Celebrating

PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW JERSEY’S FUTUREAfter nearly a decade of planning and designing the addition of 170 asphalt lane miles to its previous configuration, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority was proud to open its revamped roadway to the motoring public before Thanksgiving 2014. The new 12-lane (six in each direction) dual roadway design alleviates the high traffic congestion between Interchanges 6 to 9 and accommodates the Turnpike’s forecasted traffic needs through the year 2032. Stokes Creative Group, Inc. was present over the years to watch the project evolve, filming and photographing every element that a program of this magnitude encompasses – from construction milestones to ribbon-cutting ceremonies. We also developed and managed the official project website for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The site features many of the photographs and videos captured by Stokes Creative Group, Inc., as well as traffic updates and public impacts in an easy to use format.

As motorists enjoy alleviated congestion on the updated Turnpike, we are currently in the final production stage of wrapping up the last video for our multi-part series, and capturing stunning aerials of the final project design. Each video takes the viewer through the program’s many phases, including a brief history of the Turnpike, on-location interviews and highlighting the accomplishments of the comprehensive staff behind the roadway.

In late January, Nicole Pace and Kevin Mallia partnered with the Turino Group on behalf of DelDOT’s 2015 Civil Rights Summit, held at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino Conference Center. At both events, Stokes Creative Group, Inc. employees spoke to attendees about basic key marketing concepts to enhance professional growth, as well as DBE specific marketing concepts to attract prime contractors and project owners.

PUTTING ESSEX DPW ON THE MAPStokes Creative Group, Inc. recently updated the Essex County Department of Public Works website, which we originally created in 2012. The new updates include a highly customized and interactive map that allows site visitors to see the riches of the county, as well as request specific services on county roadways. Additionally, we created the content management

system (CMS) that allows the client to easily update and add community information on an as needed basis; including a pot hole reporting function. After this winter, we’re guessing it will be a busy component of the site.

In the midst of the holiday season it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle that results from all of the exciting festivities and unfortunately we sometimes forget about those that have to go without. Stokes Creative Group, Inc. encourages acts of kindness by giving back to the community. Recently, we proudly participated in two major philanthropic deeds; Toys for Tots Foundation and the Healing Hands Foundation.

Recognizing the true meaning of giving back and the real reason why we celebrate the holidays, our thoughtful employees linked up with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and participated in their annual toy drive. The organization has collected new toys for less fortunate children during the holiday season since 1947. Our team was proud to take part

in this heartwarming cause, and generously filled a massive box with gifts to help many children have a more memorable holiday experience this past December.

In addition, Stokes Creative Group, Inc. also announced that the company would officially support The Healing Hands Foundation through a donation to cover one medical procedure, and also made a commitment to hold a fundraiser event in 2015. The Healing Hands Foundation, an all-volunteer and non-profit organization, provides life-changing surgeries on children and young adults that lack medical and financial resources.
