  The power of the Pie.

  Posted in: Fresh

  Seed learns talent is great but pizza is king. Thursday, September 2, 12 noon in the parking lot, City Centre presents ‘Veggie Deluxe’, with special guests Shelly Rastin. (Sorry Rastin fans, we’ve recently learned the power of pizza.) London’s iconic business address is pleased to present the final 2010 City Sizzles Summer Concert in its lunchtime gig program. It’s a community appreciation thing and tenants and neighbours throughout the core are welcome to attend and soak up some great music and sun, with a free slice if you get to it quickly enough. Attendance, we’re pleased to say has basically doubled for this year’s presentations thanks to our partnership with Stobie’s, purveyors of pizza — who graciously provide free slices for 125-150 people at every show. Toss in a beverage on City Centre and we have a winning formula to tear folks away from their desks for the lunch hour. This year’s series kicked off with a fabulous salute to Paul from The McCartney Years, followed by high-energy Fanshawe faves Two Crown King who paved the way for the Indie Talent day. All great presentations with something for everyone. Wrapping up September 2nd will be local favourite Shelly Rastin who, with co-writer D’Arcy Corbett have worked on past tracks with Canadian legend Randy Bachman. Think about it: the nights are getting colder, frost is only a month away…why not spend one of your last beautiful, warm lunch hours out of doors with a slice and great music? Join us at City Centre, in the parking lot at the corner of Dundas and Wellington, September 2 at noon…it’ll be a good time!

  CarProof to Relaunch Web Overhaul

  Posted in: Fresh

  One of our favourite projects this year – and clients certainly – is CarProof; Canada’s leading Vehicle History Report service. We were introduced late in 2009 and began development on the reskin of their website. Working closely with their internal IT/code teams we were able to learn enough about CarProof to make valuable observations and provide solid design solutions that improve GUI and functionality. Part of the scope of the project included a new Report structure to highlight and separate information for a more user-friendly result. CarProof provides consumers and industry with the necessary data to make the most informed decision possible about a used car purchase or transaction via direct ‘live’ links to all the necessary data sources. The difference being the live aspect, whereas similar services generally draw upon data that can be outdated or totally invalid. The shortcomings of major competitors to CarProof and the quality of CarProof’s data has been highlighted on several Networks including CTV, CBC and CityTV on programs like CityLine, W5 and MarketPlace. As a result of this thorough approach the company’s reports have become the preferred choice of used vehicle Dealers across Canada. Our advice: don’t sign the paperwork until you run a CarProof VIN check. View the latest television spots here.
