San Diego, CA – August 2, 2010 – Upper Deck, one of the leading sports and entertainment trading card and collectibles company since 1988 has chosen Jacob Tyler to redesign their corporate Web site as well as handling design of licensed property sites. Jacob Tyler will begin the relationship by creating the new design for the Hello Kitty Web site.
“Prior to searching for an agency to help us with our brand initiatives, we had handled most design in-house”, said Jodi Wasserman, Senior Marketing & Events Manager at Upper Deck. She then added, “we had interviewed several agencies and finalized our decision with Jacob Tyler based on their results-based mentality, success in developing brands, and frankly just a great comprehensive client list and portfolio.
Les Kollegian stated, “I used to be a huge baseball card collector and LOVED Upper Deck and the quality of their cards. Ironically, my first career was designing sports-based and collectible card games for their competition, Donruss and US Playing cards.” He added, “this is a huge win for Jacob Tyler and we are thrilled that Upper Deck has chosen us to invigorate their online presence as well as their entertainment product line. We hope we can continue to create a strong emotional connection with Upper Deck customers and extend the brand to a whole new market of young sports and entertainment fans.”
Jacob Tyler will begin various projects toward the end of August and maintain an ongoing relationship with Upper Deck to re-launch their new site in 2011.
