JFS approached us about the possibility of rebranding their organization and, after a market analysis, we recommended a new, sleeker name. Previously Jewish Family & Children’s Services, they wanted something that reflected their legacy of community service without feeling old and stuffy. And they also wanted the new branding to speak to their inclusivity and progressive nature.
As for audience, branding needed to appeal to older, primarily Jewish donors, as well as clients who were mostly not Jewish and living below the poverty line. Thus was our challenge: marrying donors’ desire for a sophisticated look-and-feel with clients’ need for approachability.
