Client Love: Alpine Events

When Alpine Events, formally Alpine Rent All, came walking in our door, we could have never imagined a simple meeting would turn into such a great and lasting partnership. We’ve been through a lot with this team, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Really, the way we look at it, it was a match made in heaven. We love throwing a good party, and they have the massive custom collection to make any event one you’ll never forget.

The Task

8THIRTYFOUR was originally tasked with putting together a cohesive and integrated messaging and marketing strategy. Alpine Rent All’s owner, Carey Bisonet, had acquired Alpine Rent All a few years ago. He quickly realized there was a lot of opportunity in the events market that they weren’t capitalizing on. Selling high-end bridal and event rentals next to chainsaws and lawnmowers just wasn’t working (shocking, we know).

The Goal

Alpine needed a way to segment the two markets. They needed help identifying how to target a new market of brides-to-be, planners, and corporate event organizers.

We immediately identified that not only did we need to develop a messaging strategy designed to target their primary audiences, but they also required a rebrand to cater to the new business direction. The rebrand was necessary to establish a new relationship with their target audience, which was a very different audience than their Alpine Rent All clientele.  

Process

Our successful rebrand included the following:

  • Strategy development
  • Surveying of primary and targeted audiences
  • Competitor research
  • Brand attributes
  • Brand tone and voice
  • Elevator speech
  • Positioning statement
  • Audience personas
  • Sample messaging

The Results

After the rebrand, we developed marketing recommendations so the newly dubbed Alpine Events could continue to knock it out the park. We now work with them to provide some awesome support. Some of those areas include:

  • New logo design
  • Brand guide
  • Redesign and creation of all marketing collateral
  • Social media recommendations and strategy
  • Community engagement plan
  • Influencer marketing strategy
  • Ongoing media pitching, securing 11 pieces of earned media in 3 months
  • Stories that have reached over 4,478,000 people
  • Content and stories that reached over 225,000 followers through social media

Are you trying to capture a new market or target a new audience? Maybe you need a rebrand. Maybe you just need an effective messaging and marketing strategy. Let’s talk about what you have going on, and we can evaluate your needs. Reach out to us today!

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

bodespeaks joined cuzzinjustin on the strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. And naturally, dropped an f-bomb or two along the way. You don't want to miss it.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

"If you don't get up and grind every day, the needle isn't gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
