Foreign Languages and Life at Crossover Graphics

Bonjour, ami. Hola, amiga. привет, друг (privet druk). As of late, we’ve been starting off our mornings speaking in languages we pretend to know. Kate, the marketing director, and Lindsey, the receptionist, chatter in the French they learned in elementary school and high school. But pretty soon, they’re asking each other to repeat words. Sarah, a graphic designer, cheerily throws in “¿Cómo estás?” (how are you?), the only Spanish she remembers. She is confused because the “Spanish” Lindsey and Kate are speaking seems quite unfamiliar. And then I might throw in some Russian just for the fun of it - “simpatichenee utka?” (“cute duck,” anyone?)

Over the last few weeks, life at Crossover Graphics has continued to get busier. With the establishment of Crossover’s new division, CGP Marketing & Advertising, and the addition of new employees from Crossover’s engagement with another adversing firm, work shows no signs of slowing down. However, we are very excited about the new challenges and opportunities ahead.

We’ve recently rearranged offices in order to fit everyone. A fun addition to our office space is a small conference room complete with a coffee maker and different flavors of latte syrup. Yum!

Last Friday, our office received a visit from Jaycee, Crossover’s mascot. The CEO’s 10-year-old daughter, Desiree Tillman, was in the office and wanted to try out the Jaycee costume. She had fun clomping around in the oversized costume, shaking people’s hands, and handing out pictures she had drawn for everyone.

Yes, life continues to be busy, but it are those little moments that make it all worthwhile. It’s hearing stories about the amazing accomplishments of ministries and businesses we work with; it’s laughing hysterically at a unintended pun that’s really not that funny; it’s praying together when others are hurting; it’s doing life together. And that, mon ami, es magnífico in whatever language you speak.

New Marketing Division Opened by Former Homeless Woman

(Olathe, KS; July 28, 2009)-- Crossover Graphics, a design firm headquartered in Olathe, KS recently engaged with Radtke Tomberlin Marketing in the opening of new division, CGP Marketing & Advertising. Crossover Graphics’ owner and CEO, Stephanie Tillman, was formerly homeless, but now owns a flourishing company that has experienced 178% growth in sales since January, with projections showing 813% growth in sales by year end.

Radtke Tomberlin, the company Crossover Graphics has engaged, was a marketing and advertising company for thirty plus years, and has worked for large corporations such as Embarq and Sprint. Three of Radtke Tomberlin’s employees are joining the Crossover Team: an account manager, a designer, and a programmer.

While these new employees will assist in the daily affairs at Crossover Graphics, their primary focus will be CGP Marketing & Advertising, a new division of Crossover dedicated to providing marketing and advertising services. On July 27, 2009, the new employees began their jobs, and on August 17, 2009, the CGP Marketing website will go live.

The new processes and procedures obtained from this engagement will allow Crossover Graphics to streamline communication and increase efficiency in their business transactions.

Tillman is thrilled with the new addition to Crossover Graphics. She says, “It has been an amazing journey from where I was seven years ago, homeless, to this - owning a company that is growing so fast that I can barely keep up with it.” Tillman is especially excited about this venture because “gaining thirty years of experience with various processes and procedures will allow us to offer our clients even more high-quality services.”
