St Pete Has Designs on Success

St. Petersburg, FL – May 3rd 2010 – St Petersburg is starting to receive overdue recognition as an outstanding center for art and design. The 600 Block arts precinct launches this weekend and provides a commercial center for artists to display their work. The new Dali Museum is nearing completion and will open later this year. Last weekend, St Petersburg Advertising Agency Clear pH picked up 4 District Addy Awards for Commercial Advertising excellence in Florida, The Caribbean and Virgin Islands. With the success of Clear pH in the commercial design world, the future for arts and design in the city looks promising.

Clear pH presents another feature unique to St Petersburg; a diverse multinational and multicultural community. Clear pH Creative Director, Richard Hughes, is an example of this multiculturalism. Hughes is British born and was raised in Nigeria while attending school in Wales. Hughes completed his design education in Cambridge, England, before serving his design apprenticeship in Dubai.

Clear pH Marketing Director, Jason Hutty, is Australian born, completed high school in Michigan before tuning his skills in Sydney. Hutty has lived in St Pete for several years with his American wife and Australian born son.

Why is it then that St Petersburg attracts this international talent? “St Petersburg has such a strong arts community, and for a foreign national in our line of business, the wealth of creative and technical talent here, combined with beautiful weather, access to the East Coast Market and to Europe makes St Petersburg the perfect place to set up shop” said Hughes, from Clear pH’s St. Pete offices. “There is a brilliant, growing talent pool all around us, from Graphic Design right through to technology specialists, Videographers and Photographers, as well as an amazing Fine Art community – we can find the talent we need right here in town. The town has come a long way and it's just getting better and better. That is why we are proud not only to win these awards for our clients but for this city!"

Hughes adds, “Our firm is a fantastic combination of International ideas and American talent. Our success really can’t happen without input from an energetic, creative and enthusiastic team of people, and St Pete provides that in spades”.
