Barcelona Creative Group Helps Local Non-Profit Launch Digital Annual Report

In an effort to lower costs and respect the environment, has recently designed a digital, interactive annual report for the Palos Heights Public Library, which serves more than 12,000 city residents.

Entitled “New Technology. New Opportunities.” the brief report is available online at www.palosheightslibrary.org/2011annualreport and includes an overview of special events and developments that contributed to a very successful year in 2011. Residents of southwest suburban Palos Heights who are unable to access the Internet in their homes are invited to visit the library where they can read the report either online or in print. Those with smart phones or tablets can also access the report by scanning a QR code that appears on a standard 4” x 6” postcard mailed to all postal patrons.

Juli Barcelona, President of Barcelona Creative Group, said “When the library told us it was critical that we find a way to produce their 2011 annual report as cost efficiently as possible, we suggested our new interactive, digital technology rather than mailing a printed piece to every resident. It’s a great way to include photographs and features that may have otherwise ended up on the cutting room floor.”

Barcelona Creative Group is a marketing and branding firm founded in Palos Heights more than 22 years ago. While its original focus was on graphic design and traditional forms of media advertising, the agency has expanded to specialize in branding and strategic marketing, as well as all forms of traditional and digital media management, website development and social media engagement.
