NextStep FCU: For all the adventures ahead

NextStep FCU BillboardPOSTMKTG proudly presents NextStep, our from-the-ground-up rebranding of School Services Federal Credit Union. Everything, from research and strategy, to name, logo, and tagline, to website and app, signage, and all the collateral bits that make up a financial institution, all done in 10-months.

NextStep provides an excellent demonstration of the competitive advantages smaller, swifter businesses now have relative to their bigger and always more bureaucratic competitors.

Cherry Hill: A website of historic significance

Historic Cherry Hill is a treasure that has served both as a living museum and a center for research for more than 60 years. Infamous as the site of a brutal crime of passion, the 1827 murder of John Whipple by hired hand Jesse Strang who hoped to continue his affair with John’s wife, Elsie, the 65,000 artifacts housed at the museum have been put to work by scholars and archivists to tell a complex story of a proud family who were often in debt, anxious about social standing, and fearful of a changing world.

Unilux: Call them overbuilt if you like

Combining the principles of design thinking with our own eight-step strategic process, POSTMKTG helped Unilux revamp its brand architecture, revise its graphic standards, build-out its digital platform – web, email marketing, digital retargeting, public relations and SEO – and get down to the business of working with its sales team to identify opportunities sell its stuff.

Heila Technologies

Heila (pronounced ‘hay-la’) turned to POSTMKTG to help it rapidly mature its brand, jump the company’s website a couple of generations into the future, and aggressively position and promote its product to five key targets – vendors, utilities, developers, energy users and public officials.

POSTMKTG specializes in creating compelling brands and effective promotional strategies for clients in manufacturing and technology.

Central Park Rose Garden: Taking time to smell the roses

On an early fall walk to work down Union Street into the City of Schenectady, nearing Wright Avenue, the phone rang. An almost apologetic voice asked if POSTMKTG designed websites. The answer was yes, of course. The second question was if we would design a website for a small organization with an associated small budget, the volunteer group that managed Schenectady’s Central Park Rose Garden. Kismet, because the garden was at that point in the walk just a quick left and a 2-blocks away.

AHN launches community-empowering website

AHN WebsiteTo build on the branding and marketing momentum that has generated a 10% increase in enrollment over the last year, and to position itself for future growth, Academy of the Holy Names worked with POSTMKTG to completely overhaul its public web presence.

Not only does it look fantastic, the new ahns.org frees the school from the cumbersome proprietary CMS, which will simplify updates and code extensions and allow the school to fully integrate the website into its marketing efforts.

Schrader and Company Kitchen

Schrader and Company builds out

At the misty dawn of our marketing relationship, way back some two and a half years, a small client like Schrader and Company, a local construction services company, had few affordable and effective marketing options at their disposal. How fast TikTok and other video-based targetable marketing options have changed the landscape.

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.
