The Expertise
Through our extensive experience spanning several decades, we have discerned a significant intersection in the requirements and impacts across economic development, workforce development, marketing, and educational institutions. Marketing emerges as the pivotal element that interlinks these sectors, emphasizing the importance of strategic communication and branding.
Effective marketing strategies should prioritize brand positioning, coherent and impactful messaging, and the generation of positive return on investment (ROI) and revenue. Economic development organizations, in particular, benefit substantially from a well-constructed marketing plan and strategy. Such strategies not only attract the right business partnerships but also enhance revenue generation, underscoring the critical role of targeted marketing in promoting economic growth.
Additionally, governmental entities rely on strategic marketing efforts to disseminate vital information across populations, ensuring that key messages reach and resonate with the intended audiences. This holistic view of marketing’s role across various sectors highlights its essential function in fostering development, engagement, and prosperity within communities and organizations.

One of our projects for a County Office of Public Health blended creativity and social awareness, while strictly adhering to the messaging.
There was a campaign to increase awareness of and provide information about sodium and its role in high blood pressure and other cardiac disease. The Office was looking for something more than just messaging about the risks and facts, so we pitched the idea of creating a mold of a salt crystal, and personifying it.
The result was Saul the Salt Monster, and with that prop we created a series of short claymation videos (think the Abominable Snowman from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, but cuter).
These videos provided some humor which led to engagement with the videos, but also provided statistics and information about the role of sodium, and directed people to resources about maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
While this particular scenario is not right for all institutions, we were able to understand the client's vision, maintain integrity in the output, and engage an audience in a way that is atypical for governmental organizations.
We've done similar work with County Offices of Education - the work of which included: Brand Identity, tagline and slogan creation, website development, graphic design and printing of various collateral, slide deck and presentation creation, as well as creative design for print and digital billboards.
