In 2012, DE's "Toyota Today" campaign helped Toyota secure its foothold as the region's best-selling automotive brand. Transitioning to 2013, DE aims to build on the success of the past year with an emphasis on Southern California Toyota dealers' compelling tagline, "We make it easy." By speaking directly to the sensibilities of its SoCal customers, DE will position the dealerships and its employees as the people who deliver exactly what SoCal drivers want: a simplified buying process, worry-free ownership, and unparalleled fuel-efficiency. The campaign is a marriage of strategy, messaging, and visually stunning design, leaving the consumer with one simple takeaway: We make it easy.

The PDX Project started out as an idea to give artists a voice to tell their story through art and to showcase the positive impact it can have on a community. Renowned graf artist and designer "Stash" created an artistic interpretation of the City of Portland that celebrates the diversity of the community: the people, cultures, subcultures and landscapes. His work depicts how people's lives are intrinsically tied together by a series of unique lampposts and bridges. Stash hopes his art will act as a springboard to inspire local artists. The project was sponsored by local McDonald's restaurant owner/operators and will also help to raise funds for the local Ronald McDonald House Charity in Portland.
