Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) engaged our team to develop a full rebrand rollout strategy aimed at strengthening the airport's identity, growing passenger loyalty, and differentiating CLE in a competitive regional aviation market. Our process combined extensive secondary research, a competitive audit of peer airports, and original primary research conducted directly inside the terminal, where we surveyed travelers across CLE's core target segments to ground every recommendation in real passenger insight.
The resulting strategy spans a full media plan including display ads, paid search, social media, and influencer partnerships, alongside a suite of brand activations built to make the campaign tangible inside the terminal. Highlights include The Terminal Trail, a first-of-its-kind vinyl floor walking path running through all three concourses that turns dwell time into a branded wellness experience, CLE-branded stickers, pop-up events, and a dedicated CLE Airport app. Every element was designed to reflect a brand identity that is playful, warm, energetic, and full of Cleveland pride.

This project built a full go-to-market strategy for ReadySet Surgical's "Why Now?" campaign with the goal of driving bundled conversion of their Loaner Tray Management and Bill Only Automation solutions. Starting from the insight that the primary sales objection is documented change resistance rather than a rational business concern, we developed three detailed buyer personas, a seven-argument messaging framework grounded in peer-reviewed healthcare operations research, and a four-stage funnel with channel recommendations and content specifications. A brand voice guide derived from ReadySet's own sales transcript and LinkedIn content was integrated throughout, codifying the brand's existing strengths and adding the quiet urgency and human specificity needed to move the content from awareness building to conversion driving. All arguments were source-validated against published research with citations traced to peer-reviewed and primary sources where available.
