“What could be more fun that spending the evening mixing and mingling with some of New York’s finest while working to improve the lives of those affected by HIV?”

So pick up your phone, click onto your inter-web, or do whatever it is you people do and get your tickets for this years’ Bailey House Annual Auction on February 22nd.

“Snap  Snap.”

We are THRILLED to show you one of our newest projects: a web site we did with our client Jemz Foodz. Serving as a product portal for a line of fitness lifestyle nutrition products, we worked with our web partner to develop a site that will, over time,  become a living breathing entity to aid in the clients’ overall marketing and outreach strategy.

But enough about the back story; click on the image and check it out!

In addition to running into our friends from Judy’s Custom Workroom, Cerno Lighting and Audiovisions,  we were thrilled to run into part of our gang from the New York Metro Chapter of the ASID; Victoria and Albert Baths. We also discovered some grand up and coming products (have you checked out Salvage Design Company?). So, “Kudos” to everyone involved! We look forward to what is sure to be an even bigger event next year!

In 2012 we will continue to promote our “Do Good” outreach program (after all, life is much more than marketing, business development, web interfaces or social media!). Rather then lay it all out for you, we thought we would tease you with a sneak peak…. and yes… it’s kinda’ a big deal!

Scene: December 15th 2011 as the  New York Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID NY Metro) turned the beautiful GE Monogram Design Center into a winter wonderland for their 2011 Holiday Celebration.

Aside from providing a glittering cast of some of New York’s brightest design talents, the evening showcased an incredible ginger bread candy palace created with the aid of some of the evenings sponsors (Victoria and Albert Baths, Vintage and Modern and Cassina to name a few!). Masterminded by event chair Jacqueline Hosford (of Jacqueline Hosford Designs), the piece was later donated to Manhattan’s Lower Eastside Service Center to bring to holiday cheer to the residents working through recovery.

In all, the evening was an excellent beginning to our own Holiday season here at The Cypress Group (where it isn’t always about marketing and business development all the time, mind you!).

A very merry beginning, indeed.

Happy Holidays from The Cypress Group!

From our family to yours; we wish you a Holiday Season warm with happiness and a New Year filled with joy!

Until next year!

Given the stunning product Bisazza creates, the evening was staged to perfection (thank you Scott Cook!). From recent grads through to career re-entry designers, attendees got a crash course on how to structure a small, personalized interior design business marketing strategy. Special thanks to Peti Lau and Simone Clayborn for bringing us into this wonderful evening!

But really, we’re sure you just want to see the photos? Right? Well, here they are:

Slewhouse, Inc is an Orange County based construction consulting firm that works within the shelter arena. In addition to a basic brand revamp, The Cypress Group is working on recreating their internet presence.

So, stay in touch and stay tuned!

1) We here at The Cypress Group are, indeed, firm believers of getting involved with associations and groups that work within your market as a way of driving your business forward.

2) Who said that is always conferences and seminars?

Exactly.

When life gives you lemons, make Ketel One Lemon Drop Martinis.

Which is why we decided to pass along this event from the people at Social at SoCo. Go. Be Merry. Do Good.
