We are designers, writers, creatives, and very good listeners. We are a company on a mission. Cronin Creative. Clarity By Design™.
I need a break. I mean I really, really need a break. Like most small business owners I work hard to keep the ship on course and keep the clients satisfied. Like those same small business owners, in my enthusiasm to do the work and get it right, I sometimes lose sight of the importance of time off. In short, it’s been too long. That’s a mistake that I will rectify over the coming week as we take some much-needed vacation time away from the office.
In an Entrepreneur magazine article entitled ” The Secret to Increased Productivity: Taking Time Off,” contributing writer Joe Robinson examines the growing phenomenon of the overworked entrepreneur who forgoes time off because it’s “good for business.”
With marketing and branding methods gravitating more and more to our hand-held devices, and traditional brick-and-mortar commerce being supplanted by online monoliths like Amazon, it sometimes seems that all of our daily activities and decisions have become computer-driven. But here at Cronin Creative, we still believe in the formidable power of paper to enrich our lives and inspire consumers like no other medium.
In a recent series of articles, Sappi North America, one of our favorite paper sources, explores the way haptics – the science of touch – is becoming a marketing watchword, with companies turning more and more to paper catalogs to entice and energize consumers. A recent study conducted by magazine publishing giant Condé Nast came to some surprising conclusions regarding the enduring power of paper.

“When it was time to do our television show, Karen Cronin and I had already done a lot of CD packaging and books and side projects together, so I knew that the set for the TV show was just a matter of turning the wheel in yet one more direction. We had one conversation, and I knew Cronin Creative had it covered. I’m spoiled.” – Marty Stuart

We jumped at the chance to design the commemorative book for Alan Shuptrine: Appalachian Watercolors of the Serpentine Chain, an exhibition currently on view at the Tennessee State Museum. Shuptrine's nationally renowned watercolors and handcrafted frames pay tribute to the land and people found along the Appalachian Trail. Be sure to check out this amazing exhibit (and while you're there, pick up a copy of the Cronin Creative-designed book!)
