Ahold USA is the parent of Stop & Shop, Giant, MARTIN'S, and GIANT grocery stores. We were asked to completely refresh the store brands from signage to online presence. The refresh covered all consumer communications, including email blasts, newspaper advertising, store and customer promotions, and price-point identification. 

We created program logos, designed new drive-through pick-up centers, and overhauled the look and feel of the stores from wayfinding signs to animated banners. To introduce employees to the new brand, we laid out the brand guide in a format they could appreciate: a recipe deck. We also designed an online communications and branding tool to keep employees up to date on all things Ahold. 

We sank our teeth into the project and relished every bite.

Unisource Paper Company wanted a paper sample book that would do more than show paper. We designed a series of books that tell the story of the company's charitable cause, Lakeshore Foundation, an inspiring nonprofit that helps people with physical disabilities and chronic conditions achieve independence through fitness, recreation, and athletics. Lakeshore also serves as a training center for the U.S. Olympics, Paralympics, and USA Wheelchair Rugby. Each book highlights the remarkable triumphs of the foundation as well as the outstanding merits of the paper it's printed on.

If anyone understands the potential of a blank canvas, it’s Sotheby’s International Realty®. And the blank canvas they handed us was about as big as they come. After three centuries of making Sotheby’s synonymous with the sale of valuable possessions, the owners of this venerable brand decided it was time to make Sotheby’s the leading name in the sale of the homes where those precious possessions reside.

The name – nothing else, just that single word – was the starting point from which they asked RBMM to create a comprehensive brand strategy. Not least of the challenges was developing a plan for integrating established local real estate brokerages with the power of the Sotheby’s brand.

With my very great and creative friends at The Richards Group, 5 years of creative, strategic  thinking an ongoing campaign 

Pier 1 asked us to evaluate and improve the  communication with customers, signage, and the interiors of their stores. We transformed them inside and out. Created  ever evolving themes to give them the opportunity to tell customers about the 100,000 new SKU's they introduce each month from around the globe and an in-store ordering kiosk for all things furniture related.

We designed the bottle for Zephyr Gin so that its on-the-shelf presentation would be as exquisite as its in-the-glass contents.

Quad Williamson is a Dallas-based specialty printer that has earned a reputation as one of the world's finest. In this brochure, we used the mesmerizing imagery of world-renowned photographer Jim Brandenburg to showcase Quad Williamson's mastery of printing and innovation of new printing technologies. The result beautifully demonstrates the printer's true nature as a consummate perfectionist.

Ziegenbock. The best selling craft beer in Texas came to us when the competition heated up. Newly acquired ABInBev, a division of Anheuser Busch, they wanted a craft look that was the essence of Texas. Extending the traditional beer to include a Dark Amber, Seasonal, and a Double-Wide Porter. They extended their reach, and their numbers, and kept their number one status.

The Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau and the George R. Brown Convention Center joined forces to form The Avenida.

It’s an area that includes four new hotels, the Texans’ football stadium, the Rockets’ basketball arena, the George R. Brown Convention Center and several city blocks filled with restaurants and retail businesses. The Avenida is an important effort as the city hosted both the Super Bowl and the Final Four in 2017. 

We were entrusted to name and brand the area to ensure it appeals to visitors and Houstonians alike.

Bluebird is special. It's named after those perfect days we get in the mountains, Summer or winter. Bluebird Real Estate is an exclusive new brand selling fine homes in Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley. From the advertising to the website, Bud, the owner, wanted this to be an accessible and comfortable brand that is home to all.

Hunt Oil defied convention to construct the highest-altitude natural gas pipeline in  Peru. Then they entrusted the telling of this amazing story to us.

In Dallas, home of Neiman Marcus, there is a place that teaches merchandising and design. Wade College. This small college teaches skills  that allow students to go on to work in the top fashion, design, and merchandising shops around the globe. They needed a fresh look to tell their story.

The number one luxury real estate company, with six offices, and a long history in Dallas asked for a new distinctive new look that would separate them from others. Clean, uncluttered, and sophisticated.

Center for the Arts is building has a new home. The small town needed to go outside the local community to the second homeowners in the valley, but also to keep the local community involved, aware and excited. Building in the hearts of Crested Butte was born. A sculpture reflecting the campaign was built and towed to events in and around Crested Butte – a town known for its biking community. Ads featured local creative leaders, bike bells were sold, and people got excited.  They break ground on a new center in April. 

The home builder needed a facelift internally and externally. Starting with a new logo and brand standards through sales materials. 

An interactive brand site housing signage, brochure templates, Sales Center configurations and construction information. It was all there. Easy to understand and editable from one location. The site has a complete working library of their extensive library of all plans. That allows total integration and knowledge sharing from coast to coast

When Centex was acquired by Pulte, we were asked to do the same interactive sites for both Pulte and DiVosta.

UCLA Health was introduced when they built 3 new hospitals. We dedicated all 3. And continued to consolidate their 190+ clinics, offices and emergency care facilities under one brand. UCLA Health. All of UCLA Health were doing incredible work. Under separate Brands. We consolidated all of these brands under the UCLA Health banner to get them the credit they deserved. Along the way we gave them a complete online  home for all things brand related that they could track from one office.

Since its inception, we have helped spread the word about the Crested Butte Film Festival. Their raison d’etre is to provide storytellers a platform where they can share their films—a showcase of how stories affect you. It’s a labor of love and one that is near and very dear to our hearts. 

A new logo and all the interactive brand guidelines that Tenet needs to roll it out. A functioning site as the brand guideline allows easy access for a global company and let's Tenet control changes, additions or modifications from one site. Much smaller in  page count, yet more detailed, with formatting and templates that make brand oversiteeasier on all sides.

We created these oversized prints—showing the beauty of the natural world—to focus attention on Domtar’s new premier paper. 

Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, RMBL, has the oldest and longest running research in the world.

These logos were developed in close reflection of the brand. They are not the brand, just a part of it. I hope close representation of what the brand promise is.
