright new face to their blog, “What Fibonacci Said”. Which has been on our reading list and one of our blog buddies since 2009.

We asked Amrita Chandra – Sequentia’s Vice President of Marketing about working with Peapod

“This is my 3rd time working with Peapod Studios – I keep coming back to them because they have a great ability to understand their client needs and manage the whole process in a way that makes life easier for us – helping us launch on time and on budget! Our new website achieved exactly what we were looking for from the design to the user experience and business requirements.”

Sequentia Environics provides strategy and services to help companies generate better business results from their online initiatives. Using a combination of research, content, community and analytics.

Two peas in a pod: MediaStyle.ca relaunch

We’re very excited to relaunch MediaStyle.ca this morning.

Peapod has watched Ottawa based communications shop, MediaStyle grow from a one-man home office to a four-person boutique communications firm.

MediaStyle isn’t like most public relations firms. Ian Capstick and his team focus on teaching people how to maximize their public relations budgets by teaching clients how to be better communicators. They also take on high-level content strategy and creation.

The re-designed MediaStyle.ca now provides more ways to access the rich archive of two years of near-daily content. The site also provides a much stronger showcase for their portfolio of videos, text and audio content. The new site even has a cute spot for the office to post about their well-known cupcakes.

The team at MediaStyle values handmade goods, they have impeccable style and as Ian told us at the start, “We’re way overdue for a new look.”

Here’s what else Ian has to say about his new site:

“I love how they have infused the site with subtle detailing and really captured what we love about the MediaStyle brand. It’s bold, but bespoke as well.”

We’re looking forward to our teams working together again soon.
