Circumerro Featured in Jackson Hole News & Guide

June 22, 2005 By Culture, Design

Circumerro Incorporated was once solely thought of as a travel and real estate guide publisher or as a cutting-edge design group or as a stock photography. Rarely was it thought of as a source of all three. Until Now.

With a recent move into the “little cabin” on the corner of Millward and Gill Avenue and the 10th anniversary of its inception, Circumerro Incorporated is reinventing itself, emphasizing that it specializes in more than just attractive and informative visitor and real estate guides. “We have really evolved,” said President Latham Jenkins. “Innovation comes to mind. We want to better communicate that the marketplace may utilize our three services.”

Circumerro prides itself on the ability to serve the unique needs of this mountain town and resort destination. The group publishes print guides and companion Web sites for select travel destinations around the country, including Jackson Hole Rendezvous and West Yellowstone Vacation Planner. Print guides feature beautiful imagery and are packed with helpful local information, including insider tips on where to dine, weather, geology and attractions. Web sites utilize the latest technology to make the experience visitor-friendly and memorable, including video, virtual tours and interactive maps.

The company also publishes real estate guides targeting resort markets. Jackson Hole HomeReview is one such product, focusing on an upscale audience and affluent buyers looking to invest in vacation, second-home or retirement properties. With HomeReview, available in a print edition and via the Internet, buyers can explore a range of options through one consolidated and independent source.

But that’s just part of the company’s core business. Its expertise in publishing led to the inception of Circumerro Creative Group, a full-service design studio that specializes in Web design, print brochures, branding and marketing. “There is a much stronger movement to the Web,” Jenkins said. “Sometimes a Web site can sell far better than print. We emphasize helping companies stand out in the marketplace, whatever the medium.”

As clients’ needs grew, Jenkins realized the need for photo stock to accompany products and allow Circumerro to serve clients entirely in-house. The stock collection includes images from local photographers, who Jenkins hopes will be marketed through the agency. We understand the product very well,” he said. “That helps ensure the client will find a great fit for their message versus hiring a company from a large city, which is a disconnect.

Circumerro Creative Group recently announced the launch of www.primarypolitics.com, a new Web site for The Dutko Group Companies, a public policy management firm based in Washington, D.C. The Primary Politics Web site was created for Craig Pattee and Jack Heath, founders of the successful Primary Politics e-mail newsletter.

The goal of the site is to provide a comprehensive resource for political news in all 50 states, with special emphasis placed on the New Hampshire Primary. “The new site results from our desire to create a resource and a destination for people seeking access to New Hampshire primary news, as well as state and national policy news,” said Craig Pattee, Primary Politics founder and President of The Dutko Group Companies. “Not only did Circumerro provide us with a design that puts us at the top of our field, but they also integrated the new site with a content management system that we had already invested in.”

The Web site is a combination of dynamic and static elements. Content that is entered into the existing newsletter content management system is pulled onto the site applying XSL to XML datasets. The site was built using DHTML and PHP. “Our main objective with this project was to provide the publishers with a contemporary, interactive design that offers easy access to content and an intuitive navigation,” said Noah Waterhouse, Director of Web Development at Circumerro Creative Group. “We were able to integrate the site with their existing content management system, allowing for cohesion between newsletter and Web site. The Dutko Group and its partners are a great match for our skills, and we enjoyed providing them with a site that reflects the high level of quality that their industry demands.”
