RUFF ROLLIN’ is a family owned company founded in the heart of the Northern Rockies, in Bozeman, Montana. We are committed to one thing; we will provide you and your dog with the best possible experience during this difficult time. I began a career building wheelchairs for disabled dogs 12 years ago, working with some of the top companies and veterinary professionals in the industry. It has been one of the greatest and most rewarding parts of my life. After helping countless dogs gain back their mobility and dignity, I can’t imagine doing anything else. My wife, Sierra, and I bring a combined 13 years of experience in this industry to the table. Sierra also brings an additional 16 years of customer service.
Together we provide compassion, humility, trust and a promise to serve your needs and exceed your expectations. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide your dog with a new lease on life!

Sincerely,
Jason and Sierra Christofferson
Owners

PBS Antiques Roadshow 15-second Television Spot

QUESTION:

What do you do when one of your favorite clients comes to you with an opportunity to create something for public television?

ANSWER:

ehhhh... you jump up and down & say "Yes, Please! and Thank you!"

The graphics that we created for the Community Closet Thrift Store, combined with the fabulous creative vision Caron Cooper brings to any project, resulted in nothing less than sheer genius for a mere 15-seconds. (ahem, yes... we are a bit partisan, we like it!).

FOOTNOTE: Caron Cooper is the Executive Director of the Community Closet Thrift Store.

Social Media Revolution

"It's a fad, it won't last...", or will it?
Facebook, YouTUBE, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Digg,... the list goes on and on. They represent the fastest growing entities on the web. If you haven't considered utilizing these tools for personal or business communication, now is the time.! From mobile devices to the iPad, staying connected has literally never been so easy. Word of mouth travels at the speed of,... well, high speed internet.

I realized the importance of embracing these tools a couple of years ago at a family gathering in the scenic mountains outside of Cascade, Montana when I asked one of my younger (Gen Y) cousins for his email address. He simply looked at me like I was asking for a cassette tape of "Men at Work" or some other infamous 80's band he'd never heard of, and replied "Well I could give you my email address, but I never check it. I really only communicate via MySpace or Facebook." I was floored, and intrigued. Upon return to my home in Livingston, Montana I immediately went online to figure out this new wave of internet communication. It didn't take long for me to realize that email communication lacked personality and interactivity; whereas, Social Networking sites provided immediate connectivity with friends around the world. Photos, videos, updates, news feeds,... I was sold.

This is bigger than the Industrial Revolution. [watch]

Trade Show Booth Design for Regulatory Specialists

Every once in awhile, a project comes along that is not only great in it's potential for creative, but large in scale. This particular Trade Show Booth was one of those projects, and was also one that was long overdue for the client. To add another twist to the creative side, time was also a key factor as it was under the gun for the Printer to produce in time for the show. Always up for a challenge, with only 3 1/2 business days to create, we got right to work. Creative started Friday, January 22nd at 5pm, and was due for FTP upload by Noon on Thursday, January 28th. As is typical with file sizes of this nature, transferring via FTP can be a challenge. The main files took about 47 minutes to send; with the subsidiary file about half of that. The folks at SKYLINE Orange County were wonderful to work with, and really went the extra mile to make sure the booth turned out as we intended. Thanks to Robyn, Grace and Greg Holland at Regulatory Specialists for the opportunity to create their new Trade Show Booth!
