The Petoskey Area Visitors Bureau
The challengeThe Petoskey Area competes with the more “touristy”
destinations of Traverse City and Mackinaw City.
The solutionNorthern Michigan beauty with charm and a touch of class; a place where memories are born and traditions started.

Consumers Credit Union
The challengeThere is a generic sameness to most all credit union
branding based upon “local” and “friendly.”
The solution
Research shows the Consumers target market is more
interested in superior financial products than “warm
fuzzies.” So the brand identity is bold, attention-getting.

Amana
The situation
Amana introduced a new refrigerator with a “dry-erase” coating.
They wanted to announce it to editors of women’s magazines and
encourage them to publish articles about the introduction.
The solutionSend a replica of the refrigerator (complete with dry-erase coating)
with a CD file and actual markers to experience the benefit first hand.

Kellogg’s
The challenge
Kellogg’s was introducing Bake Shop Swirls to compete with
Pillsbury Toaster Strudel. They needed materials directed to
retailers to draw attention to the product and entice sales.
The solution
Establish the brand as having bakery-fresh goodness
by using the concept of a bakery pedestal display. Use both traditional
and online media to communicate the story to retail buyers.
