Description:
dWebz Corporation is an "Interactive Viral Marketing Agency" in which we focus on developing tools that speak to the Urban market. We have contracts with large advertising agencies here in Chicago in which we develop multiple banner ad campaigns as well as websites and micro sites. To attract more business we also opened up a shop called (URL removed)y Official - a retail store which focuses on 4 major areas within the Urban culture: Fashion, Toys, Sneakers and Art. We are currently leasing a storefront on the corner of Clark and School a few blocks south of Wrigley field and along a street where many other boutiques are located. The shop also has an adjoining gallery in which we throw multiple gallery events a month which focuses on art ranging from urban pop art to graffiti art utilizing mix media and the such. The events are usually real energetic and we get a good crowd coming in to take part of the action. This year we have 3 experienced curators who will be involved in making sure that each month is packed with fun and original events. We also run a successful blog where we hope to keep our audience "in the know" about this culture.
