		<item><title>Illinois Quad City Chamber &quot;Silver Ball&quot; Videos</title><description>&lt;p&gt;In support of the Illinois Quad City Chamber and its efforts to build economic development and growth in the Quad Cities, Silver Oaks participated as the video sponsor for the 2010 Silver Ball: Coast to Coast. The Illinois Quad City Chamber wanted two videos that would play off the theme of the event that would be fun and lighthearted, yet still professional. The first video showcased “Pick Your Destination,” a game of chance to pick a Silver Ball that holds a prize. It was developed to look like a retro game show with an enthusiastic announcer, personable host and glamorous game show hostess. The second video, titled “On Our Way to the Silver Ball,” featured a couple heading to the Silver Ball and discussing the event and all the programs that would benefit from the money raised that night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/illinois-quad-city-chamber-silver-ball-videos&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/illinois-quad-city-chamber-silver-ball-videos</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:19:03</pubDate></item><item><title>Handmade Acoustic Guitars</title><description>&lt;p&gt;A love of woodworking combined with a love of music has resulted in one-of-a-kind handmade guitars. Pete, an interactive programmer, made his first guitar five years ago and has since made five more. Each guitar is usually a winter project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/handmade-acoustic-guitars&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/handmade-acoustic-guitars</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:16:30</pubDate></item><item><title>&quot;Reflections on the African Burial Ground&quot; Interactive</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Visitors to the African Burial Ground National Monument in Manhattan, New York, will be able to reflect upon their experience there and share their impressions with others, thanks to a new interactive produced by Silver Oaks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/reflections-on-the-african-burial-ground-interactive&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/reflections-on-the-african-burial-ground-interactive</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:21:37</pubDate></item><item><title>Quad-City Times TV Spots</title><description>&lt;p&gt;A series of commercials for the Quad-City Times newspaper tapped into our 2D and 3D animation talents. The completed spots were used on TV and online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/quad-city-times-tv-spots&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/quad-city-times-tv-spots</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:32:12</pubDate></item><item><title>Advanced Hearing Aid Service TV Spot</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/advanced-hearing-aid-service-tv-spot&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/advanced-hearing-aid-service-tv-spot</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:00:15</pubDate></item><item><title>Johnson H2O Campaign</title><description>&lt;p&gt;To bring cohesiveness to Johnson H2O’s marketing collateral and showcase its quality water solutions, Silver Oaks revamped the company's current print collateral and created new :15 TV and radio commercials. The new print collateral included an envelope stuffer; a two-pocket folder; and three 8 ½ x 11 inserts featuring Johnson H2O's featured services: well and pump systems, water conditioning and cleaning solutions. The design's bright blue bubbling water, clean look and new tag, “Pure. Clean. Clear.” evoke the quality water solutions that Jonson H2O has been known for since 1967.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/johnson-h2o-tv-spot&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/johnson-h2o-tv-spot</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:57:18</pubDate></item><item><title>Jumer's Casino &amp; Hotel &quot;Vegas&quot; Campaign</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Jumer’s Casino &amp;amp; Hotel kicked off a year-long branding campaign as the place to go for Vegas style excitement and gaming. The client was looking for more than the typical scenes of people acting excited about winning; they wanted to capture the iconic images of Vegas. Our use of glitzy symbols such as Elvis, showgirls and more portray the fun and excitement of Vegas and tie in to the new tag line, “Vegas without the flight.” A recurring theme in the series of commercials produced by Silver Oaks is that Jumer's Casino &amp;amp; Hotel is so much like Vegas visitors are convinced they're really there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/jumers-casino-hotel-vegas-campaign&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/jumers-casino-hotel-vegas-campaign</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:21:10</pubDate></item><item><title>USS John C. Stennis Interactives</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Silver Oaks had the rare opportunity to research the inner workings of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier. Partnering with an exhibit design firm, Silver Oaks produced two computer-based touchscreen interactives for the Puget Sound Navy Museum’s newly renovated USS John C. Stennis exhibit, located in Bremerton, Washington. The exhibit provides a behind-the-scenes view of life at sea, allowing friends and family members of service men and women to share in the experience of life aboard a massive aircraft carrier. Visitors get a glimpse of everything from the mess hall to the flight deck to the crew quarters – seeing how this 100,000-ton ship truly is a floating city, complete with its own ZIP code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/uss-john-c-stennis-interactives&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/uss-john-c-stennis-interactives</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:48:57</pubDate></item><item><title>Chiropractic Direct Mail Campaign</title><description>&lt;p&gt;To assist in Radiology Group Imaging Center’s efforts to branch out into the chiropractic community, Silver Oaks developed a two-phased direct mailer campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/chiropractic-direct-mail-campaign&quot;&gt;Read More &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.silveroaks.com/create/portfolio/chiropractic-direct-mail-campaign</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:42:05</pubDate></item><item><title>&quot;What Not to Wear at the Mall&quot; Interactive</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Discovery Channel/TLC took their hit show “What Not to Wear” on the road with an interactive touchscreen kiosk that enables mall shoppers to fine tune their fashion sense.
