A dramatic comeback: the history of sports at AHN

AHN Athletic Hall of Fame mural and 1913 yearbookPOSTMKTG is thrilled to have helped Academy of the Holy Names rediscover its proud 110-year history of athletics and put it on display. A new 150-foot mural celebrates milestones and nearly forgotten memories.

Dedicated to AHN’s long-time athletic directory, Carlo Cherubino, the athletic mural and its accompanying text required hours of research. Every yearbook published from 1910 on (which were all carefully stored in AHN’s temperature controlled archive) was carefully reviewed, photographed and cross referenced with period newspaper clippings, letters and memoirs, journal articles, photographs and other sources. Piece by piece, an amazing story emerged … one that no living member of the AHN community was even aware!

History in the making

AHN History MuralThe history of women in education since the mid-nineteenth century has been lovingly preserved in a temperature-controlled archive at Academy of the Holy Names in Albany, New York. But folders, photos, racks of uniforms and shelves of yearbooks don’t, by themselves, tell a story.

For the story, AHN turned to POSTMKTG.

POSTMKTG AT 11

The marketing world was changing fast in 2012, the year POSTMKTG was founded.

New opportunities were opening for startups, specialized businesses and brands with big social networks but limited advertising budgets. A lot of work was shifting in-house. Social connections seemed a great untapped asset.

No one knew for sure where it was going. But being small, skilled and plugged in all seemed like advantages. Though it felt random and chaotic in real time, a year into our second decade, the story of our success reads as a steady march. Almost like, all along, we knew what we were doing.

Helping New Yorkers raise their voices and say, “food is a basic human right!”

Hunger Relief Video StillThough the pandemic is waning, with inflation up, too many New Yorkers are still struggling to feed their families. This video, part of an ongoing print, PR and social media campaign, was produced on behalf of Feeding New York State to boost community awareness and engagement, and encourage viewers to sign a petition asking government officials to support continued full funding of hunger relief programs.

Heila joins the Kohler brand family

HeilaiQ landing pageThe claim made by the freshly-minted MIT grads at Heila at our first meeting in 2019 was quite extraordinary: The unreliability and wastefulness (not to mention climate destroying potential) of the 100-year old U.S. centralized power grid could be undone and rectified with game theory.

It didn’t take genius to sense these young engineers were onto something. But it did take some work to translate their enthusiasm into a story others could understand.

On behalf of two amazing organizations

It’s a balance. We’re in business. And for the most part that means trading services for a fee. But occasionally we’ll cross paths with an amazing organization doing amazing work that just needs a little help building a professional website.

Recently, we adopted two: The Underground Railroad Education Center and the Joshua Project of Schoharie County.
