Community. Learning. Growth.

Harrisburg University

There has been a longstanding and ever-expanding relationship between MudBrick and Harrisburg University. From game development to t-shirt production and email campaigns, the project list has become quite expansive.

In 2011, we took on two new projects that we had never done before. the first was a digital quilt, partnering with WITF for people affected by cancer. Named Facing Cancer Together, the quilt served as a way for people to share their stories with others just like them. Later in the year, we did something completely different: created experiences for HU's VirtuSphere - a giant sphere that tracks your movement and your eyes to immerse you into a virtual environment.

Digital Quilt

Read, watch and listen to the stories of people who find strength in facing cancer together.

Building Alongside

Carlisle Syntec

Carlisle Syntec is considered the industry leader for single-ply roofing solutions. They needed a high-tech solution for monitoring content and collections, and keeping up on current news. We developed an app for the IPhone and iPad to inform and empower users. And the results speak for themselves.
Troegs has been a staple of fine craft brewing in Central PA for over 14 years. In 2011, Troegs moved from Harrisburg to nearby Hershey. We had already designed their website, so this became an opportunity to step up and provide tools to help the transition. Their site and blog continue to scale along with their new brewery expansion, keeping fans abreast of the latest Troegs brew news.
Herr's is a widely-known name that's synonymous with snacks. They came to us looking for ways of equipping their national sales team with tools to grab the attention of buyers at retail chains. The result was nationalsales.herrs.com, a simple website that provides retailers with all the information they need on why Herr's products should be on their shelves.
Six Month Smiles are cosmetic braces that live up to their six-month promise. But what makes them special is that dentists can implement the braces themselves! Six Month Smiles asked us to produce their two-tiered campaign for both patients & dentists!

After giving a fresh new look to their website, complete with a unique custom video carousel, we followed up with site maintenance and an on going (and effective) email campaign.
Where Your Music is a nonprofit charity project. Musical artists donate their guitar strings. WYM turns them into a bracelet. The bracelet is sold on an e-commerce website that we designed. Then the profit goes to the charity of the artist's choosing.

Since the website has gone live, it has delivered exactly what the fans want: a way to have a piece of the music they love and support the causes their favorite artists are most excited about.
Arooga's has quickly become one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in Central PA. To keep up with that demand, they needed a dynamic website that allowed them to make changes as new locations opened. We provided support to the rapid changes by producing a unique email campaign, alerting patrons to upcoming fights and sporting events they can catch at their favorite Arooga's.
Can you believe it's been more than 150 years since the Battle of Gettysburg? The Gettysburg Convention and Visitors bureau wanted to do something special to commemorate this historical event.

First, we created an anniversary website to inform and connect guests to everything in Gettysburg. Then we created a handy walking tour app. Finally, a useful mobile site for GCVB, keeps everyone in the loop on events leading up to the 150th.

While some are busy deciding whether the glass is half full or half empty, we're busy raising our glasses in the name of creativity - to great ideas and even better design and to the free thinkers, innovators, and creators that make those ideas come to life.

We believe great ideas happen outside the cubicle. We tend to favor opan air offices, high ceilings, and the occasional pub over stuffy conference rooms.

So whether it's the 11th hour and you need a cold one, or it's 5 o'clock somewhere and you're ready to raise your spirits, the breakthrough creative is on us.

Have an idea you'd like to discuss over a drink? Connect with us.
