Creative Anvil welcomes new partner and enhances company services

Joseph Koenig's enterprise experience add to company offerings

Creative Anvil recently announced it has significantly upgraded its talent base by adding Joseph Koenig, former chief information officer for the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, to its team.

Koenig, who joined the company May 1, 2007, has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Maryville University, as well as 10 years of experience in Web and application development, project management, and technology planning and management. He most recently served as CIO for the state's Health Department, where he served on the Missouri Healthcare Information Technology Task Force, the Information Technology Advisory Board, the State Data Center Steering Committee and the Medicaid Reform Technology Subcommittee. As chair of the Medicaid subcommittee, Koenig led an interdepartmental group of CIOs, information technology staff and business representatives to develop recommendations for technology solutions as part Gov. Matt Blunt's Medicaid Reform initiative.

"We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to bring Joe onboard," Post said. "His level of technical knowledge, project-management skills, enterprise experience and integrity will allow Creative Anvil to bring a higher level of expertise to our clients."

"Joining Creative Anvil has given me the opportunity to focus on what I enjoy doing, which is working closely with clients to find solutions that fit their needs," Koenig said.

With the addition of Koenig's technological expertise, Creative Anvil is poised to provide a higher level of service to its clients. Creative Anvil can fuse high-impact design and superior technological development in a way that meets the client's objectives, said Post.

Creative Anvil began as an online branding and development firm in 2005.

"Creative Anvil can bring expertise in application development, marketing and graphic design to create integrated solutions for companies that aid in workflow, purchasing, e-commerce, communications, accounting and more," Post said.

Businesses come to Creative Anvil seeking inventive, yet efficient ways of communicating with their clients, Post said.

"We build integrated Web-based systems based on our clients' needs," said Post. "We like to start with the end game in mind – what are the clients' goals, what do they want to accomplish with their businesses, and then develop an efficient and highly effective way to reach those goals. We feel that the perfect fusion of design, development and implementation are equally critical in the process, and our team works together to ensure that each of theses processes is properly carried out."

Post uses his bachelor's degree in graphic design from the University of Missouri-Columbia to develop corporate identity pieces, marketing communication elements and highly logical/visually dynamic Web sites for clients. He shows clients how best to communicate with customers visually, while ensuring the overall marketing objectives are maintained.

Creative Anvil works with various industries, including life sciences, manufacturing, real estate companies and developers, social networking organizations and restaurants.
