Just like that, a brand emerges

POSTMKTG was excited to learn that the Mental Health Association in Fulton and Montgomery Counties (MHAFM), after revieing our proposal from February 2026, decided late that month to invest in a broad branding and graphic standards initiative ahead of the promotion of an inaugural gala to be held in October 2026. However, this presented a challenge, as pre-promotion of the gala was scheduled to launch within weeks of the signing. Branding and promotion would need to proceed simultaneously and swiftly.

Lunch Money Launch

Here’s a remarkable bit of run-and-gun production: the kick-off video for Academy of the Holy Names annual ALLIN for AHN event. This year, the private all-girls school in Albany, New York, was seeking funds to expand and upgrade its cafeteria, famous not for its food (which is actually both lovingly prepared and loved) but for its slow “midcentury modern” serving line. The trick was that this video needed to be filmed on a tight budget, with no rehearsals, on two days’ notice, with amateur talent, during lunch!

The Key is Authenticity

Relationship brands, those businesses and organizations that build and bolster real human connections, have a great advantage in the modern mediascape. In this TikTok era, nothing breaks through better than structured but scriptless short-form video. Whether a school, a college program, or a credit union, authentic light-hearted testimonials are always a welcome break in the infinite feed. The spring 2026 campaign for Academy of the Holy Names is a great example of this strategy in action.

A year-end collaboration celebration

2025 was quite a year, right? Especially for human service groups, private schools, historic museums, membership organizations, and other empathetic businesses and nonprofits. Federal funding cuts, enrollment hurdles, a bumpy economy, and, well, you name it.

However, despite the numerous challenges, our partners emerged from 2025 stronger, more confident, and more determined.
