Daren Guillory and Terence Tang, Visual and Production Designers for Times Infinity, recently joined forces with Kathy Laurie of Lutheran Inter-City Network Coalition (LINC) to put the finishing touches on an outdoor sign for Comunidad de Gracia, a new community center in the Magnolia Park area that will also serve as a worship center.

Comunidad de Gracia (meaning "Community of Grace" in English) was renovated by LINC Houston from an old church building and is now seeing greater community use than ever before through summer programs, English classes, music classes, Girl Scouts, day camps for children and weekly worship services.

LINC Houston began in May 2001 to create new ministries to reach out to the urban, multi-cultural, and ethnically diverse people in the urban areas of Houston.

"Times Infinity created us a new personality - a new presence in the neighborhood... a joy to work with," says Kathy Laurie, who serves as Program Director for community centers. "The sign was an instant success causing passersby to stop and take interest in what had once been of no consequence to them."

Rob Camper, Principal & Creative Director for Times Infinity, has been invited to co-present with Steve Latham, CEO, Spur Digital on the power of Brand-centric email marketing for arts organizations at the National Arts Marketing Program's upcoming spring workshop series.

Through a partnership of the Mayor's Office and the Cultural Council of Houston/Harris County, the National Arts Marketing Project of the Arts & Business Council, Inc., sponsored by American Express, provides a series of workshops in the spring and fall for Houston-area arts organizations seeking innovative and cost-effective ways to boost their marketing efforts.

Entitled Brand-Centric Web Marketing 101, Rob and Steve will present two critical sides of the equation for utilizing online channels to maximize marketing dollars and increase Brand equity.

Rob will lead the audience into an overview of Brand Discipline, exploring how organizations need to be "conceptually disciplined" when it comes to positioning themselves, crafting messaging and imagery, and selecting the right channels that connect deeply and strategically. Steve will provide expertise on the best practices and leading tactics for planning and managing effective online marketing campaigns.

"The objective here is to provide a one-two punch for arts organizations to make the best use of their already strained budgets. Steve Latham is a true leader in his field, and I'm delighted to partner with him in this much-needed program," says Rob.

The workshop will take place on June 14th, 2005 at Duke Energy (5400 Westheimer). Registration fee is $15.
