New site reflects leadership, innovation and inspiration of New York's premiere business forum
New York (January 27, 2006) - THUNDER FACTORY, the fast-growing integrated marketing firm delivering performance-driven results to blue chip clients worldwide, has just completed the Web site redesign for The Executive Council of New York, a highly acclaimed business network for senior executives, their advisors and capital markets professionals.
The new site will support The Executive Council of New York's member base of more 3,500 business leaders. It will also serve as an effective tool in keeping members informed on the Council's high profile conferences, executive education programs and member-hosted gatherings. Additionally, the site will focus on critical business and leadership issues at the forefront of corporate America today by acting as an online hub for relevant research and white papers from major companies comprising the Executive Council's membership.
"The redesign reflects the growth and broad industry focus of the Executive Council's members," stated Bob Johnston, president & executive director of The Executive Council of New York. "With the help of the strong team we worked with at THUNDER FACTORY, we examined the architecture and the user journey with a fresh perspective. The new site offers a more streamlined and clean approach and is truly representative of where we are today. We interviewed the top integrated marketing firms in the country for this project and THUNDER FACTORY'S team is best of class."
"THUNDER FACTORY opened its New York office in 2005 and we couldn't have asked for a more prestigious client to be our ambassador in this critically important market," said Patrick U. Di Chiro, chairman and CEO of THUNDER FACTORY, which is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. "THUNDER FACTORY brought a combination of strategic insights and strong creative execution to the table for the Executive Council's new Web site design, which is now cleaner, more contemporary and provides better navigation for its members."
The new look and feel of the site, combined with easy-to-navigate information architecture, creates an environment that complements and reflects The Executive Council of New York's brand repositioning of "Innovate, Inspire." Additionally, the site features resources for effective networking tools, including member directories, special offers and a list of advisory board members.
