- Grammy Award Winner Phoenix needed a way to get the word out about their concert at Madison Square Garden. We utilized social networking, by giving fans the chance to hear an exclusive track once they re-tweeted a post about the event. This idea was such a hit, the label did the same for other bands on it's roster. Re-Tweet promotions are a really useful tool for brands as well.

My name is John Surdakowski and for the past eight years I have been designing and developing for the web. I started Avex Designs in 2005 as a portfolio of my work. Since then I have worked on a ton of great projects. Some of my specialties include: websites, blogs, microsites, mobile websites, iPhone apps, logos, branding, UI / UX design, Flash / After Effects animations and rich media banners.
I create clean, attractive and functional designs, with a heavy emphasis on usability. All of the applications that I develop are built to meet accessibility guidelines and standards. But I always try to push the boundaries of design and development, every chance that I get.
Over the years I've had the opportunity to work with hundreds of brands including: Google, Budweiser, MLB, Bank of America, Glassnote Records, Vita Coco, MGM Grand, Stoli Vodka, Tyler Florence, Armani Exchange, Tanqueray and Toyota.
I have also freelanced for companies such as: Monster.com, Estee Lauder, Atmosphere BBDO, NBC, Bravo TV, MRM Worldwide, Nickelodeon, MTV Networks, & Eyeblaster.
I love the entire creative and development process, from new ideas to execution...and I always love taking on new projects. So contact me and lets talk!
