The Digital Buzz at Stormfront Productions

The last year has been particularly busy here at Stormfront Productions. It seemed just like yesterday we were moving into our new building at 424 Main Street. It's hard to imagine that was nearly three years ago now. 

We were fortunate to have a great 2011. With the economy the way it is we all had to pitch in more than usual, but in the end we had a solid year. Many thanks to all our clients and supporters.

Our agency grew once again in 2011 as we welcomed in our new hires Marilyn Welniak, John Wineman and Oscar Trejo-Soria. We plan on further expanding the agency in early 2012. 

2011 also brought our first West Lafayette Parks and Recreations co-ed softball championship. We were excited to field a winning team this summer and look forward to protecting our championship next year. 

We were also excited to launch our latest product, FujitaCMS earlier in the year. The product gave our clients full control over managing their websites. The new framework spurred other products including FujitaMailer and FujitaGallery amongst others still in development. 

Most importantly, because we were in a good position, we were able to give back to the local community in 2011 more than ever. Stormfront Productions donated to several great causes including Kedler's Village, a website setup to help the Haitian earthquake victims and The Purdue Challenge, the Purdue Center for Cancer Research's 5K Walk / Run.

The staff and I would like to wish everybody a safe and happy New Year and a prosperous 2012.

We are prowd to announce our second haunted attraction titled "Fear 2011" as part of this year's ZombAid. The event will be held Friday, October 28th from 5:00 - 7:00pm and immediately followed by a "Zombie Walk" down Main street.

We will be featuring the interactive, haunted attraction at our office along with lots of candy for the little ones. This year's theme will include an evil carnival, outdoor graveyard, a real-time lightning simulator, live actors and lots of spooks and surprises. It will be a fun time for the whole family but be warned not everything is just a prop! We hope you'll have a spooktacular time!

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Lafayette School Corporation (LSC) makes it easier to volunteer in the district.

It's as simple as clicking the "Help LSC Today" picture at the bottom of the corporation's website.

"The app is intended to help people who would like to help our schools by volunteering or providing donations or contributions," said Superintendent Ed Eiler.

Teachers will list their needs including time, materials or money on the website. It's up to volunteers to decide what to contribute. Superintendent Ed Eiler explained the district developed the link to get parents and the community more involved in the schools.

"I wonder if there is a way to connect what people need to have done, if you can control that, with people willing to help," he said.

Those wanting to volunteer in the classroom will still need a limited criminal background check, which the site facilitates. Volunteers can begin signing up now, but the school corporation says the application will be officially launched in the fall 2011. 

This February, over three hundred of the very best college football players will be invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine (National Invitational Camp). Top Executives, Coaching Staffs, Player Personnel Departments and Medical Personnel from all 32 teams will be on hand to evaluate the nation's top college football players eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft. This intense, four-day job interview is an exciting time for the athletes and a vital step in achieving their dreams of playing in the NFL.

This year, Stormfront Productions helped our client DragonFly Athletics produce a flyer which will be distributed out to NFL teams and commissioners. DragonFly helps NFL teams view video of college games as quickly as 24 hours from the last snap. This turnaround can help save the NFL both time and money.

The NFL Scouting Combine will be held February 23 - March 1, 2011. Keep an eye out for more professional sports marketing solutions from Stormfront Productions.

Stormfront Productions, a full-service online media and marketing company based in Lafayette, Indiana has been awarded the contract to work on web media and marketing services for Josh McRoberts of the NBA's Indiana Pacers.

Josh McRoberts was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 37th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. McRoberts, a 6-foot-10-inch power forward-center, played in college for the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. In his first three season in the NBA, Josh was a high energy player off the bench who would provide a spark and intensity whenever was needed. Now after hours of hard work and commitment in the off-season, Josh has earned the starting power forward spot for the Pacers. As one of the best passing big men in the NBA, the Pacers are looking for Josh to be an integral part of the offense as a playmaker, while also providing shot blocking and rebounding on the defensive end.

McRoberts attended Carmel High School in Carmel, Indiana and led the Greyhounds in both scoring and rebounding during his senior year. He averaged 17.9 points to go along with 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 blocked shots per game and shot an impressive.593 (166-of-280) from the field while guiding the Greyhounds to a 21-4 record and a trip to the sectional championship game in 2005. McRoberts was considered the number one power forward prospect out of high school, and was projected to be drafted in the 2005 NBA Draft had he declared.

At Duke University, McRoberts averaged 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 blocked shots while leading the team (60.5%) in field goal percentage. McRoberts was named to the ACC All-Freshman team. He helped the Duke Blue Devils to a record of 32-4, the ACC regular season title, and the 2006 ACC tournament championship title by defeating the Boston College Eagles. He was also named to the third team Freshman All-America by collegehoops.net.

"We're very excited about the upcoming project with Josh and Pro One Sports Management. We feel the creative energy at our agency combined with our track record of successful online marketing campaigns will help further promote Josh's online exposure, off-the-court presence and fan interaction," said CEO & Founder Robert Theodorow.
