Case Study: Atlas Peak Olive Oil

Since their first product launch, my team provided brand, web, packaging and marketing services

The Challenge

Atlas Peak was on a shoe-string budget, but wanted to begin presenting their products as a premium product offering. They wanted their multiple product package designs to have a family feel, with expandability into the future.

The Solution

Starting by examining the market and customer base, we designed a new logo that would work well in the speciality foods market. Growing the new brand platform, we systematically designed a product packaging lineup, and web platform to deliver a synchronized look and feel across their entire marketing landscape.

 

Premium product packaging puts a face on a premium product!

Quality Branding has global appeal...

Atlas Peak Olive Oil sells through 3 primary venues; boutique grocery stores, farmers markets and online through their website. Every one of these sales venues project the image and brand of Atlas Peak to the world, so a comprehensive and overarching premium brand look is mission critical. We provide that by building each new element on a strong brand look, carefully matching new elements with old and driving sales through positive customer impression and feedback.

“Finding a good designer is always a challenge. We got lucky when we found ContentX. Over the years, their support has been unwavering and of immense value to me and to my organization.”

Case Study: Efficient Drivetrains

Gaben built long-term success with comprehensive marketing, brand, financial acquisition and creative services

The Challenge

Efficient Drivetrains came to my design firm ContentX over 15 years ago with a dream of building a company around their unique patents in the field of electric vehicle technology. They had big dreams of becoming an industry player, but were restricted by the classic financial challenge of a start-up budget. Success would demand premium quality work across a wide range of creative service requirements.

 

 

The Solution

As they were initially in start-up mode, I was a perfect fit for their requirements. Using the moniker of ContentX, as a designer and producer, I was approachable, agile and reasonably priced. I  had the flexibility to staff up based on fluctuating requirements. 

 For the last 15 years I helped them grow and expand. There hasn’t been a section of their business that me and my ad-hoc team hasn’t supported, including:

  • Marketing and Promotional Strategy and Consulting
  • Logo and Identity Design and Production, from brochures to identity package
  • Videography and Animation
  • Interior Site Design for both facilities
  • Tradeshow booth and event support
  • Multi-language website and web outreach
  • Press Release and PR support
  • User Interface design
  • Realtime Promotional Software
  • Financial Acquisition Presentation Tools

The culmination of our relationship has been the acquisition of EDI by Cummins, Inc.  Now operating as a division of Cummins, EDI still relies on me to provide targeted creative services for their management team.

 

I grew Efficient Drivetrains from an fledgling start-up to a successful corporate acquisition in just under 15 years!

Support from Start-up to Acquisition

EDI founders Joerg Ferchau and Andy Frank are true innovators, coming from the research labs of academia, to this point, where their technology to be found in most modern electric vehicles. In the early stages, they had the raw talent but needed to grow a team of cross-functional assets to build a company with potential for success. From the early days of experimentation and grant pursuit, through years of research and development, and now, with the feather of a corporate acquisition fresh in our cap, I helped the team with their creative services, marketing and promotion. Working with every level of the team, me and my various contractors have proudly stood with the EDI family from the beginning. EDI will tell you that a combination of relationship chemistry and design excellence is what makes working with Gaben Chancellor such a rewarding long-term success.

Successful acquisition by a $20B company!

The proof of my design value can be tracked over time, by simply observing EDI’s successes. $20M in investment (seed through series D). $25+M in state and federal grants acquired. $100M in pipeline generated as a result of successful demand generation programs resulting in integration into 27 vehicle platforms with leading customers like Daimler, PG&E, Thomas Built Bus, Freightliner, and Bluebird bus. From presentations and graphics, to printed trade show materials and interior location design, our marketing and creative services support has helped across the EDI organization to keep professional level brand a mission critical priority. I have repeatedly helped EDI show the world their best face, and can do that for almost any company and in any market, as my design is driven from the customer’s core business values, with brand efforts designed to support all aspects of the company face and operations.

“We don’t work with Gaben and his team because of their past client list. We work with them because of the more human factors. They listen carefully and respond intelligently, with design work that clearly reflects our needs, desires and requirements. They are part of our family, and we would recommend them to any business who wants premium collaboration, outstanding quality and creative solutions to business challenges.”

Mendocino Film Festival

Mendocino Film Festival

Case Study: Mendocino Film Festival

As a board of director member and marketing director, I led the team to provide marketing, brand and creative services

The Challenge

Mendocino Film Festival (MFF) is a small film festival in a remote area of the Northern California Coast. Their primary challenges are to attract interested sponsors, increase membership, and drive attendance to their venues which are spread throughout the county. As a non-profit, their budget was limited so they needed to see serious effect for any expenditure.

The Solution

As with any complex organization, the solution was multi-layered. To start with, for the first time in their history, they had found a local provider with whom they could work directly with, and who new their local market. We started with the foundation, an existing logo, and built that into a true brand identity by reverse engineering their look across all elements of their outreac. A new standards package was created to ensure the various distributed teams would project a cohesive brand. Next, we examined and overhauled their public facing marketing materials. New pitch materials were created for the sponsorship drive. New outreach was strategized and created for the membership generation process. New ads were built for local papers, theaters, magazines and social media. A new branded look and template overhauled the show program. Each element that was created was reviewed by the MFF team and synchronized with the brand standards. The growth in sponsorship, membership and attendance was exceptional, and prepared MFF for its 10th anniversary blow-out!

 

 

Membership, Sponsorship & Attendance all increased more in one year than all nine years previous!

Membership up 35%

At the core of the festival are the repeat attendees, and as this area is remote, the membership is key to keeping the interest alive. Our new approach and polished materials drove an increase in membership of over 35%!

Sponsorship up 23%

Affluent donors and company donations enable special events, cover the costs of the large main tent and keep the wolves from the door. Recognizing this is as vital lifeblood, we applied new efforts and materials to this challenge, increasing sponsorship by 23% over the previous year.

Attendance up 42%

As attendance has been good over the years, the size of the festival had grown steadily. When we came on board, the festival had just made the leap of adding a large new venue to accommodate the sold-out smaller theatres. Of course, with the new size came new expense, requiring that attendance be pushed even higher. Our cross-system attention to brand cohesion saw an increase of attendance across all venues by almost 40%!

“Working with Gaben, as a hands-on marketing director (and, his collaborative creative director) was a pleasure. Deep knowledge, unbounded creativity and lots of positive energy made the experience better than we expected. All that… coupled with measurable results! I highly recommend Gaben and his team for any of your marketing or creative design efforts.”
Michael Fox, Executive Director, Mendocino Film Festival.

Duke Empirical

Duke Empirical

Case Study: Duke Empirical

Gaben and his team has supplied top-shelf creative services and product design support

The Challenge

Duke Empirical and its affiliate Duke Extrusion need to project a premium creative and marketing position to a demanding market, but their project timelines and requirements are sporadic, making having a full time marketing staff problematic. They also wanted their brand to be consistent across both companies, and throughout their product landscape, so they were worried about using piece-meal media productions. 

 

 

The Solution

 After getting some pretty expensive quotes from formal marketing agencies, they bumped into us in the halls of our building, and we immediately hit it off. As a fellow entrepreneur, I understood the owners challenges and needs, and could be flexible with his requirements. As an outsourced provider, I could deliver  on-demand services from a single source, while maintaining consistent brand application across all elements. As a small business, I was approachable, agile and reasonably priced with the flexibility to staff up based on fluctuating requirements. 

Over the last ten years, I have helped the executive team and Duke with the following elements:

  • Creative services Strategy and Consulting
  • Brand identity support
  • Tradeshow booth and production
  • Product and prototype design support
  • Videography and animation
  • Press Release and PR support
  • Print and Collateral

Duke continues to innovate medical devices for a world desperately in need of such work. We continue to support their efforts on a case by case basis.

 

 

 

I helped grow and evolve Duke Empirical and Duke Extrusion through out-sourced brand and creative services.

Support from Start-up to Medium Sized Business

dDuke Empirical has been breaking ground with medical innovation for years. It is a challenging business, with products taking decades to move from a sketch on a napkin to an approved medical device. Creative Services, on the other hand, are often produced in short sprints, and can be very different tasks based on the portion of the cycle you are in. Paying for a team to sit around waiting for something to do is just not financially viable. We fit their needs perfectly, as we work in parallel, having multiple clients in different states of product development. When Duke is ready to visualize a new product, or are moving on to printing a brochure for a trade show roll-out, we can spring into action. From the early days of growth, to Duke’s recent push to support their growing endeavor, I have been there by their side, a dedicated and internally knowledge provider with their best interests as my guiding principle.

“I have been working with Gaben, Ray and their ContentX team for years, and can’t say enough good things about working with this dynamic team. Gaben’s immediate grasp of complex engineering challenges help immensely as we attempt to communicate out products to a competitive landscape of products and services. Ray’s deep experience in marketing has been invaluable in presenting our on-going services and products to a hungry world.”
