Dear clients, fans and followers,

Rise is grateful to have joined forces with you over the years. Our gratitude speaks through our enthusiasm and preparedness to continue working with you in 2010, and help you in exceeding your business goals. In our efforts to boost your business to new levels, we have a few simple questions to ask to help us uncover each of your specific needs and wants in the new year:

• What are hoping to finish that you’ve already started?
• What are you trying to change?
• What are you trying to improve on and by how much?
• What do you want people to say about you?
• Which people?

Our expert team is well aware of the opportunities set before us if we continue to partner together. The boundaries are limitless for us all, and we’re sure to keep perfecting practices and discover unending growth. So thanks again for joining Rise on our journey towards world web domination. We look forward to continued success with you, and can’t wait to kick off the new year. Simply reply to this post at your earliest convenience with your responses. We can’t wait to hear your feedback.

The Rise Team works as hard as we play, and we give back even more. When Rise heard about an opportunity to donate to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, we jumped at the chance to help. St. Jude’s has been the pioneer in the search to save the lives of children worldwide, suffering from pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases. With their research and patient care facilities all in one location, miraculous discoveries are within reach faster than ever before.

St. Jude’s partnered with Chili’s to raise awareness and funding for the helper of little patients everywhere by offering super stylish t-shirts for sale at all Chili’s locations. Each member of the Rise Team is now armed with the appropriately adorned garments, shouting “Hope” to all those in need. We wish St. Jude’s Godspeed ahead in their fight against the killers of our youth. We share one common goal, to raise awareness in our communities and build a brighter future for those less fortunate. And we look pretty spiffy too, don’t ya think?

Literally! There were some pretty heavy winds on Friday night, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time at Kres and Ember. Take a peek at our pics… It’s evident that our devotion to see things through (and have a good time in the process) withstands even the toughest weather conditions. The Rise Team is always committed to getting the job done right.

We’re also committed to building bonds and cultivating relationships that are mutually beneficial to all parties involved. The Rise Team knows how important it is to respect boundaries and allow your project to breathe. That’s why we’re always looking forward to your input and expertise.

So, thank you again for all of your hard work and helping hands. Without you our schedules would be empty, and we wouldn’t have the excitement of new challenges and expectations to exceed everyday. It’s only with your help that we can continue to do what we love, and make the best darn websites possible.

Happy holidays!

I just wanted to share part of the fun Rise had in 2009. Here’s our 2009 Agency Book.
