Healthy Battle Creek Case Study Part 2

First off, if you haven’t read part one of our Healthy Battle Creek case study, go do that now. We’ll wait.
All set? Good. Let’s continue.

Like we said last time, Healthy Battle Creek is an awesome initiative in Battle Creek designed to help provide PPE and food for the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s no wonder we’re so proud to be part of the movement. Here’s how else we helped out.

Our Task

Our team was first tasked with developing a logo for Healthy Battle Creek. Following the initial logo design, we created a full brand, landing page, and print collateral before their first PPE drive. Did we mention this was all done in a week? Yeah, we’re pretty awesome.

Goal

When developing the logo and brand, we wanted to encompass the themes of community and inclusivity. It was necessary for the overall brand to feel fun, family-friendly, and supportive. The goal was to bring awareness to the new initiative and to let people know about the drive.

Process

Our branding process is a ton of fun. We followed these steps to develop Healthy Battle Creek’s logo.

  • First, we met with the Healthy Battle Creek team to chat through their initial thoughts about how they envisioned the brand for their new initiative.
  • Our creative team drafted up lots of logos.
  • We held an internal battle royale to pick our favorites.
  • We presented the top three logo options and two color palettes to our client.
  • From there, we went back and forth with Healthy Battle until they were happy.
  • We created the awesome, community-focused logo below!

Following the logo creation, we finalized the overall brand. The color palette was important to us to convey the themes the brand needed to embody. We landed on an inviting, warm and bright color scheme to showcase this.

Once we found a color palette that complemented the logo and overall “vibe” of the brand, we were able to crank out several cohesive deliverables to get the word out about the PPE drive. These deliverables included direct mailers, social media graphics, a landing page, and more.
Below are some of our favorites:

We’re all about integrated, especially when it comes to branding and design. We want to ensure that all pieces, from print to digital, are consistent and align with your overall brand!

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973.
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store.

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
