Morning everyone, after seeing this story unfold on twitter, we figured we had to put together a quick blog post to tell you about our latest trip to Detroit. We were traveling to give presentations about a custom software solution we created for one of our clients. When we arrived at the office where we were supposed to present, we found out that there was a gas leak in the building. That might have stopped some people in their tracks, but we can be very resourceful! A member of our team headed into the sports bar next door and convinced the staff there to let him use their projection system to give our presentation! A couple of pics are below... We raise our hands to high five our team for continued dedication and for our team's ability to think on our feet for our client! We'd do the same for you!

Every year the University of Manitoba Marketing Association (UMMA) hosts a conference that brings together marketing students and professionals in the industry to network, build connections and share ideas. This year’s conference was held at the Asper School of Business this past Friday (February 5th) and the topic was “The Future of Marketing.” Our Creative Director, Justen Vogt, participated by conducting a speaker session and round table discussion on marketing and branding. We knew Justen's fun personality and passion about creating engaging customer experiences would be a hit with the students- and we weren't wrong! Check out a quick clip from Justen's presentation below. Additionally, Anvil Digital's Executive Director Cindy Bolduc gave a very interesting keynote address at the Gala Dinner that evening.

We really enjoyed meeting the marketing students at this event. We hope that our presentations helped them to think about where they want their careers to end up.

A couple of weeks ago, ANVIL Digital was featured in the Winnipeg Free Press. The article talked a lot about our parent company (and biggest client) Price, the North American leader for HVAC products (plus it featured a very nice picture of Miguel Carrasco, our head of software, Cindy Bolduc our ANVIL Principal and Joe Cyr, the President of Price). ANVIL Digital is in the business of growing businesses- and we helped Price grow from a $60 million company to a $300 million company! The Price/ANVIL Digital relationship is very unique, but it also allows ANVIL Digital to remain solid in an uncertain marketplace, as the article explains.

Price has always been an innovative, forward-thinking company. It is no suprise that when faced with a recession, Price did not slam on the breaks but instead stepped on the gas pedal, investing in new products and businesses (like ANVIL) in order to diversify and find new ways to continue growing. At ANVIL, we have adopted the same way of thinking- that the more you put in, the more benefit comes out, which is why our customers will always see us investing in new technology, new techniques, and applying new ways of thinking to the business solutions we provide them with.
