LaVoris Pace, Musical Artist Website
Need a tight website to promote your musical talents? Give Arengee a call.
We created this smooth- flowing java-based website to match the R&B soul of this local musical talent.
The site incorporates a snippet of a current track with a link directly to iTunes for purchase plus embedded web fonts, media gallery, video and more.
Have a look. And don’t forget to check out/buy his single and album on iTunes.
The Language Group
Mr. Donatelli, the owner of The Language Group, is a busy guy. And like most busy business owners sometimes getting around to updating your own marketing materials takes a back seat. His website for example, designed and programmed back in the late 90s was fairly cutting edge for its day – but not for 2013. We brought The Language Group up to date with a sophisticated and professional business look and feel. He’s very happy. And even busier.

Gosport Arts Festival website
The Gosport Arts Festival has a forty-three year tradition in Hampton Roads. 2013 will be our thirteenth year in Portsmouth’s beautiful Olde Towne.
Gosport consists of approximately 150 juried artists and craftsmen displaying two- and three-dimensional work. Cash awards exceed $7,500 with additional support provided by many regional sponsors. Gosport benefits Edmarc Hospice for Children, a special local charity that was the first of its kind in the nation. Since 1978, Edmarc has offered assistance to patients and their families every day of the year.
Gosport has a large volunteer base that is dedicated to providing the ultimate festival experience for its artists and patrons. Artists are assisted with their booths, treated to drinks and snacks during the weekend, and invited to a reception and Awards Ceremony featuring a complimentary dinner.
Another one of our pro bono clients, Arengee has donated website design, programming and maintenance for the past several years.
Taste of Hampton Roads
How we turned engaging illustrations into food for thought.
Taste of Hampton Roads is the premier annual charity event for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. Since its inception, the Foodbank has distributed over 221 million pounds of food directly and though partner agencies to help reduce hunger in our community.
Arengee has been a Board member for this event for over a decade – developing branding and marketing pieces including posters, save-the-date postcards, tickets, t-shirts, souvenirs programs and a variety of digital media.
Every year, we challenged ourselves to develop a better, more compelling design that would top the previous year’s effort. We worked with local illustrators who took our ideas and vision and created fun and memorable images.
In 2007, we developed a theme that zagged from the expected. The idea was one that resonated to a diverse population — there’s a little bit of country in all of us.
We proud to say that every year we helped bring in more money than the year before. The result? We were able to take a bite out of hunger and help feed hundreds of thousands of our neighbors in Hampton Roads.
Hungry for something truly different?
At Arengee, we’ve discovered that some of the best work is delivered when we direct the illustrator less with specifics and more with what the finished piece needs to accomplish. It frees up creatives to envision unexpected and exciting solutions to challenges.
Creativity. It’s just one of the many benefits Arengee brings to the table. If you have a taste for more, just give us call.

Children’s Museum of Virginia
Objective:
Completely re-brand the Children’s Museum of Virginia and unveil the new branding concurrently with the museum’s reopening following a $14 million renovation.
Solution:
We created a new logo, website, multi-media campaign and collateral that appealed to both children and adults. The new typeface projects the image of a professionally run museum and the use of the museum’s mascot communicates fun to kids. The large images of children chosen worked well with the imagination theme.
Results:
More than 220,000 people visited the museum in the first full year – more than double the previous record.
Marketing ROI was 10:1
