Cold Feet Creative was honored to be recognized as one
of Nashville's 25 emerging companies in a December,
2003, list that also included such stellar upstarts
as Americana Entertainment, Asurion, Edison Automation,
Essent Healthcare, Investment Scorecard and Palmgear.
An excerpt, archived here for posterity's sake and the
sake of relatives of the people who work for Cold Feet
Creative and are generally quite proud of such things,
follows:
"The name chosen
by Clint Smith and Will Weaver for their email and Web
development company surely belied the strength of its
first-year growth. Cold Feet Creative began in 2002.
By the beginning of 2003, it had 25 Nashville-area clients.
By October, that number stood at more than 250 in 30
states and six countries, and Smith expects another
40 or so clients to be added by year's end. To help
keep up with Cold Feet's growth, the company's Annie
Kinnaird just opened a Cold Feet office in New York.
Conceived as a 'foot in the
door' for grander Web site projects, the company's Emma
email service has unexpectedly emerged as Cold Feet's
core product. Its template provided businesses with
an email service that lets the customer quickly edit
content, add graphics, distribute and then track how
many and which recipients actually opened their email
messages.
There are now versions of Emma
for small business, companies with multiple offices
and advertising agencies who offer the service for the
benefit of clients.
The seven-person firm's short-term
plan is to continue developing Emma (into an enterprise-level
system). Getting to the enterprise level and servicing
the number of clients now envisioned might require a
staff more on the order of 15-20. Even so, Smith says
he thinks the company, which once expected to solicit
a small round of outside funding, now has the financial
wherewithal and bank support to achieve its next level
of growth."
