Brand Development
Brand envisioning, identity development and creative execution is provided with Origin's unique and specialized understanding of their clients' industries.
e-Commerce + Online Marketing
Origin's web development team has not only designed, but also developed proprietary software for e-com applications specific to sporting equipment and apparel retailing.
In-store Experience + Branded Environmentals
Origin’s expertise is not limited to traditional advertising agency services. At Origin, we know the in-store experience is key to attracting and keeping customers. Our experiences in this area include the development and execution of branded environment design/redesigns, both global and store brand-specific signage programs, brand presentation programs for key vendors, co-op programs for key vendors, interactive kiosks, motion graphics and more.
Joint Marketing + Events
Origin recognizes the impact of using grass roots events to support key client campaign and initiatives. Where we have had remarkable successes, is in the development, negotiation and management of joint marketing initiatives with our clients’ key partners. We have developed and executed programs for our clients that include grassroots and word of mouth events, in-store and trade show parties, athlete signings, on-snow opportunities and in-store/resort animation to increase brand awareness, connect with consumers and ultimately, increase sales.
Public Relations/Brand Activation
Origin offers traditional and non-traditional public relations services in a variety of media and channels. Traditional press release and media relations services are complimented by less traditional methods such as community engagement tactics, viral campaigns, grass-roots events and other brand activation activities.
Strategic Planning + Marketing Planning
Although we are a creative agency, we are marketers first and foremost. Every creative project begins with us applying our knowledge of your industry to your product or service. For us, this means carefully examining every aspect of your business, your customers and your competition. It means creating a strategic plan that is grounded in quantifiable objectives, devising strategies to make them happen and then pairing concrete tactics to each good idea. We believe strongly in strategy before execution. Thinking before doing. Researching before reacting.

4/12/2008 - Paul Mutch, Intrawest
Origin has been the agency of record for Breeze/Max Rentals for many years, right up until the sale of the business by Intrawest in the summer of 2007. In 2004 Origin led a relaunch of the Breeze/Max brand resulting in significant increases in same store sales and market share.
We expanded Origin's role soon after to include brand management, PR, marketing planning and execution for all exisiting Intrawest Colorado retail and rental businesses. Origin also we charged with developing brand and marketing plans for the numerous new retail and rental businesses that were launched by Intrawest Colorado from 2004-2007.
Danielle, MJ and the entire Origin team were tremendous, collaborative partners who went the extra mile to deliver what we needed. I would highly recommend Origin to anyone looking for an exciting dynamic partner to help grow sales, awareness and fresh thinking in your business.
