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.

Web Design & Branding

Web Design That Showcases A Respected Contractor

Eric Good first contacted Estland to explore new names, branding, web design and full-spectrum marketing for his excavating, grading and concrete business. For 25 years, GoodEx was Good’s Services, a name Eric chose early in his business venture because it allowed him to expand his service offering over time. Sounds like a good idea, right? Here was the problem — the name didn’t communicate the type or breadth of his services. Good’s Services had a strong reputation and was considered a premier excavating company in our area, but they needed outside developers to understand that as much as the locals.

We channeled our creativity into several unique business names that capitalized on Eric’s last name and started to inform consumers of his services. Four logo renditions, a new website, custom videography, and photography showcase the GoodEx difference to their local community and beyond.

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.

Financial Services Marketing is About the Relationship

Through Storytelling We Engage Prospective Clients

Financial services marketing looks a little different from marketing other industries. When experienced CFP®’s Patrick Larkin and Timothy Schmidt decided to open their own wealth management firm, they had specific requirements for their chosen marketing agency:

  • Financial industry marketing experience
  • Ability to meet compliance requirements
  • 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. By using language to build credibility and empathy, we set the foundation for a long-lasting relationship between the client and the advisor.

Gas & Oil Branding

Guiding A Respected Business Through A Branding Transformation

Nothing feels better than branding you are proud of and passionate about. If your website, apparel and trucks feel outdated, customers may think your services are outdated. Bottom line – visual appeal attracts more customers. And when it’s time to update your website, it is often time to take a closer look at your brand as a whole.

When we first met with Chris Stanley over at Euliss Propane, we discussed rebuilding their website to bring Euliss up-to-date and into the 21st Century. We wanted to provide Euliss with an online web platform that could work as an effective sales tool. Chris wanted to integrate his website with the MyFuel Portal so that his customers could pay their bills online and check to see their tank levels. He knew that a mobile-friendly and easy-to-use website was a necessary investment and Estland delivered.

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.
