Endeavors Now is a husband-and-wife owned digital marketing agency primarily serving clients in central and south-central Kentucky. Before Endeavors Now, the couple owned and managed Endeavors Consulting and Training (2003), a newspaper consulting company. But as times started to change and digital media rapidly took over, the pair choose to quickly adapt and start the full service marketing agency.
Since they were busy learning digital marketing strategies and starting their new business, they never quite got around to creating a logo or visual branding for themselves, which is what I was tasked with. They wanted a more fresh and contemporary look to represent their current digital market, but feared of coming off as ‘too high-tech’.
Endeavors Now wanted to update their identity to better reflect their current industry and digital marketing services. However, they didn't want to come off as "too contemporary" as to intimidate their client base, which are local businesses in small Kentucky counties. My challenge was to walk to fine line of refreshing their identity while keeping it approachable to their customers.
I presented several identity concepts, but we ultimately landed on the following, successfully giving their brand the much needed revamp.

Below are email signature designs for the owners of Endeavors Now, Debbie and Mike. Debbie wanted her picture to be featured in the email signature while Mike did not, so I designed two versions to meet their requests. Both email signatures feature hyperlinks, meaning that when you click on the Facebook icon, you will be redirected to the company’s Facebook page. This also includes their website and LinkedIn page.
