That's a wrap on the 70th Annual Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival! It's been a busy four days (and six months 😜) but there's nowhere else I’d rather be when it comes to the third week in March. Thank you to the Arts & Crafts Festival Foundation, 2022 Chairman, Vicky Cook, and Co-Chair, Stephen Roberts , the , and the hundreds of artists, volunteers, sponsors, and guests that make this weekend possible. And thank you to all of the editors, writers, news directors, publishers, and local media that helped to tell our 70-year story. It was record-setting PR year for the event and this marketing girl couldn’t be prouder.
🥳🥂Until next year!

I've loved working with Harmonic Media Marketing on a new project for the 70th Annual Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival. This is the first in a series of videos to promote this year's event. I'm so excited that after two (crazy) years, the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival will be back in full force!

👩🏼‍💻 Knee deep over here making plans and setting goals for 2022. Who else loves the clean start a new year provides?

Speaking of clean, have you met my friends at HOPE Cleaning Co. yet?

I wrapped up this project last year and still get a smile every time I see the light, refreshing branding when I spot it. Not just because it is pretty, but because I couldn't love the mission behind the brand more!

Founder Christa K Myrick is a hardworking mother of three who was inspired to start her own residential cleaning business after struggling for years to find a reliable, consistent, high-quality cleaning company for her own home. She also wanted to create a business that found a way to give back to the community while providing stable, well-paying jobs in the process. She quit her corporate job, took a leap of faith, and launched the Hope Cleaning Company in 2021.

The Hope Cleaning Company goes above and beyond any cleaning service you’ve ever worked with.

When you purchase a cleaning service from Hope Cleaning Company, you can be assured that you will have a fantastic experience and (*BONUS*) know that your investment helps them provide cleaning services to those in need. They partner with local organizations to provide services to people on the Eastern Shore who need a little help around the house. (Think cancer patient in the midst of chemo treatment or an elderly neighbor who just had a hip replacement.) They also accept nominations through their website if you know somebody who could use a helping hand! After all, nothing sparks joy quite like coming home to a clean house. When your home gets cleaned, your investment helps them give hope to somebody who could really use it. How inspiring is that?

Kudos to Christa and her team for creating this one-of-a-kind business and inspiring all of us to find a way to spread kindness.

Keep your eyes on this . She's just getting started!

Monday Makeover // Legal Edition 🏛👩🏼‍⚖️
We recently helped the team at the Baldwin County Bar Association develop a new logo to represent their organization. They wanted something reflective of Baldwin County’s courthouse located on Bay Minette’s city square, but nothing too “stuffy”. The concept was simple yet traditional, and they loved the finished product. I can’t wait to see all the ways they implement their new branding suite.
