Mix My Granola
Granola, while very popular within the organic / whole food industry, was less well known as a self made mix. To help promote the ease-of-use and overall benefits of Mix My Granola with a broader range of people, David Steinberg and Branding Forces developed a playful and creative mixing experience for the community.
Our solution consists of the MixMyGranola Container, which houses a rich set of AJAX codes designed by Branding Forces.
The MixMyGranola Container allows the user to quickly access and manage their favorite mixes, as well as accessing on the fly pre-made mixes by the MMG team or browsing the mixes by all customers. Users can also add personalized their own mixes to customize the experience.
Company
MixMyGranola, Inc. was founded in 2008 and is a privately held Delaware corporation. The MixMyGranola headquarters and mixing plant in which we mix our delicious custom-made granola are located in sunny Miami, Florida.
The Container
Each container holds 16 ounces of delicious granola and has an individual label on the back stating the exact nutrition facts of your custom-made granola mix and its ingredients. Each label also includes an individual Mix-ID that allows you (or anyone else) to re-order your favorite mix by entering the Mix-ID at MixMyGranola.com. The inside of the container is aluminum coated to keep your granola fresh and dry. It is sealed with a white plastic plug which is locked by “Freshness Guaranteed” stickers to maintain the highest quality that you can expect from MixMyGranola.
Ami James
So Ami James and his shop is expanding, locals making it big, fueled by big ideas. And as after-care has always been a vital part of protecting new tattoos, the next big idea came in the form of the guys giving their fans a worthy and complete kit, rather then just the traditional advice on what you should do after leaving the shop. With Miami Ink being a showcase of artists, it was only natural the kit followed artistic suit, the first of the line featuring original signature art from one Ami James. Branding Forces took his kick-ass individual artwork and product information and blended it into a kick-ass design. Branding Forces then applied the design themes to each of the 4 products in the kit, as well as created a truly unique interior velum for each collector. There are times in life when it’s just time to rock.
Ruthless & Toothless
People just need to look at us to know we have a particular look, one we feel strongly about. But when people see our kids, it’s hard for that look to come through. We’ve searched and searched and searched, and haven’t found much for our kids that reflect and define who we are as parents. And in talking to our family, friends and fans, we’ve found we are not alone. So, we saw the need, saw a chance to do something real for our kids, and we created Ruthless & Toothess.
We’ve put in a lot of work to make R&T a true outlet of our artistic expression, and a place where we can extend our tattooed lifestyle to our children. And you can be sure of this- the designs of Ruthless & Toothless are originals. Straight from our sketch pads to your kid’s room.
We’ve got some big things in the works for Ruthless & Toothless, and we invite you to come along with us as we grow. It’s going to be a great ride.

Miami Ad School
David Steinberg is a MAS allumni and taking on this account was great pleasure for him. The first step in the 2 year overhauling process was to allow users to gain instantly more access to the vast amount of possibilities the school offers. Form exploring the schools international destinations and learning what in particular is being offered, the new website had to do it all. Our team worked closely with Pippa and Ron Seichrist to ensure proper outcome.
The main website features now in depth a curriculum, showcasing what the different is between base schools, internships and greenhouses, a new student work section was crafted, showcasing over 500 different top award winning designs.
Badrutts Place
It is place of European Elegance. It is place rooted in history and tradition on an Epic scale. It is a place of dramatic beauty and style that is truly unlike any other in Miami, as one simple visit will testify to. It is Badrutt’s Place, and it is a place that was in need of a Branding Force strong enough to deliver it’s strong message of class and style. And wouldn’t you know it, we just happen to be Branding Forces. And thus a perfect partnership emerged. And the word was spread. and was message was made, and the people approved. And as a result, Badrutt’s is a place that is taking a place at the top of the Miami scene.
Catalina Lighting
Catalina, a local lighting company with national reach via folks such as Home Depot and Target, really needed to, well, light up their image. And so, pun aside, they turned us on to the project, and we plugged in our creative capabilities so as to cast them in the best light (did we already use light?) possible. Thus, the illumination was initiated and four brand- spanking and brand- building ads were created. Enjoy! (no puns were harmed during the writing of this blurb)
Casa Casuarina
Ah, Casa Casaurina, the beach best, right up there amongst the world most exclusive private boutique memberships. Forever a place where tourists flock to photograph and murmur to each other about the splendors and glorious past that can be found inside. And for this most prestigious as well as famous dwelling, a members-only website worthy of such an establishment was needed.
So in stepped David Steinberg / Branding Forces. Creating, programming and designing a website that served as an online concierge. Providing for whims and needs beyond what most members even knew they had, a considerable job seeing that the whims and needs of these members was already pretty whimsical. Ultimately, BF formed an experience for members that put the online version of the Casa on par with the standards associated with the real world equivalent by providing the relevant tools and information they need so that they feel, even when surfing from afar, they were still part of the privileged few to have this Casa as their own.

Background
Casa Casuarina was built in 1930 by architect, philanthropist, author and political reformer Alden Freeman as an homage to the oldest existing house in the western hemisphere, the “Alcazar de Colon” in Santo Domingo. The Alcazar was home to Christopher Columbus’ son Diego in 1510. Freeman chose to use it as inspiration because of his life-long veneration of Christopher Columbus. Indeed, one of the Casa’s cornerstones contains original brick from the “Alcazar de Colon”.
Smith & Wesson - The Fragrance
This one really smelled. Smelled quite delightful, actually, as Smith & Wesson, The Fragrance is made from a rare type of Caribbean lime. That said, Parley Cosmetics needed a store to sell this delightful fragrance from, an online store. As well as a very strong branding website. One that conveyed strength along with that delightful smell. So David Steinberg / Branding Forces took the fragrance and developed a store for it to be sold, along with a website to announce it to the world. The store was completely original, 100% flash driven, formed with the thought in mind of creating a strong online shopping experience. The website, that was like the fragrance in very nearly every way (strong, sophisticated, high-end, manly) ex-cept for the fact that the website ended up, no matter how much scratching and sniffing you did, odorless. Although it still gave S&W the means to make the whole world over smell better through sales.
