Happy 233rd Birthday, America!
06.24.09
Filming a corporate video today. This one for long-time client Cardinal Health, this part of which is soon to be spin-off CareFusion. Palm Springs yesterday, San Diego today, St. Louis and El Paso later this week. Say hello to (l to r) Director Tom Seawell, AC Agathe Padovani, and Account Manager Michael Grace!
06.15.09
Flying, mooing, slingshot cows kick-off Wild Week Two for Cisco Systems are big Switching and Routing sales promotion for Cisco resellers all over North America. Deliverables included banners, fliers, stickers, website, and giveaways.
06.09.09
We always like to talk about our projects until the cows come home. Today they literally did. We could tell you more, but not before Monday when our client launches their promo. Until then, Caution: Stampede Ahead.
06.08.09
Shot in and around our office (recognize that woman hard at work in the background?), this is one of our recent projects with Qualcomm--as always, one of the leaders in inventing technology, QChat is just one more cool feature on their chips.
05.29.09
And you thought granite was cool (that's so '90s). Before you remodel your kitchen or bathroom, check out CaesarStone's Color Expressions. So if the MiFi didn't make you lust to spend money, this one ought to get you.
05.20.09
Novatel's MiFi is exactly the kind of new product that makes us crazy with desire. (Sorry, but it does!) Working with our good friends at MiresBall, with a week until the premiere in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress, we made this snappy little film that should kindle some desire in your geeky little heart. Unfortunately Mark and Susan Lyon didn't get to go to Barcelona.
05.14.09
This is Michael Grace's first out-of-town shoot and DFW has weather issues. He has to get the crew home from Indianapolis for the next day's work. Who needs reality TV?
04.22.09
Earth Day 2009! We have all new power strips that stop our computers from using zombie power. (Guess VG's Donuts was sold out when the boss stopped by.)
04.02.09
No kidding, it's a Wild Week at Cisco, but if you think the graphics are fun, you should see the slingshot screaming monkeys!
04.01.09
Congratulations to Susan and Mark -- little Aurora Lyon is due Oct. 1!
03.20.09
Trade show graphic and film season is in full swing here in San Diego. Imagine Communications' booth (shown last year) has new graphics and is off to The Cable Show in DC.
03.06.09
Will work for food (especially when the job is a direct mail piece for the new Nestlé Lil' Drums frozen treat!)
01.20.09
Happy Inauguration Day. We're delighted to have a Blackberry-using President, but only because there were no iPhone-using candidates.
01.12.09
Axio Power is part of the green revolution you read about. Because we're definitely not giving up any of our electricity-using computers, iPods, TVs, iPod docks, etc. We're all really hoping to buy some solar energy so we don't have to feel so guilty.
12.24.08
We so appreciate all our clients snowing us in with work throughout 2008. Susan's always on email, so contact her if you need anything on a closed day these holiday weeks.
12.12.08
We just received a Telly Award for a series of corporate films we made with our friends at Tellabs.
12.02.08
We're generally reluctant to show work in progress, but we couldn't resist this little one. Designed by Alyssa Panichella (production assistant, Chris Panichella). Photography courtesy of client Tri-City Medical Center.
11.13.08
We need an agency, STAT! We just submitted our response to a branding RFP at Tri-City Medical Center. We've been working with Tri-City on other projects all year—hopefully we'll get to expand our relationship in 2009!
11.13.08
While we love our roots in print and web, video production is an increasing part of our advertising agency's workload.
10.30.08
Our own Jessica Steiniger hits the beach to take some shots for this year's holiday gift. Looks like we're in for another harsh winter in Solana Beach...
08.15.08
If you don't think research is sexy and creative, you haven't met the great minds at Hypothesis. They do high-level research (no Survey Monkeys for them) with an array of very impressive clients. Plus their taste is impeccable. With a new location in the Fine Arts Building in downtown Los Angeles, they needed a site at the same level.
08.01.08
EquityKey's website is our newest launch with a very exciting new client, too bad the financial product is only for 65 and up. EquityKey knew we needed to speak to potential customers in an honest, documentary tone so all our stars were actual customers and terrific, enjoyable people. Now we know for sure that 65 is the new 45.
07.09.08
Buzztime's digital signage is going to clean up tables in bars--no more sticky table tents-- but you'll probably be eating a lot more Happy Hour chicken wings when they're on special.
06.17.08
We showed you the Sonance product ad and now we're unveiling this little strip show. For anyone who wasn't as sure as we were that technology is the sexiest market of all.
06.01.08
Sonance's Architectural Series, the first truly flush in-wall speakers (September issue of Dwell, pick it up July 29). If that nasty little rim on your ceiling or wall speakers has been bothering you, this is the product to buy. Of course, you have to buy a house first. (See 11.13.06.)
04.11.08
Our newest Account Manager isn't quite as young as this photo would have you think.
04.01.08
Happy April Fools Day!
03.24.08
It's official, this is our new home. We've taken the second floor, with an ocean breeze, lots of windows, and an even more energetic new vibe. The Cedros Design District. 224 South Cedros, Solana Beach. 858-350-4797. Our postal carrier would like you to add Suite D to any mail.
02.01.08
Check this out – a new website (and brand) for Imagine Communications. It's got video, it's got bright colors, it's even got a cool "whooooosh" sound effect when you spin the TVs. See it at
www.imaginecommunications.com
01.21.08
Filming on location for our latest PSA with the California Center for Sustainable Energy.

LYON has a new home away from home—and it's ridiculously posh. One of our recent ads for Sonance, makers of the world's most stylish speakers, appeared this month in Dwell magazine. Stay tuned for fresh Sonance creative in the weeks ahead!
11.21.07
We'll be closed tomorrow and Friday to celebrate Thanksgiving. Have a happy turkey day and we'll see you next week.

Need a candy refill?
08.13.07
Some creative advertising agencies would shudder at the thought of designing a 300-page technical guide. Not LYON. We welcome the opportunity to dive into the details. These three guides we recently completed for Cisco are a prime example.
07.27.07
33 North is taking a fresh approach to data services. We wanted their logo to do the same.
07.04.07
Happy Independence Day. The office is closed.
06.29.07
Another piece of the marketing puzzle for Cisco Partner Career Fairs. These Flash web banners appeared on USA Today and Business Week websites.
06.06.07
LYON’s going national with theses ads in USA Today, The Boston Globe, and The San Jose Mercury News to recruit talented IT professional to work for Cisco Partners.
05.24.07
Cisco Partner, CDW-G, asked us to adapt these print ads for their national trade publications.
05.10.07
Quova (a new client but we’re working with our old friends from 3Com co-op advertising days) helps their customers pinpoint the location of users. Too big brother for you? Well, gambling sites are legally compelled to bar US-based gamblers.
04.26.07
Here's our latest creations for Infinera, a corporate brochure and folder, showing the latest evolution of a brand we've developed since the global leader in optical networks was founded.
04.03.07
