Remembering Summer at Marker Seven
The weather is cooling down in San Francisco and we're quickly approaching rainy season. Tahoe already got its first snow and while we welcome the winter with open arms (several avid skiers and snowboarders leave work early on Fridays for a trip to the mountains throughout the winter), we are hanging on to the warm memories of summer.
This summer, some of us at Marker Seven took some time off to adventure. Some went far, and some stayed near; a luxury to those fortunate enough to live in this state and city. Without further ado, here are some people, places, and things brought to you by the people of Marker Seven Interactive.

Continental Resources Web site wins Interactive Media Award’s Best In Class
"Continental Resources was the type of client interactive agencies dream about," said Scott Abbott, creative director at Marker Seven.

"Our in-depth discovery process helped us understand the client was extremely technology focused, yet cared immensely about the environment and communities it operates in. We were able to express all of those facets in the site via a variety of content and features, not the least of which was fantastic custom imagery we chose to use as the visual centerpiece of the site."
The Best in Class award is the highest honor bestowed by the...
