STEM is for all

Today, only 4% of scientists and engineers are Black and Latina women. How are Black and Latina girls who love STEM supposed to look at that number and be optimistic? Science Club for Girls is here to change that by making STEM more accessible, particularly to those in underrepresented communities.

Today it’s 4%.
Tomorrow it’s…

Our job was to generate momentum and excitement around the work that Science Club for Girls is doing—and to motivate donors to be part of this empowering, inclusive new chapter in STEM. How? We crafted a compelling brand visual identity and powerful messaging platform and launched an integrated awareness campaign that energized and inspired people to take action. The big idea: We’re shaping a better tomorrow for girls in STEM today.

Honoring the past while
moving toward the future

The integrated campaign celebrates how much progress we’ve made in STEM today and honors the women in STEM who have already overcome the odds to get to where they are. But while 4% is worth celebrating, we also have more work to do. We paired powerful brand visuals and messaging with highly strategic media placements to get in front of an influential audience at just the right time.

HealthEdge case study: A rebrand with an edge

A HealthEdge case study: A rebrand with an edge

Digital solutions provider HealthEdge has a mission to help health plans transform from traditional organizations limited by siloed, manual solutions into transparent, modern digital payers. But as HealthEdge grew, that narrative was becoming blurred. They needed a new way to unify and communicate that message to their customers and prospects—visually and conceptually, from corner to corner of their brand.

A new look, launch and collateral

We provided a visual identity refresh, unified messaging and a brand story that elevates their platform. Anchored by the tagline “Become a digital payer,” we paired messaging around the idea of enabling a connective transformation with a strong, distinctly modern and sophisticated visual language.

A sharper identity to match their vision

The new logo leverages an exponent that we refer to as “The Edge.” It’s suggestive of their evolving line of products and services and their mission to always push the healthcare industry forward. As we’ve been expanding their story and visuals, the one constant is HealthEdge’s desire to lead an industry that has been desperate for a voice. Our approach complements that notion in a way that’s visually impactful without being overpowering.

A major rebrand for a consulting giant

In a crowded consulting space dominated by the Big 4, Guidehouse—one of the world’s largest consulting firms—needed branding and messaging that stood out from competitors and demonstrated its ability to help clients take on the toughest challenges at scale.

Its new tagline, Outwit Complexity, was based on Guidehouse’s unique expertise at problem-solving. The tagline served as inspiration for a brand-new visual treatment that used stylized topographical maps as a metaphor for the way Guidehouse enables its clients to navigate safely through any challenge. The generous use of white space, dramatic imagery, clean typography and distinctive color palette all combined to give Guidehouse a unique look and feel that set it apart from competitors.

The homepage is the primary venue for telling the Guidehouse story, so we carried the new look and feel to its website by leveraging the new design elements and reinforcing the core message.

A cross-channel rollout

In grand style, we launched static and video-based takeover ads on publications like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, as well as more targeted campaigns to some of Guidehouse’s key verticals and audiences. Presentations, white papers and other collateral were rebranded to tell a consistent and compelling Guidehouse story.

Upending the status quo with an unexpected ABM approach

Industrial powerhouse Chevron Lubricants needed to demonstrate how a compromise on heavy-duty engine oil now could mean bigger costs down the line. Together, we developed an ABM campaign targeting ~220 high-potential accounts that blended best practices with an unconventional approach designed to stand out and shift thinking.

Addressing a serious business challenge…with humor

To effectively reach time-starved decision makers at our target accounts, we needed to cut through the noise—and appeal to both the emotional and rational sides of the brain. Our creative concept was a bold departure from the usual territory for this industry, leveraging a series of humorous, out-of-context scenarios that commanded attention and got the audience thinking about something that isn’t normally on their daily agenda: their choice of engine oil.

Imagined by humans, generated by AI

To bring the idea to life, we tapped into generative AI, offering greater latitude to think and create outside of the box. Each creative execution drove home the key strategic insight: There are times you shouldn’t compromise; the heavy-duty engine oil you depend on to protect your fleet is one of them.

A curated journey of discovery, deployed at scale with new martech

To entice our audience to discover and engage with educational content, we helped activate targeted display ads and personalized landing pages by augmenting Chevron’s martech stack with short-term trials of Demandbase and HubSpot. Later touches featured video clips that further inspired prospects to engage, explore and learn. The pinnacle of our educational content was a video podcast featuring industry influencer Bryan Furnace and two Chevron SMEs, housed on a dedicated information hub complete with a HubSpot-powered chatbot.

Old-school tactic gets a digital facelift

A subset of core decision makers received a video direct mailer (DM) featuring a customized preview invitation from the influencer host. With real-time DM interactions tracked using 5G, prospect activity and intent signals were shared with Sales teams, enabling timely follow-up with tools that included personalized emails, phone calls and LinkedIn InMail.

Big strategic and creative swing, home run payoff

The campaign reached 96.8% of targeted accounts, with 80% showing engagement. It also proved the role strategic direct mail can play in demand marketing, with 59% of contacts viewing the video mailer. Importantly, Chevron discovered the value of ABM—how channel, content, creative and tech can work seamlessly together—and now have a solid foundation for future campaigns.

This campaign showed us how different a strategically targeted ABM program is from a traditional media play. In addition to delivering on objectives, it provided learnings we can use in future campaigns, including optimizing martech and tracking to help our sales force capitalize on momentum and connect with engaged prospects.
