In May, Remedy hosted a sold-out event sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). Design professionals from around the Midwest showed up to hear Remedites speak on topics such as how to differentiate yourself in a category and how to reach audiences in an unexpected way.

Time to break out the champagne. Remedy was recently named one of Chicago's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For—our second year in a row. And our staff are the reason why. Remedites were asked to complete questionnaires and submit thoughts and opinions about what it's like to work at Remedy. These responses were a critical part of the selection process.

Remedy's excited to be working with OnePoint Patient Care, the nation's leading, locally based hospice pharmacy. We've already completed the Brand Summit at Remedy's office and are in the process of developing a strategic brand plan.

Production artist Erika Doyle has been officially named new Employee of the Moment. Famous for stepping outside her role at Remedy, Erika has earned the unofficial title of staff photographer and is the designer of Topic, Remedy's newsletter. As one of her colleagues put it, "She is the backbone of our team."

At Remedy, each staff member receives time off to volunteer for a good cause. Recently, Remedite Nina Elliot (shown third from left) lent her mad project management skills and warm smile to Project iAm's "Acoustics for Autism" fundraiser. The grassroots event featured live music, raffle prizes, and raised ten thousand dollars for the families of autistic children.

Remedy designer, Mike Guerin, recently ran the Boston Marathon. In addition to bragging rights (he finished in 3 hrs, 36 mins), Mike also came away with a big check. He ran on behalf of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary's new Center of Excellence, treating thyroid and parathyroid cancers.
