Silver Oaks partnered with Taylor Studios to bring to life the events and impact surrounding the Civil War Battle of Prairie Grove that occurred in Arkansas in December of 1862. Historical videos are always interesting for us to produce. We not only love the history, but are thrilled to find out new details about the events that helped shape America. Prairie Grove is the sight of a Civil War battle that determined who would control Missouri, and parts of Arkansas.

Rainforest Exhibit Interactives

Partnering with our local zoo to educate kids about the rainforest has been a rewarding experience for Silver Oaks. Niabi Zoo, located in Moline, IL, came to Silver Oaks with the vision of creating a Rainforest exhibit in their new Discovery Center and requested our assistance in creating four touchscreen interactives that would serve as the foundation of the exhibit. The goal was to help kids understand the importance of the rainforest and how it affects their day-to-day lives, even though it's half a world away. Silver Oaks seized the opportunity and, from start to finish, produced a multimedia experience that provides education and entertainment for a mix of ages.

Good’s Furniture is more than a store — it's 12 historic gallery buildings linked together to showcase a world of fine furniture that draws people from around the Midwest. Good’s Furniture asked Silver Oaks to redesign their website to communicate the essence of the Good’s shopping experience. Actually, over the years we've redesigned it several times to reflect the store’s evolving history, its personality, database of manufacturers, and a custom content management system. Here a few snapshots of the most recent site. Or you can explore the site on your own where you'll also see all the Good's television and radio spots.

Branding Development and Collateral Materials

The Sawmill Museum in Clinton, Iowa, approached Silver Oaks in its early stages of formation for assistance in brand development. Referencing preliminary feasibility research and exhibit designs, Silver Oaks' creative team worked closely with the museum's executive director to establish a brand look that personified the museum's messaging and overall theme. Starting with the name, our designers and writers consulted on crafting a name that was meaningful yet enticing to both local and regional audiences. From there, our designers explored a variety of options for logo designs.

This mailer was created to tell the story of how our client was able to do something extraordinary in a time when the economy was very weak. The client came to us with a simple idea of presenting a timeline that would show the acquisition and sale of these eight Beechjet aircraft in a six-month period. The result was a piece that strongly credits the client's capabilities and helps spotlight them as an industry leader in aircraft sales and acquisitions.

This direct marketing piece encourages customers to swap out their traditional avionics "6-pack" instrument panel for a new Garmin. It also suggests that customers should possibly change the way they look at Elliott Aviation and choose them to do their upgrade. This client preferred lenticular mailers due to their long shelf life after delivery.
