We recently connected with Mike Fox and have shared our conversation below.
Mike, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
Ideas always formulate and percolate, but it takes physical and mental action to put them into motion. That’s what we did back on 2012 when we started Splash Designworks.
We already knew the idea, the end game, the road – we just needed the launching pad to getting things moving.
1. We agreed on the name of the business.
2. We moved forward to get the license.
3. We began designing promotional creatives.
4. We joined local business related organizations and chambers.
5. We began the hustle and grind; and still doing it.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
As Splash Designworks, our focus is on creating and providing the highest quality creatives as possible. Our beginnings span over 25 years of professional creative production. This includes a huge, vast array of creative items such as logos, websites, brochures, ads, marketing, branding, social creatives, video production, promos, filmmaking, feature films, documentaries, interviews and more!
We have had our logo on racecars, produced branding for large organizations, but we are most proud of our film and video portion, which is subbed under Splash as Crystal Fox Films. Aside from being a multi award-winning designer, now Splash via Crystal Fox Films is a multi award-winning filmmaker, producer, cinematographer and video editor.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
As a true and genuine family owned business, we have pushed and worked hard for an amazing reputation on helping inform, educate and guide all our clients. We don’t tell them what they should or should not do. We provide information that’s helpful for them to make the best educated decision on what works best for them.
Our goal and aim is to help boost and skyrocket others; whether professionals, business owners, artists, or whoever. As they succeed, we succeed with them.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
Don’t lose your original goal. What brought you to where you are or want to go should remain your foundational message throughout your journey.
Too many times we’ve seen successful companies “change” they message. They forgot that the original message is what got them to where they are… or were. Whenever they’ve changed their message to fit a certain audience set, most of the time, they lose their majority base.
