Giving back to the Tampa Bay Community

Throughout our existence, J2 Studio has been involved with the Tampa Bay Community on may levels. We have served on boards for the Greater Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce, The Tampa Bay Advertising Foundation and several non-profit organizations and fundraising events. The Tampa Bay community has given us so much in terms of our future that we feel a compelling desire to reciprocate the good fortune bestowed upon us by many endeavors, including several listed below. If you would like to see how J2 Studio can help your organization, please contact us.

Bolt Run

Each year since 2000, J2 Studio has been involved with Courtney Simons at The St Pete Times Forum/Tampa Bay Lighting and the now annual "Bolt Run". The Bolt Run is a 5K race benefiting the Lymphoma Leukemia Society. Since it’s inception, J2 Studio has been a proud sponsor and has enjoyed participating in the design development of all marketing collateral in an effort to promote such a beneficial event. For more information please email Courtney here.

Lions Eye Bank 5k Race for Sight

Jason Woody of the Lions Eye Institute for Transplant & Research, Inc. started the 5K race, 1 mile race and family fun walk in 2002. Thee races serve two purposes. To raise money when possible for their cause, but more importantly to bring awareness about Lions Eye Institute for Transplant & Research, Inc.

Jason and his associates contacted J2 Studio shortly after the first race in 2002. They wanted to develop a stronger marketing campaign in hopes of bringing new runners/walkers and awareness about the event and organization. J2 Studio completely redesigned the logo for the race, developed an icon and has since incorporated this new icon into each year’s marketing collateral. The collateral’s theme changes each year to reflect a new perspective and to keep things “fresh”. We are very round to be a recognized Gold Sponsor for this event and enjoy working with Jason’s team year in and year out. For more information, please contact Jason here.

HARC

HARC (formerly Hillsborough Association for Retarded Citizens) is a unique and wonderful organization serving the needs of developmentally disabled people in the greater Tampa Bay area who may otherwise not have the opportunities presented through HARC. From in home services for the elderly and disabled, to job placement, and additional programs such as Adult Work Services, Senior Services, Residential Services, Supported Employment, and more. HARC has been a staple in the Tampa Bay area for over 50 years.

For the past 5 years, J2 Studio has worked hand in hand with HARC developing special event collateral for their many fundraising events throughout the year such as their annual golf tournament, Georgette’s fashion show, casino night, Gasparilla tent, and so much more. J2 Studio has been pleased and proud to be a part of their out-reach efforts for such a noble cause. For more info on HARC please visit www.hillsarc.com.

TBBCA

The Tampa Bay Business Committee for the Arts is a non-profit organization linking the benefits of the arts and the business communities in Tampa Bay. A number of years ago J2 Studio was asked to redesign their web site in an effort to present a more professional appearance to potential donors, volunteers and board members. Once our initial consultation had taken place, we had all walked away with a lot more on the plate than a simple redesign. They needed a much more simple yet strategic logo and marketing vehicles. So we designed a new simpler logo and identity package along with corresponding collateral and of course their web site. While our efforts may have been pro bono, the rewards for such appreciation on the part of the organization were immeasurable. For more information on the TBBCA, please visit them at www.tbbca.org.

J2 Studio has also continually developed numerous marketing graphic design projects throughout the Tampa Bay area for public and private schools, non-profits, pre-school camps and more. We enjoy helping the community when we can and look forward to continuing our efforts.
