2008 In Review

By Robyn Short

2008 was an extraordinary year for goodmedia. We grew our service offerings to include video production and publicity along with our publishing, graphic design, web design, and copywriting. We were blessed to have the most amazing and creative clients to work with … people who are really doing good things and making an impact on the lives with others. These clients brought projects to goodmedia that allowed us to stretch our imagination muscle as well as our skill sets. The following are just a few of our 2008 projects.
