We’re pulling back the curtain on our creative process with the Waco Downtown Farmers Market🍓🥕🍋🥦

Our task? To develop brand guidelines while addressing two messaging pain points: informing the community about the market’s new location and increasing awareness that SNAP benefits are accepted. Through strategy, thoughtful messaging, and compelling visuals, we assisted WDFM in reaching the community as a whole. We are so excited to see flourish in their new home!

We’re proud to support the Waco Downtown Farmers Market () as they transition to their new home at Bridge Street Plaza. They came to us with a logo but needed a brand framework to refine their messaging and overarching visuals — to highlight their mission of operating a welcoming, diverse market that truly reflects the community.

One of our favorite contributions? Crafting the tagline “Bridging Farm to Neighborhood” — a subtle nod to Waco’s historic Suspension Bridge and their new home at Bridge Street Plaza. Beyond the literal reference, it also carries a deeper meaning, reinforcing the market’s mission of connecting local growers with the community.

We can’t wait to see the market thrive in its new home!

Disclaimer: There were no humans or alligators harmed in the making of this event branding.

We loved partnering with Keep Waco Beautiful for their River Cleanup Competition! We wanted the look and feel to fit seamlessly into the parent brand and serve as a classic layout for years to come…and we couldn’t resist having a little fun with it😉 Hey, a little trash talk never hurt anyone.

Hilarity ensued when a joke regarding “alligator insurance” was taken out of context in a KWB social post (Waco, IYKYK). We couldn’t help ourselves when Carole enlisted our help in bringing levity to the event by making the Waco Brazos alligator the mascot.

One of our favorite parts of a branding project is seeing strategy and design come together in the ex*****on phase. We love seeing how our work translates to real-world applications!

If you have ever worked in corporate America, you'll see many beloved sports metaphors finding their way into business vernacular: "Let's knock this one out of the park," "This project needs a team kickoff," and "I keep getting thrown curveballs"…just to name a few😉

After spending extensive time in higher education, Jessica and Jen learned that this language resonates with academic stakeholders. We decided sports themes would be a playful way to capture attention and engage their target audience. For this reason, we dubbed their brand guidelines, their “Brand Playbook.” Just as a playbook guides a team to victory, these guidelines were crafted to take them all the way.
