Over the Years, We’ve Dealt with a Lot of Issues
When you’ve been around for 40 years, you overcome your share of challenges. One of our largest-scale projects was for one of our longest-tenured clients. For Verizon’s directory publishing division, SullivanPerkins served for 20 years as the collateral agency of record, producing an array of marketing materials. A major publishing project saw us overseeing writing,…

Delivering the Rough Idea
In 2007, we designed an issue of Rough, the magazine of the Dallas Society of Visual Communications. From the 30% post-consumer-waste paper it was printed on to its whimsical, irreverent illustrations, this issue took on the of-the-moment theme of recycling. So it’s only fitting we repurpose it here as part of #SPis40 series. Check out…

We Don’t Feel So Old Now
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary with our ongoing #SPis40 series, we turn our attention to the Ursuline Academy of Dallas. Founded in 1874, this longtime client is the oldest continuously operating school in the city. In fact, Ursuline traces its roots all the way back to 1535 when the Ursuline order of nuns was…

A Touching Experience
We’re up to 2004 in our #SPis40 series, and the project we’re dialing up to highlight is a brochure for Nokia, for whom we supported the launch of new phones for 10 years. And they kept us busy: back then nearly one in three mobile phones sold in the U.S. were Nokia phones. In order…

Today’s Special: Fresh Creativity
Another taste of our #SPis40 series. Today, we’re highlighting the poster we served up for DFW Restaurant Week in 2003, featuring a whimsical illustration of a foodie uniquely equipped to sample all the best of the area’s eateries. This multi-armed character also had legs: some version of him was used in Restaurant Week promotions for…

A Hullabaloo in 2002!
We’re up to 2002 in our year-long celebration of four decades of creative solutions from SullivanPerkins. In the spotlight this week: a fun poster for a festival at Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, Texas.

Rewarding Belief in Our Creativity
We’re up to 2001 in our #SPis40 celebration. Back then, there were some staggering statistics associated with Verizon Directories, such as the fact they were placed in nearly every household in 48 states and practically every hotel room in the country. We highlighted the incredible market reach of these directories with whimsical believe-it-or-not-style illustrations in…

A Sock-sessful Relationship
Remember that icon of the early dot-com era, the Pets.com sock puppet? We had a hand – literally – in creating numerous executions starring the Puppet, including print ads, direct mail, ecards, mugs, and these holiday cards we’re spotlighting for the year 2001 in our #SPis40 series. Check out the video.

Reinforcing Relationships
Commercial Metals Company is one of the few clients that make us feel like a relative youngster as we celebrate our #SPis40 campaign. We literally wrote – and designed – the book on CMC’s 100th anniversary back in 2015. But this week we’re spotlighting one of the more than 20 annual reports we handled for…
