Hello 2017! Meet #thesavageway

Torrie & Paula of #thesavageway

Meet #thesavageway: Torrie Savage & Paula Bartlett seeking the good on a job in Boston, MA.

Meet #thesavageway

We’ve been in business since 2012. In the early days we focused on social media execution/training along with PR for local Charlotte businesses. From Papi Queso, Heist Brewery and Libretto’s Pizzeria to AIR Aerial Fitness and Cruise Carts, our client list was diverse and successful. However, while we were representing our clients during the day, at night we were creating something new and different – Clean Graffiti (or a clean message on a dirty sidewalk).

As we developed our core eco-friendly service, Clean Graffiti, we deliberately created a shift in our business. We began opening up our time for more Clean Graffiti work and slowly wrapping up our social media consulting clients. This shift happened over a few years, but now we are in a place where the services of #thesavageway reflect our passions.

We still consult and guide local businesses from time to time, but we only accept a handful as clients. And the ones we choose to work with, we wholeheartedly believe in what they stand for as a company.

So what is #thesavageway?
We are a creative marketing agency. We seek clients who are willing to think big and entrust us with their message.
We cultivate creativity in nature. Whether it is dirt and concrete or moss and recycled wood, we find the beauty in the outdoors and turn it into a creative marketing campaign.
We are a lifestyle. Our outlook on life, the future, health, food and relationships – they all revolve around compassion and living colorfully. We seek the good in all things and desire for you to as well.

So hello! We’re Paula Bartlett (that’s me – I write this blog) and Torrie Savage. 2017 is going to be a great year and we hope that you follow along. Expect to see some fun reverse graffiti campaigns (across many cities), lots of yummy plant based food, dancing videos, laughter and other shenanigans. Oh and be sure to follow our Instagram page – that’s where all the fun really happens 🙂

Handmade Moss Art Created for a Client in Ohio.

Custom Moss Art Bike by #thesavageway.

We were commissioned to create a unique piece of art for a client in Ohio. This piece would later go on to be a wedding gift for a bike-loving, adventurous couple. It’s such a unique experience to help a client’s vision come to life. To be a part of the journey from a simple idea to a completed finished product is one-of-a-kind.

This bike is 24” in wide on 0.5” thick wood. We partner with a local wood worker, The Wooden Fox, on custom pieces like this. Cost: $200

Our Moss Art is all custom, handmade artwork using preserved moss to create a natural element for the home. It’s perfect décor for the office or home that brings a maintenance-free, outdoor element inside. We can turn any logo, phrase or image into a moss masterpiece. It’s the perfect wedding gift for that hard-to-shop-for bride or the Uncle who seems to have everything.

If you are interested in learning more about how you can get Moss Art in your home, please email [email protected]. We are able to ship anywhere!

Moss Art in 2015

Moss Art in 2015

Here at #thesavageway we are always crafting up new and different ways to spread the word. From Clean Graffiti and social media takeovers to other non-traditional marketing tactics, we push ourselves to think outside the box.

In 2015, we launched Moss Art as another service line. Moss Art is a way to bring a natural element indoors – with no maintenance! Our interior art installations are created with preserved moss to bring your logo or a favorite phrase to life! Moss Art is eye catching, innovative and a perfect signage solution for your company. Below is a peek at the clients that used Moss Art in 2015.

Cruise Carts
Cruise Carts decided to use Moss Art as signage. Cruise Carts is an eco-friendly, advertiser-driven free golf cart ride. Bringing a natural element inside the office was a perfect fit for this green company.

#SkylineCLT
#SkylineCLT was an initiative of Crescent Communities to take an old building in Uptown Charlotte and turn it into a collaborative artist space for the months leading up to its renovation. The PR agency, Yellow Duck Marketing, and the event planning company, Jen Leigh Events, decided to use Moss Art as functional signage. By creating the hashtag in moss, we were telling people what conversation to join online when posting to social media.

Breathe Refuge
Jonathan Winn, of Breathe Refuge, wanted to bring an element of serenity and nature to his studio space in NoDa, the historic arts district of Charlotte, NC. This Moss Art was the perfect solution. We created this artwork on repurposed wood to create a unique touch.

Private Resident Art
One of our dear friends and supporters, Blair Primis of OrthoCarolina, had the vision to create his longitude/latitude in moss. These floating numbers were fun to create and it definitely added a unique, natural touch to this Uptown Charlotte residence.

AIR Aerial Fitness
This AIR Aerial Fitness logo is a great representation of how awesome Moss Art can be for a client. This piece is over 3 feet in diameter and a statement piece in the AIR studio in Myers Park. Franchise owner Shama Patel even said via Instagram, “I just had the craziest thought – a logo I designed years ago without any second thought is being recreated in such a beautiful way. It’s like your creation just gave meaning to my life’s work.” (awesome – we’ll take it)

Stars
A beautiful thing about Moss Art is how endless the possibilities are for application. We LOVE creating simple, stunning wall pieces like these stars. They are perfect to add nature to your office or home. They will spark conversation and have everyone asking you where you found such unique pieces of art.

Moss Art is perfect for interior design, logos, event installations, typography, signage and as functional art. We look forward to bringing this art form to a new level in 2016 and to keep pushing that creative line.
