Forest Technology Systems
Forest Technology Systems began in 1980 with a focus on the fire weather meteorological niche. Their customers included 100% of the top 50 forest management agencies in the world. Later they entered the Hydrological monitoring market, with the same focus on reliability, product durability and operational simplicity as the fire weather market demands. We did a complete re-brand of the the company and then functioned as the marketing department from 2009 to 2015, during which time their revenues doubled from about $5.5 million to over $11 million.

Collateral (Product Catalog)
With a significant stable of both 3rd-party products and those that were designed and manufactured in-house, a product catalog in printed form and electronic (PDF) was a must.
Collateral (Product Datasheet)
We created several brand names for FTS products, including:
- Axiom (datalogger/DCP)
- AirTalk (remote audio notification system)
- SedEvent (sediment monitoring system)
- DigiTemp (digital temperature sensor)
- Eon (ultra-durable GOES antenna)
All products are still successful today.
Magazine Advertisments
FTS had been the worldwide leader in fire danger monitoring equipment for many years, but markets outside of North America did not recognize this. We developed several campaigns to position the company this way, ultimately earning significant business in Australia, China and South America.
We distributed almost 600 of these invitations at a tradeshow to promote a private party where we would unveil a new hydrological product before entertaining the crowd with a professional magician. The event was packed to capacity for the duration, enough product was sold at the show to pay for the event twice and FTS became known for fantastic parties.
