Skybox Creative is currently in the process of making a promotional video about our company and what we do here on a daily basis (which is a whole lot of varied design, from branding and print, to web and user interface). We thought it was high time this award-winning San Diego branding and web design firm put ourselves, but mostly our work, out in front of the camera in a creative, docu-style video. Our production team – R&R Productions, have been incredibly professional and helpful in achieving our story board vision. The video will be posted here LIVE in few weeks, so definitely check back for the final product!

For now, we’ll wet your appetite with a few BEHIND THE SCENES photos…

Skybox Creative (Branding + Web Design) and Skybox Ink (Green Printing) are moving! Due to our growing success and need for more wiggle room, we are moving to a larger suite.

Please take note that our suite number is changing from 111 to 127 starting next Monday – May 24th, 2010. Our new office has a nice welcome area for clients to lounge and for small meetings.

We’d love to have you come visit us at our new location, so give us a call or email if you would like to stop by info@skyboxcreative.com or 619.381.3825

Skybox Creative President, Angelina Sereno, attended The Success Principles Seminar with Jack Canfield in San Fransisco on Saturday, March 13, 2010. An avid fan of The Secret and the power of positive thinking with regard to achieving success, this event was a powerful reminder of the principles to use everyday. For those who may not know, Jack Canfield is the Author of best selling book series Chicken Soup for the Soul. Angelina will be sharing tips and ideas she learned at the seminar. Stay posted!

A few of The Success Principles to remember:

1. Take 100% Responsibility in your daily actions (Remember  E+R= O). Event + Response = Outcome – You always have control over the “R” to affect the “O”!
2. Give up blaming and complaining and stay focused on what you want—remember the “arm exercise” and the power of thoughts on your body. Jack performed a Kinesiology experiment with a volunteer from the group [Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing as a primary feedback mechanism to examine how a person’s body is functioning.]
3. Continue to set monthly, weekly and daily goals.
4. Believe it’s possible to achieve all your goals.
5. Constantly replace your Negative Self-Talk with Positive Self-Talk.
6. Surround yourself with positive people.
7. Ask someone to be your accountability partner and talk to them every day.
8. Repeat your affirmations and visualize your success every single day for 30 days.
9. Practice the Rule of 5—take 5 action steps every day on your Breakthrough Goal. A Breakthrough Goal is something you want but seems impossible at first, if you achieve it, it will be a major breakthrough for you. Try to set at least 2 big breakthrough goals to work towards.
10. Ask for—and respond to—feedback.
11. Maintain a constant state of gratitude and appreciation.
12.  Do something that brings you joy or love every day.
13. Another point he brought up is to get outside your comfort zone. Or the phrase I like best “Do something that scares you everyday”

For more information on success, I would recommend buying a copy of The Success Principles and reading it more than once. Practice and repetition makes the master!

Skybox Creative attended the Ad 2 – PRSA Holiday event at Side Bar in the Gaslamp District on December 3. The evening was a collaborative holiday celebration for the two organizations.

President of Skybox Creative, Angelina Sereno, and Account Manager, Carly Bartkiewicz, met some ambitious and interesting fellow entrepreneurs, including Jeff Weinberger, Director of Product Development for Ground Up Logic, a company that develops iPhone software, Sabrina Gallier, Search Marketing Manager for Covario and Scott Smith, Sales Manager for CBS Outdoor. After speaking to Emily Cox, we learned about Empower San Diego, a non-profit organization that focuses on political education and community involvement. Kristin Craik shared with us her passion for copywriting and online sales strategies, a writer and social media strategist for La La Lingerie, she stays very busy.

Angelina and Carly found out about the event after meeting Adam Hermsdorfer, President of Ad 2, at an open house for C&S Sales a few weeks earlier. C&S has some incredible custom packaging products, such as invitations, menus and novelty items that are really worth checking out!

The San Diego chapters for Ad 2 and PRSA are both great organizations for local people in advertising, public relations or related industries to meet new business contacts, share ideas and also give back to their communities through fundraisers and philanthropy.
