The Animal Foundation

Brand Identity, Architectural Signage, Wayfinding and Experiential Graphics

The Esser Design team partnered with The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas Nevada to design turnkey Architectural Signage and Experiential Graphics for the new Englestad Adoption Center, renovated Lied Animal Shelter and the surrounding campus. This project also included a new brand identity with comprehensive brand standard and guidelines.

The interior and exterior signage and the interior experiential graphics, such as the donor recognition wall and wayfinding kiosks, will complement the architectural and interior design and reflect The Animal Foundation branding and identity program.

ASU Elevate

Building an Experiential Learning brand and website to help ASU students go higher.

Working with ASU’s University College, our challenge was to rebrand their Experiential Learning offering to something that would not only inspire participation, but create a collective hub for students, connectors, creators and school leadership alike. The rebrand included a renaming of the program to ASU Elevate to reflect the purpose of experiential learning – to elevate the opportunities students gain by learning outside of the classroom. We further developed the program’s website, digital display banners, promotional material, and social media posts.

With the ultimate goal of creating one place where students can take their education to the next level by exploring a wide range of real-world experiences found in field work, study abroad, internships and clubs, the Elevate brand was born. Elevate.asu.edu taps into students’ passion and desire to find purpose in their academic journey. Faculty and staff play key roles in promoting Elevate’s Experience Finder students to customize their paths to experiences in and out of the classroom.

MODIGENT

A New Corporate Name, Flexible Brand and National Launch

As Pueblo Mechanical expanded and increased market share, acquiring companies coast to coast, it became essential for the company to rebrand itself as a holding company with a new national name and identity. The overall goal for Pueblo was to establish a unified portfolio with all the current Pueblo locations – and the many businesses to come – operating as a single brand. And with that, Modigent was born.

Along with the name MODIGENT, which reflects the company’s constant alignment between professionalism, experience and commitment to customer success, we developed the positioning line “All ways forward” which speaks to the many directions in which the company is expanding and the various capabilities it offers under one roof. The new corporate brand identity and messaging will consistently communicate their national presence, as well as the breadth and depth of resources and services provided as a leader in their industry.

The creative brand elements have been thoughtfully crafted to be flexible, allowing for application and adaptation by multiple acquired companies. This enables overall brand continuity and consistent messaging to internal and external audiences as the Company continues to grow and expand nationally.

Education Forward Arizona

Ask Benji – AI Chatbot and Digital Assistant Character Design

Education Forward Arizona, who manages the Ask Benji program since its creation in 2019, was looking to refresh the brand with updated character design, graphics and messaging to give it a more current, fun and engaging look and feel aligning better with the high school senior target audience.

San Diego Opera

Brand Identity, Website Design, Business Materials, Marketing Collateral

San Diego Opera is a highly regarded member of the international opera community and an invaluable cultural resource to the San Diego region. Their mission is to deliver exceptional performances and accessible programs to diverse audiences, focusing on the expressive power of the human voice. The leadership team desired to better align with their culturally diverse community and engage new audiences, while still maintaining their relationship with existing patrons.

The current SDO branding was outdated and required a fresh, modern approach to embrace the growing diversity in the San Diego community. New brand creative, positioning and messaging was carefully crafted to emphasize the Opera’s accessibility and approachability.

As part of the brand launch, we developed a robust toolkit including various templates and communications materials for the client’s use, including a comprehensive Brand Style Guide to inform proper usage of the new program. We created numerous outreach, marketing and advertising campaign deliverables to drive engagement, fundraising and ticket sales for the upcoming season’s performances and events.

Pueblo Mechanical & Controls

Brand Identity, Corporate Brochure and Website

Because of additional company acquisitions, Pueblo, an industry leader in HVAC and control systems, needed to update their branding and communication materials. We led them through the research, design, and implementation stages of this process to better speak to their high caliber solutions, customer service, and expanding business model.

We began with a redesign of their brand identity, positioning statement, business system, corporate print collateral. Then designed and developed a corporate website featuring their newly-created branding and marketing content highlighting the use of video in a dynamic way.

Success is a mindset. One that is measured, not solely by the bottom line, but by the willingness and ability to align what you do best with what your customer desires to accomplish. ‘All Systems Go’ was developed as a tagline that speaks to this idea and Pueblo's willingness to always improve their customers' organizations.

For the Arizona Game and Fish Invasive Species Campaign, creating awareness of the aquatic invasive species issue, required a bit of visual nostalgia through beautiful landscape imagery.

Every time.

Business Development Materials

City of Phoenix Water Services

Water Conservation Campaign

We developed an inspirational campaign creative and messaging foundation in the initial year of this three-year campaign, and deployed it widely and successfully through a multi-platform media plan.

The goal of the campaign is to inform the public about the city’s efforts to prepare for drought and water shortages, conserve our most vital resource, and to inspire residents to “see water differently” and do their part to support these efforts.

The brochure delivered important information to patrons about each show, including schedules, venues, subscriptions and ticket prices, as well as ATC’s education endeavors and how patrons can support the organization beyond purchasing tickets.

A series of custom illustrations were concepted and then commissioned from nationally recognized artists to promote this season of shows. Conceptual illustration, along with a stylized title treatment, are representative of the overall tone, theme and plot for each show. These final designs for each show art expression must be flexible enough to work in many different sizes and proportions, as well as media types, for all the demands of the upcoming season’s promotional cycle.

Once a direction is selected, the design team works directly with the selected illustrators to complete the final poster art.

We were asked by the City of Phoenix Water Services Department to create a new bilingual campaign about water and how we use it.

A smaller version of the campaign brochure was created that featured educational and informational content to drive the reader to further engage with the City on water conservation.

We translated the campaign theme to reach the Spanish Community, converting our theme to “Phx Cuida El Agua” which means “Phx takes care of water.” Brochures and info sheets were created in both English and Spanish to promote the City’s readiness and resources surrounding water conservation, as well as responsible water use for both businesses and residents.

The result was a bold, modern and relatable brand, and a new brand positioning line—“the art of live”—was applied to theatre communications and all marketing in order to promote the upcoming Season.

A series of custom illustrations were concepted and then commissioned from nationally recognized artists to promote this season of shows. Conceptual illustration, along with a stylized title treatment, are representative of the overall tone, theme and plot for each show. These final designs for each show art expression must be flexible enough to work in many different sizes and proportions, as well as media types, for all the demands of the upcoming season’s promotional cycle.
