01A note before the details

Kolt, and the selection team,

A new brand is a promise. The launch is where you keep it.

You are bringing four organizations together as one, and an eighty year legacy is riding on it. Our approach: clear messaging, Allegheny's heritage carried forward rather than set aside, one website that unifies four families into one, a world class tech stack that improves over time and is built for discoverability via Google and AI search. A launch the entire region will feel proud of.

We have done this work recently, on Pittsburgh ground.

We would be honored to do the same for you.

02The assignment

A rebrand is won or lost at the launch.

The brand is ready. Now it has to win four audiences, unify four organizations, and carry eighty years of tradition forward.

  • One identity, four doors. Make the Conference and its affiliates read as one, without discarding the equity each name has earned.
  • Eighty years of heritage is the asset. Continuity with the past plus a modern, integrated tech stack for the future.
  • The audiences are sophisticated. Board, investors, partners, and the public each need a story that resonates with them.
  • The website is the proof of the new structure. Make it instantly legible so the rebrand hits home.

03Why this matters

A region that always rises to the occasion.

Pittsburgh has remade itself in every era. The Conference has led each renaissance. This rebrand is the next one.

Multi-entityCivic launchUnified websitePress + socialAccelerated

Website, brand, social, and press for an institution that's been around nearly as long as the fifty-star Flag itself. One dignified brand holding the Foundation, America 250, and a wall of regional sponsors. Their aging WordPress site had been hacked through a vulnerable third-party plugin, so we rebuilt and migrated the whole institution to a fast, secure, fully custom site on Cloudflare, with GitHub version control, in days.

The website on a scalable, fully owned stack, built to last, plus the full communications suite.

A launch the region feels, and a team ready for it.

Internal rollout and training first, then a coordinated public launch, then growth.
