Includes Identity, Collateral and Booth Design Work


WALTHAM, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 3, 2007 -- Today Hart-Boillot announced that Soapstone Networks has retained the agency to develop strategic creative services work. Soapstone Networks' software products are used by carriers to control networks and accelerate services development. The company was launched as the services platform division of core router vendor Avici Systems, located in Billerica, Mass.

"We selected Hart-Boillot as our agency partner for our launch because of the agency's familiarity with network and application/OSS markets," said Esmeralda Swartz, VP, Marketing and Business Development, Soapstone Networks. "Our technology bridges IT-centric domains of next-generation-networks and network-centric domains of transport and access to enable carriers to bring orderly, predictable, business-driven behavior to networks, regardless of vendor or technology. We needed an agency that could translate our ground-breaking technical story into compelling visual messages."

"Working with Soapstone fits well with the agency's sweet spot -- taking a complex B2B technology story and translating it into a strong visual identity," said Kevin Hart, Vice President and Creative Director at Hart-Boillot. "Soapstone solves problems that have long plagued carriers trying to make the most of IP technology. In building the company's identity and materials we are merging the sense of rapid technological breakthrough with the calm feeling that comes from extraordinary competence and functionality."
