Transforming An Established Initiative With Fresh & Vibrant Marketing

Nonprofit marketing is immensely rewarding. Nothing feels better than helping a deserving initiative promote its products and services to support the community where you live and work. Our team is passionate about creating vivid and inspiring branding, websites, messaging and digital ads that transform these much-needed organizations. Over the past several years, Maureen Bowler (Mo) from the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board (HRCSB) has been a valued partner of Estland. She’s a grant-writing wizard who has brought more funds into the community to support vital infrastructure and we’re incredibly proud to help her through each phase of her projects.

The Healthy Community Collaborative (HCC) was established in 1996 to conduct assessments on community needs. Their work is vital to the Harrisonburg community, but their branding and messaging didn’t align with their vision. That’s where Mo and Estland came together to create a fresh, vibrant, and long-lasting brand that inspires other nonprofits to collaborate with them and improve the community we know and love.

Marketing For Nonprofits

That Inspires & Communicates With A Community

When Maureen (Mo) Bowler requested a marketing proposal for a new grant-funded initiative of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board, she wanted a marketing agency with experience working with nonprofits and community advocates. Branding and marketing a nonprofit requires a deft hand skilled at communicating with different audiences. Thankfully, the team at Estland has decades of experience doing just that.

Estland worked closely with Mo and her team to name and brand this new initiative. After exploring dozens of options, Wellness Connection was born with a heartwarming logo that resonates in the Friendly City. Wellness Connection collaborates with our local community to provide preventative resources to address mental health challenges, substance use and suicide in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, VA. Their services are critical to supporting the well-being of the community where Estland lives and works.

A Modern Rebrand

With Vintage Charm: Logo, Web Design & More!

When Mike and Melanie Smith purchased Griffith Bag Company in 2020, they had a vision – to infuse a touch of vintage charm into a brand deeply rooted in tradition, while propelling it into the digital age. With over 75 years of service in the agricultural and landscaping industries, Griffith Bag Co. possessed a strong legacy, but its branding had become dated, and it was virtually invisible online.

  • A creative approach to marketing an esoteric industry

With extensive financial industry marketing experience, Estland was the perfect marketing partner for Oak Hill Wealth Advisors.

Financial planners can spend years fostering connections with their clients. Our decades of storytelling experience can seamlessly facilitate those relationships by transporting target audiences from the first step of the process through the last.

Comprehensive Marketing For An Established Brand

In 2021, J.D. Buss of Twin Feathers approached Estland to enhance the branding, web presence, and marketing efforts of his commodity advising firm based in Overland Park, Kansas. Despite Twin Feathers’ extensive experience in nurturing enduring client relationships, they encountered difficulty in effectively conveying their value proposition through their website and marketing materials.

To address this challenge, Estland embarked on a comprehensive messaging strategy, aiming to distill Twin Feathers’ services and streamline their communication channels. We immersed ourselves in understanding every facet of their brand and engaged in close collaboration with J.D. and Tina. Together, we crafted a compelling tagline, defined a clear mission and vision, established core values, and formulated an impactful elevator pitch that not only resonated with their target audience but also aligned seamlessly with their long-term objectives.

The most intricate yet rewarding aspect of this messaging transformation involved segmenting Twin Feathers’ services into three distinct packages and articulating precisely what clients could anticipate from each offering. By delving deeply into this messaging process, Twin Feathers successfully realigned their services and values with their brand, enabling them to present a unified and compelling message to their clientele.
