QR Codes – An Excellent Tool For Creating Brand Exposure!

QR codes are scanable bar codes typically generated to provide instant information on a mobile device. The best part, they can point you towards just about anything.

Socially Mentioned And Honored

Today I was checking how far our online efforts are reaching and realized we were given props on Tommy Toy’s blog yesterday. More than likely we wouldn’t have seen his post so quickly, if I hadn’t run a search for Forté on socialmention.com.  I can’t express how important it is to monitor what [...]

Greetings From New Zealand – Part 2

One of the shoot days was for a “Cold Injury” spot.  The premise is to be careful when hiking outdoors in cold weather: have the right gear, hydrate, layer up, etc.  Here are a few pictures from the location, and Forté’s very own Jamie & Chris.

Greetings From New Zealand – Part 1

What do you do Mid-July when you need snowy conditions, English speaking locals, and mountains for shooting spots?  You travel to the opposite side of the Earth to New Zealand.  Beginning last week we started scouting locations along with a team of local production “Mates”, and this week the shooting began.  So far everything has [...]

Coming Soon: THE WHITE BOARD

Sooner than later we’re changing the name of our blog to: The White Board. The idea comes from our use of white Idea Paint to write notes, doodles, (whether brilliant or not) at will when ideas comes to mind. We’re making a concentrated effort to use these ideas for blog post topics. We think the concept will allow our team to run wild with new earth shattering ideas, and in the process start some great conversations. So pardon the progress as we prepare to paint and start thinking.
