Lookthinkmake offers brand communications and advertising services including brand identity and logo development, campaign planning, media planning and informal, interactive street marketing. The firm, which serves local, national and international clients has won twenty industry awards including a coveted national Gold ADDY.

With the integration of the skills and staff of Giant Media, lookthinkmake will now offer public relations services including media relations, content development and social media; and editorial services including writing and editing books, white papers and shortform content.

“Traditional advertising agencies are history,” says lookthinkmake partner Sean Thompson. “Advertising, public relations, and social media need to happen under one roof. The creative work that we do is only as good as the conversations it generates for our clients. With the addition of Cile and the Giant Media team, lookthinkmake is poised to tell even bigger brand stories across all media outlets.”

The principals of Giant Media and lookthinkmake first met in a series of meetings with Austin real estate developers Benchmark Development and real estate developer and consultant Terry Mitchell of MOMARK Development. Following four years of collaboration on real estate and nonprofit projects, the two communications and creative services firms decided to cement their already productive relationship.

“Our capabilities are best expressed in terms of character, intellectual horsepower and experience,” says lookthinkmake partner Cile Montgomery. “Sean, Patricia and I have personalities that conflict in a complementary way. This elevates our work.”

With the merger, lookthinkmake has a total of ten employees. With capacity to take on more work, the agency is expected to continue to grow and add both creative and communications talent.

“We launched lookthinkmake to cater to the entrepreneurial spirit, and over the past three years we’ve had the pleasure of working with clients determined to change the conversation of their industry,” says Patricia Buchholtz, lookthinkmake partner. “Our merger allows us to serve this dynamic group in a fully integrated way.”

Austin is full of color. Art Alliance Austin wanted to invite Austinites to get involved with art by finding the art all around them in the city and tell Austin’s color story. In order to do this, we created a mobile app called Cityswatch, allowing users to snap photos around town, create a color swatch and upload it onto an online gallery. Check out the demo below and download the app today.

Master builder David Dalgleish has created Frio Cañon, an exclusive second-home community on the Frio River. The 180-acre waterfront community is a place for family and friends to escape the frenetic pace of city life and connect with one another in the scenic Texas Hill Country.

Individual homes are complemented by a surrounding wilderness preserve and the scenic Texas Hill Country. On-site amenities include an extensive trail system, a river park and the Red House, the original homestead that has been converted into an entertainment area. Activities for families include swimming, tubing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, skeet shooting, bird watching, cookouts, outdoor movie nights, and evenings spent around the community campfire.

Frio Cañon was founded in 2008, when David Dalgleish purchased the land in an effort to protect the land from overdevelopment. Over the past three years, Dalgleish developed a master plan for the property, built infrastructure and began working with architects to create designs for the type of riverfront homes he imagined in the community.

For more information about Frio Cañon and the homes and sites for sale, visit the website http://www.friocanon.net/.

News of the Frio Cañon announcement landed in Robb Report’s monthly newsletter.

Late last year, master builder David Dalgleish announced the details of Frio Cañon casitas, 30 luxury mountainside vacation homes in the exclusive Frio Cañon community on the Frio River. The unique Texas Hill Country cottages will be situated throughout the second home community’s wilderness preserve and enjoy the full amenities of Frio Cañon.

The designs of the Frio Canon Casitas were created to complement one another and the surrounding landscape. Designed to accommodate large families and friends, arrangements of up to three structure on each home site offer a variety of configurations for entertaining and relaxing.

More information about Casitas and pricing are available here.
