LTL Prints is “just the ticket” for Ticketleap’s logo

Category: Customers, Philadelphia, Startup, VideosGloriaBell @ 10:00 am Comments (6)

A few weeks ago, we received a call from Meg Havern from TicketLeap.com.  TicketLeap was looking for an easy and affordable way to have their logo displayed at the entrance to their Center City Philadelphia Offices.

This request made us smile for several reasons. First, Ticket Leap is an awesome company!  For those of you who may not have see their TechCrunch article, TicketLeap made inroads in the highly competitive event registration and ticketing software market by choosing to cater to small companies and events.  Ticketleap not only allows their clients to sell tickets online, but they offer box office solutions through the additional reporting and tracking services available on their website.   Second, TicketLeap shares our vision in beginning a start-up adventure here in Philadelphia.  Lastly, TicketLeap is comprised of a great team.  They recently landed Blake Jennelle as their Director of Marketing and have brought on several others that round out their already fantastic team!

Kendall decided to hand deliver their print since their headquarters is only blocks away from ours.  Within hours of receiving Meg’s phone call the TicketLeap crew was standing in their office admiring their Larger Than Life prints logo with pride.  Kendall was able to spend time with their CEO, Chris Stanchak discussing their most recent purchase.  Here is a video of Chris and his team finishing installation.
