Helping an establishedbrand get to its core Pepper Construction experienced it’s first profit loss in the course of it’s 86 year history, and margins continued to slip. They were being out-bid and out-smarted at every turn.
Another Studio partnered with One Design Company to dig deep and figure out a compelling strategy to help Pepper regain a foothold in core markets around the country.

The Breaking Ground tagline was the perfect expression to represent what makes Pepper such an outstanding company: a perfect mix of innovation and hands-on, in the field action A series of 4 actions–designed to engage and excite employees– were rolled out alongside the tagline at a series of internal launch events around the country in August of 2014.

Positioning Pepper as a leading innovator in key markets was a primary objective. From public awareness campaigns to a series of white papers, essays and publications know collectively as the Pepper Green Papers, a long-term editorial strategy was put in place to push Pepper comfortably out into the limelight.

Putting a human face on a digital pushThe PrivateBank is an established, brick and and mortar institution, highly regarded within the business community. They’ve spent decades building a reputation based on personal service and face-to-face relationships, and nothing could compromise that.
When they needed to make a move and bring their long-outdated website up to modern standards, they took an opportunity to not only refresh the digital tools available to their customers, but to unveil a new aesthetic designed to attract a long under-served younger demographic without abandoning their roots.

Warm photography and a rich system of icons and illustrations do double- duty: not only do they feel fresh and current, but they’re highly informative—a breath of fresh air in an environment typically stuffy and overwhelming.

Positioning through certificationWe partnered with One Design Company to create an educational application designed to reveal a story of authentic, old world craftsmanship—processes and ideals central to the Patrón ethos but miles beyond the glamorous club culture the brand had become associated with in recent years.
Academia Patrón—a digital education application—afforded industry professionals a chance to become certified experts in all things tequila, from history and cultural significance to production methods and flavor profiles. The curriculum we developed leveraged a 40-minute documentary film, split into 6 thematic lessons, to both engage and educate the user. View the application teaser

A call to parentsDesigned to inform and empower, the national Not In My House drug abuse awareness campaign was created to spread the word about the phenomena of ‘pharming’—the fastest-growing form of substance abuse among teenagers in 2010.
Working closely with Abbott and the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, the campaign leveraged online advertising, social media, media relations, and physical materials distributed to doctors around the country, garnering support from top media outlets including CNN, Good Morning America, Newsweek, and Reader’s Digest.

The Not In My House awareness campaign was announced to the press via an invitation-only event in a New York home. Press kits containing calendars and other items counted down the days to the event, communicating startling facts about the phenomena of pharming along the way. The centerpiece of the campaign was a website combining editorial and documentary video alongside informational content designed to inform and educate, providing actionable steps for parents and family members.

Startling facts were always displayed alongside actionable steps towards prevention and treatment. Brochures informed loved ones regarding proper methods of prescription drug disposal, along with insight and tips regarding how to talk to teenagers.
The pharming phenomena was not limited to a particular demographic. Video vignettes—leveraged online and off—featured children representative of a startling range of ages and ethnicities raiding medicine cabinets for drugs. View the director’s cut

At the start of the engagement a unified and consistent brand architecture was non-existent. Logos were developed on a monthly basis and tied to marketing initiatives, diluting brand awareness and recognition. A robust set of brand guidelines was the culmination of months of work, not only overhauling the identity but establishing a flexible and adaptable brand architecture that accommodated the full range of programs, partnerships and affiliations that fall under the health system’s umbrella.

An identity is only part of the equation. A consistent, confident and relatable brand voice was developed and applied at every opportunity. Methods of engaging with the public were key to the success of the new brand.

Marketing communication was equally impacted by the brand work. A consistent, authentic voice blended with conceptual communication strategies to stay top of mind within the consumer marketplace. Serviceline campaigns—such as the Think Heart campaign featured here—leveraged a diverse and targeted media presence to reach consumers economically while positioning Sparrow as the region’s premiere technical leader.
