Shepherd Moves to New Digs

Winter 2008 NewsletterExciting changes are afoot for Shepherd Interactive. We’ve moved to a new office space at 5210 Southwest Corbett Avenue, very close to our old home. We grew tired of scraping our knuckles on the ceiling every time we stretched, bumping into each other in the kitchen, and double-booking the conference room.

Thanks to you, our clients, Shepherd Interactive is growing and expanding our offerings. We can now offer three meeting rooms, a better view, and more resources to meet your business needs.

Please update your records to reflect our new address:

Shepherd Interactive
5210 Southwest Corbett Avenue
Portland, OR 97239

We hope we can show you around sometime soon.

Stop by any time!

Thank You for a Great 2008!

Shepherd Interactive thanks our clients for a great year, one in which we
were involved in many great projects, such as these:

  • Shepherd launched a new interactive, Flash-based website for Burgerville. We also created a 6-minute video that highlighted the legacy of Burgerville leaders, and serves as a foundation for their culture.
  • The Center for Career and Academic Achievement now has a website they can update themselves, thanks to Shepherd Interactive creatively leveraging an open-source CMS platform.
  • Our new website for Continū serves as a key communication tool for their data backup and recovery business.
  • An open source CMS solution went into the construction of E-Tech Recycling’s new website, which helps them achieve their mission of recycling all of the consumer electronics they take in.

Everyone at Shepherd is looking forward to pushing the boundaries even more and creating great solutions for our clients in 2009!

2 O’Clock Rock

Each day at 2:00 PM,(give or take 2-3 hours, we declare “2 O’CLOCK ROCK!” We take turns playing a personal favorite, a song that’s been stuck in out head, or just something ridiculously abstract to get a laugh. It works.

Our recent favorites:

  • “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi (Single, part of “The Biz”)
  • “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. (Ghostbusters Soundtrack)
  • “Keepin’ the Faith (Just a Touch edit)” by De La Soul (12″ single)
