The expression "The shoemaker's children go barefoot" comes to mind. Morvil has been operating an award-winning, full-service advertising and marketing firm since the 80's, but our own website has been, well, metaphorically a bit bare. We've also very recently updated our logo, but alas, we still have no sign on our building.
It's true that we've been putting our time and creative energy into accomplishing these and many other projects for our clients; indisputably our first priority. The work we do for those who trust us with their image fuels our passion and helps to pay the bills, so we certainly aren't complaining. But with the launch of this site, we're feeling a bit like kids with new Keds—ready to run faster, jump higher, and leap small buildings in a single bound.
Now about that sign out front…
I was reading something Sterling Handley had written that we should be taking these "Bad Times" and using the them to our advantage. How do you do that with the lemons you've been handed?
"Now is the time for personal projects. Development of multiple revenue streams. Diversifying, to put it into proper fiscal terminology. I am working on all of those personal projects that have been kept at bay in light of a flourishing business. I assume that this economy will rebound, but you never know. It is best to hedge your bets."
It might be trite but, make yourself lemonade. Keep motivated and keep creating.
A common question we get is: "So how are things going for you all?" Things are going well! We continue to stay busy. And when we're not mostly busy, we're at least occupied. When the going gets tough, the tough get creative. And we feel confident in our abilities to offer you the best value in creative talent and marketing expertise for our region and beyond.
We're fortunate to have clients that realize the importance of sustaining their marketing efforts during a down-turn. It not only helps avert any slow down in their business, but can actually translate into increased sales! Moreover, a sustained presence leads to even larger market gains once things are on the up-swing. And we have many success stories to share!

We're through the holidays and off to a running start in 2009. We're looking forward to what this year may have in store and look forward to helping our clients grow!
For those clients and friends who received a Morvil Design Group t-shirt, you've just been given a sneek peek into our new logo! The complete MDG logo & identity redesign will be showing up...
Our business continues to thrive thanks to all our wonderful clients. To all of you who help bring business our way due to your kind words, thank you!
We are enjoying our new space and have begun to fill it out nicely. If you haven't been by in awhile, please stop in to check the place out.
We have recently added a very capable and personable programmer to our crew. William Wetherill takes command of programming that will hurt a mere mortal's brain and shows it who's boss.
And in case it's been longer than "just a little while", we're also very happy to have Odette Arnold here. She is a copywriter who can wordsmith a message to suit any style - all spelled correctly!
We wish you all a wonderful summer and 4th of July.
