A few years ago, BlackOut was invited to help develop and market an exciting community development initiative, Rediscover Scranton. We’ve remained involved with the program and recently we had an opportunity to reflect upon how much Rediscover Scranton has grown during a refresh of our initial site design.
Rediscover Scranton is an initiative to promote the Greater Scranton area and its educational, cultural and business assets to professionals with ties to the area. They came to us looking for a site refresh that gave greater access to the full range of news they provide on the people, places and businesses that make up the Greater Scranton area. The new site design would also incorporate a BlackOut-designed blog, as well as information on their new partnership with POWER! Scranton.
POWER! Scranton is one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s leading networking and social organizations for young professionals so the partnership with Rediscover Scranton was a natural fit.
Check out the results of BlackOut’s work at Rediscover Scranton or the Rediscover Scranton blog.

BlackOut Art Director Phil Barket was invited to give back to his alma mater last week when Marywood University asked Phil to review the senior portfolios of graduating art students.
Phil was one of just four regional art director/editors invited chosen to review the Marywood seniors’ work and conduct interviews with the students.
The goal of the review was to equip the graduating students with interview experience as they prepare to enter the work force and to provide them feedback on their work from established professionals in the art/design industry.

This Earth Week, we’re focusing on our BlackOut clients who’ve made a commitment to environmental responsibility in pursuing their business goals.
Foremost among those is Cambrian Biotechnologies, maker of organic agricultural, health and beauty and animal products, all created from Ecklonia maxima kelp. Cambrian’s mission statement says it all:
“The Earth is ours to cherish”
Founder Stephen Pheiffer is a pioneer in the field of kelp processing and his commitment has remained the same since he started Cambrian – to offer uniquely effective products made from only natural, organic materials.
Cambrian products can help farmers make the transition to organic farming or help you go green in your own home garden or backyard.

BlackOut recently had the pleasure of working with pioneers in the field of kelp processing, Cambrian Biotechnologies.
BlackOut provided web design and search marketing services for Cambrian, creating a site at www.cambrianproducts.com that demonstrates the uses and benefits of Cambrian’s Ecklonia maxima kelp-based products. We also developed the Cambrian blog that allows readers to keep up to date with the innovative work being done by Cambrian on a daily basis.
Cambrian manufactures products in three divisions – Agriculture, Health and Beauty and Pet Products – utilizing a unique process that preserves the vitamin and mineral components of the kelp. The products are all natural and organic.

BlackOut recently designed and launched three websites, a blog and a wiki for the Insitutue for Public Policy and Economic Development, helping to bring online the Institute’s reputation as the most comprehensive resource for housing information in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The project included an Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development portal page with information on the goals and history of the organization. From the portal page, users can find more detailed housing information by following links to the Lackawanna County Housing Coalition site or the Luzerne County Housing Partnership site.
Each county-specific site features a wealth of information on buying, selling, building or refinancing a home, as well as resources for contractors and developers.
BlackOut allowed the Institute to further extend the reach of its message with a wiki and a blog to open a dialogue with homeowners and potential homeowners in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
