Our Work

Cybis designed and executed a live game show pre-show, including custom motion graphics animation for students at Business Professionals of America’s National Leadership Conference.

When challenged with creating an innovative stage design for HOSA’s National Leadership Conference, we knew that an ordinary rectangle screen was not going to cut it. Drawing from elements in the identity, our team custom-fabricated a unique, S-curve screen to enhance the conference’s theme, “Shape the Future”.

For Florida FBLA, we designed a dynamic show to illustrate why Tomorrow Begins Today! Students from around the state of Florida competed with one another in events for Future Business Leaders. The show and stage design channeled this aspect of the future with an energizing lighting display and pulse pounding up-and-coming music to complement the futuristic conference identity. In addition to fabulous ambiance, Cybis incorporated an interactive pre show, inviting participants to the stage to show what makes them future leaders.

Cybis is the most creative, cooperative, innovative AV company that exists!-Jody Jones, Florida FBLA State Adviser

Because Cybis offers Total Show Management, we are able to completely tailor a live experience, ranging from the initial creative sketches to the final event production. One of the core components of this execution is a well-crafted script.

For Pennsylvania FBLA, we were tasked with producing an entire event around the theme Excellence in Action. Almost immediately, our scriptwriters got to work outlining our client’s goals for the event, and tailoring pivotal moments in the script’s message around their theme, Excellence in Action.

One way we pride ourselves is how we directly involve ourselves with the on-stage VIPs well in advance of the event. Several months out, we solicit their feedback and ideas for the show, giving them a unique, direct opportunity to craft their message with us from the very beginning, since they, after all, will be the ones on-stage ready to inspire their peers!

At Cybis, our scriptwriters work in tandem with our creative team, our client, and their VIPs to prepare scripts that are engaging and represent our client’s theme, and broader message, to the fullest.

Venture – a single word with endless meaning for Washington DECA. And with that one word, Cybis designed an entire brand to support the school year and two state conferences.

By definition, venture means to take on a daring challenge, packed with considerable risk. The design incorporates three core icons associated with this special adventure. To a DECA member, the binoculars symbolize going the distance, and looking ahead toward their future. The flame represents the passion shared by DECA members, and the compass reminds members that DECA is their guide as they set a course to achieve their goals

The versatile design was adapted to numerous platforms, including posters, t-shirts, event programs, and other marketing collateral.

When Universal Studio’s tourism partner Visit Orlando needed last-minute support for the International Pow Wow (IPW) travel and tourism conference in Chicago, they turned to CYBIS, and we delivered.

“Sometimes our clients stumble upon an opportunity to impact their audience that wasn’t in their long term communications plan. No matter the turnaround time, we’re always able to deliver something that goes beyond their expectations.”

Cybis Founder, Jeff Douglass

For IPW 2014, CYBIS designed and delivered a 16-ft 3D “Orlando” sign and a 45-minute onscreen presentation with custom animation that cemented Visit Orlando President and CEO George Aguel and the 59-million visitor strong City of Orlando itself as exciting and bold!

But why stop there? We also partnered with the Visit Orlando marketing department to craft a powerful live production and digital media presentation with last-minute, high-impact graphics from the top theme parks in the world. The ultimate goal? Helping Visit Orlando show, not tell, its international audience what makes Orlando the exhilarating destination spot it is.

Expanding on our annual theme of Imagine, Believe, Become for National BPA, we prepared a fall mailing campaign that delivered thousands of postcards, booklets and flyers to high schools across the country, promoting membership and their annual national conference.

For the debut of Pennsylvania FBLA’s annual State Leadership Conference, we prepared a captivating opening sequence that inspired members to seek the greatness within themselves. All of the photos began as still images which we masked and composited into a virtual 3D environment.

We dove beneath the waves to develop this refreshing stage design for Georgia FBLA’s State Leadership Conference. Curved truss supported waves of flowing fabric and glistening curtains, lit with the colors of the sea. The design also featured a suspended series of canvas cubes projected with key session content.

At our premier live outdoor event, Cybis debuted a one-of-a-kind opening sequence to excite and inspire thousands of BPA members.

We began by including iconic moments from the steps of the Nation’s Capital and wove them into a dramatic, compelling intro sequence to inspire our audiences to also Stand Out From the Crowd.

To achieve the cinematic effect, each scene in the video began as a daytime flat photo, which was then projected into a virtual 3D environment, with added layers of ambient particles and light composited above, and color grading to convert it to twilight. The result was a breathtaking intro sequence that left our audience breathless until the climactic finale.

Cybis created a complete recruitment package for Texas Business Professionals of America, including a pair of promotional videos that showcases the impact Texas BPA is making in its community, along with the incredible benefits of becoming a member.

For years, Cybis has partnered with National DECA – a global organization preparing students for careers in entrepreneurship and marketing – to design and produce its annual membership recruitment video. In the past, we’ve crafted sleek, glossy, highly polished videos; blending great videography, dynamic broadcast graphics and real interviews with actual student members to match DECA’s crisp brand image and tell the DECA story.

It was time to shake things up. We needed to break the mold and create something the student leadership industry hadn’t done before. Inspired by the Google Glass craze of 2013, we imagined a Glass-style, first person perspective video shot entirely by students. Like never before, prospective members would see DECA through the eyes of real members: networking, preparing for competition, shaking hands, winning awards and giving epic high-fives.

Shot on location at a huge DECA chapter just outside of Atlanta, Georgia and at the 2013 DECA International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, California, our team strapped cameras onto real DECA members’ heads for an eye-level perspective of the DECA experience.  With light graphics, a perfect soundtrack and the voices of members to guide viewers through the narrative, the promo quickly became the most viewed DECA promo in its history.

OK, Glass: Top that.

My words can’t do justice for Cybis’ performance – you just have to watch it! The bottom line is that Cybis delivers. Flawlessly.-Chris Young, National DECA High School Division Director

The most powerful design is often made up of unpredictable dichotomies: surprising and comforting, engaging and distracting. When we set out to design the DECA Western Region Leadership Conference (WRLC) “GO!” identity and promo video for California DECA and TRI Leadership Resources, we knew we’d have to play on this sense of opposites for the biggest visual impact.

We paired the theme’s single-word simplicity with the exact opposite – complexity.

California DECA is a modern, design-forward organization. When it was time to brand the WRLC, we wanted to represent individuality amongst members, yet convey the power of DECA students working together toward a common goal.-Clayton Carter, Cybis Creative Director

Inspired by the destination feel of the Anaheim event and DECA’s spirited community members, we framed up a logo that celebrates collaborative diversity with fresh, sunny California-themed branding. the result is nothing short of fun-in-the-sun. So get ready to GO full speed, GO forward, and GO wild with our bold new design for GO! The DECA Western Region Leadership Conference!

A memorable, tailored animation that integrates seamlessly with the timepiece and zodiac theme of the Grand Court, bringing that world to life on the screens. We pull the wonderful textures from the existing mosaics in the center, such as constellations, calendar ticks, as well as a vortex of fish and leaves that swirl together on the floor. This memorable piece captures the unique sophistication and theme of the center, honoring the movements of time and the stars, and serve as a tribute to the Mall at Millenia’s distinct design.

This video captures The Mall at Millenia’s international shoppers as their faces light up when we spotlight their respective zodiac signs with visual imagery as well as the names of the zodiacs themselves. Encouraging audience participation and serenading them with relaxing music, like waves from the sea, this video runs in the Grand Court of the world famous mall.

This captivating promo video set the tone for an exciting, magical adventure for the Business Professionals of America’s National Leadership Conference.

I’m inspired now! Can’t wait to see what happens on stage if this is only the beginning. Everyone loves it – thanks a million! -Shawna Gfroerer, Business Professionals of America
