For Release: May 31, 2005Media Contact: Chris Kochmanski (734/944-8705, chris@design-hub.com)DesignHub Produces New Brochure for Ann Arbor IT ZoneSALINE, MI – DesignHub, Inc., a creative services and marketing firm headquartered in Saline, has produced a new brochure and programs preview material for the Ann Arbor IT Zone, the area’s premier technology networking group. The brochure – a full-color, eight-panel, gatefold-style piece – is built around the theme “Learn more. Network better.” It describes the IT Zone’s popular “Tuesday Zone” programs, in which the area’s technology business leaders and consultants lead educational sessions on Tuesday evenings throughout the year under the series headings “Tales from the Trenches,” “Marketing 201,” and “What’s Hot in Hi-Tech.” The brochure also highlights affiliated programs, conducted with the IT Zone’s assistance at the organization’s headquarters at SPARK Central in downtown Ann Arbor. These include: Creativity Forum, Lunch ‘n’ Learn, Rob Pasick’s LeadersConnect, Selling Smart, and Tech and the Law. The Ann Arbor IT Zone is a SPARK Partner Organization. In a center spread entitled “The Six Degrees of Sam Fine,” the new IT Zone brochure features many prominent area businesspeople who regularly participate in the organization’s events. The graphic lightheartedly puts longtime area marketing executive and consultant Sam Fine at center stage. Fine currently operates his own marketing strategy and services firm, Intermedia LLC, in Ann Arbor. DesignHub has also created a full-color, four-panel flyer and an oversized tabletop display to preview the IT Zone’s “Tuesday Zone” programs for fall 2005. Scheduled speakers include: Ray Schiavone, president and CEO of Arbortext, Inc.; Steve Glauberman, founder, chairman, and CEO of Enlighten, Inc.; and Bob Nero, chief executive officer of Sircon Corp. Arbortext and Enlighten are based in Ann Arbor, while Sircon has its headquarters in Okemos, MI, near Lansing. More information on the Ann Arbor IT Zone is available from the organization at 330 E.
