WHEN<\/strong>: \u00a0October 2013<\/p>\n CLIENT<\/strong>: \u00a0Progress Software<\/p>\n MISSION<\/strong>: \u00a0Showcase the new software product, Easyl, and increase interaction with new prospects during Dreamforce 2013 by creating a memorable, stand-out presentation in their booth.<\/p>\n SCOPE<\/strong> OF WORK<\/strong>: \u00a0Research, design and create an 8\u2019 x 15\u2019 canvas mural to be painted live, during the first three days of Dreamforce. The painting was designed to cleverly illustrate the complicated workings of the Easyl software.<\/p>\n (Easyl unites your data and dramatically simplifies the process)<\/p>\n Painting the mural live during the show added vibrance and energy to a booth where all the other booths in the show looked alike. The live painting generated energy that\u00a0drew people in, to get a closer look, and Progress Sales staff could then engage the customers more easily.<\/p>\n RESULTS: \u00a0Progress Software booth traffic increased significantly from the previous year. \u00a0They stood out amongst their <\/p>\n Day 1 Progress of Mural Painting<\/p><\/div>\n Canvas panels prepped,sketched on and ready to go to Dreamforce!<\/p><\/div>\n DAILY MURAL PROGRESS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n DAY 1<\/strong><\/span>: This mural has 3 major components to it; the illustration of Quick access to your Data, Data Direct and Easyl, the magic bringing it all together.<\/p>\n I used Uni Posca Paint Pens\u00a0on the entire painting! \u00a0They are non-messy, have no smell, and dry quickly.<\/p>\n The crowds response to the mural was extremely positive. We heard a lot of people say “this is the most creative booth we’ve seen here!”<\/p>\n PROGRESS UPDATE, DAY 2<\/strong><\/span>: I’ve been painting it with Posca Paint Pens, which seems like a tedious medium for a huge surface, but it’s allowing me to keep the colors vibrant and to get the detail and color blending that I want.<\/p>\n PROGRESS DAY 3:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong>First, I made it my plan to get\u00a0rid of all the remaining white. \u00a0Then, add in all the little bells and whistles that make a painting go from good to great; like the highlights, shadows. \u00a0\u00a0We\u00a0encouraged people to get their picture taken in front of it. \u00a0It was a great photo opportunity!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/em>CASE STUDY:<\/strong> \u00a0Illustrate Progress Software’s new product, Easyl, in a live painting at Dreamforce in San Francisco.

\nMy main goal was to get one third of it painted. I focused first on the Progress Sofware and Easyl logos for quick brand recognition as I worked on the rest.<\/p>\n
\nMy goal was to get the next 30% painted and to give it vibrant energy. \u00a0And I did that. \u00a0The response of attendees has been phenomenal – so many people coming by the booth to see it!<\/p>\n
