\\ RE-LAUNCHING A HERITAGE BRAND
The Ask:
The MMS Institute was one of the first coach training organizations in the world, birthed in San Francisco in the 1970s. Since then MMS has gone on to launch local institute in cities across the nation and countries around the globe.
Over the years, while the parent brand grew, this local founding chapter lost its presence. And after several decades, MMS Northern California wanted to re-instate itself and re-invigorate their presence based on the rich brand equity of the global of the MMS Institute.
​
The Answer:
We sought to re-launch MMS Northern California by giving it fresh and local feel, yet keep the 50 years of global experience that the brand had built.
​
The Deliverables: brand strategy, brand positioning, company brand identity launch, copywriting, art direction, website launch, SEO + content strategy, and team management of all projects.
