Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court Continues Advances in Technology
Jon A. Gegenheimer, the long-time Clerk of Court of Jefferson Parish, continues being on the cutting-edge of technology. His clerk’s office is known for being one of the first in the country to implement different forms of technology into the office to better serve constituents and to make the office more efficient.
Recently, Design the Planet teamed with Touch Studios to redevelop the clerk’s website which included apps for mobile devices including iPhone, Droid, and Blackberry and a mobile website. Users can access key information from the clerk’s office including real-time election results straight from their smart phone.

Brother Martin High School New Website Goes Live!
Brother Martin High School is one of the leading all-boy Catholic schools in New Orleans. The school fosters development of its students with an emphasis on character, scholarship, and the soul through strong academic, athletic, and extracurricular programs.
The new website replaces the past website developed in the 1990s and can be updated by numerous members of the faculty and staff instead of just a few individuals with HTML knowledge. It is built on a WordPress CMS (Content Management System) with different levels on control and access to different sections of the website (for example, the football coach can update the football page and not the band page). The homepage also has a place for alerts for weather, school closed, and the such.
The Brother Martin website is nearly 100% editable by the school including the navigation, news, downloads, & quick links sections. The website was refocuses to make it easier to find information and has areas for the four main users – students, parents, alumni, and future students.
Nacho Mama’s – Cinco de Mama
Just after Lent, we launched another campaign for Nacho Mama’s Mexican Grill - Cinco de Mama.
We work with our clients to not just advertise an event, but to OWN the event. By owning the event, no one can touch them and Nacho Mama’s becomes the place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, or in this case Cinco de Mama. The celebration is at all 3 of Nacho Mama’s locations, each with their own band – Los Po-Boy-Citos on Magazine, Bag of Donuts at Elmwood, and The Revivalists playing at the Gentilly location near UNO.
To promote this spectacular event, we developed an event logo and updated the look of their mama. The event was publicized in different publications including Where Y’at and Gambit, on table tents in the restaurants, billboards, the jumbotron at the Voodoo football games, radio commercials, and an event website – CincoDeMama.com. Leading up to the big day, Nacho Mama’s offered drink promotions and a chance to be a VIP at the event.
Listen to our radio spots: Countdown to Cinco and Event Announcement.
Nacho Mama’s – Lent Special
Nacho Mama’s Mexican Grill is a fun-loving restaurant that offers Mexican cuisine at three locations. A Mexican restaurant in the predominately Catholic city of New Orleans can take quite a hit during Lent when people don’t eat meat on Fridays. We developed a fun campaign promoting Nacho Mama’s seafood items as well as their meat items with a “Saintly or Sinful” campaign. To the right, you will see table tents promoting the menu items. The campaign also included print & web banner ads with local social publications.

Dots Diner
Dots Diner is a well established New Orleans icon and is widely known for their “Not You Mama…” radio commercials (which you can play on the website). We developed the website to look as if Dot made it herself. The website showcases part of Dots’ mantra – Big Taste, Big Portions, and Big Value. Dot encourages visitors to sign up for email announcements, check daily specials and “connect” with Dot via social media. All of the social media and email marketing is written in Dot’s voice and signed at the end by Dot. Dot even reminds you to call your mother because she misses you.
