Insight
With similar desires yet opposing cultures, the fear of change in both organizations was palpable. We needed to build trust with leadership, staff and stakeholders throughout the entire brand process.





Solution
This called for nothing less than an inclusive brand approach…from the inside out.
Outcome
One brand that unified the staff with pride and positioned the organization with hope.
