How does your agency remain relevant to a new generation?

We developed a logo that presents the traditional Jewish symbol of a candelabra as a congregation of different types of people. The welcoming colors represent the organization’s upbeat personality. The logo was used as a backdrop during the religious services, acclimating participants to the new organization.
“What a thrill to work directly with the Principal of this company! Howard immediately listened to my needs and my vision, as a small company, and has truly helped turn my dreams into reality! He supports my vision and ensures a brand is created that clearly conveys what I am imagining, and it is a pleasure to work directly with him! I couldn’t be happier or more honored that this prestigious group has made such a positive impact on my future organizational goals!”

”I just wanted to write and say THANKS SO MUCH to you and all of your staff for a very successful “beginning” in our branding and marketing efforts this year. Our first-ever High Holy Day services were a HUGE success, and I wanted you to see how your efforts manifested themselves in our services. We had sold over 350 tickets and hope to hit 400 before the week is over. It was a great first time experience, and our guests told us how much they LOVED the SK artwork and logo design, and how it made them really feel like they were connected to something beautiful. We are thrilled, and looking forward to an amazing year. I consider everything we achieved a huge success, and I thank you ALL for your efforts in helping me create this!”

With non-Jewish pre-school teachers providing the first school experience for pre-schoolers in Jewish schools, there was an opportunity to create a stronger Jewish foundation for these students. So the Board of Jewish Education and Suffolk Adult Jewish Education Services came to together to develop a training program to help educate teachers about values so that they could impart them to their students.
With a limited budget for promotion, we knew the logo needed to convey a lot of information, and do so quickly. We developed the logo around the concept of interaction between the teacher and students. The logo was well received for its human aspect and positive emotional quality. We then adapted it to business cards, and event promotion — which was very successful.
This project was done as a pro bono project under the UJA-Federation’s Management Assistance Program (MAP), and was featured in MAP’s 25 anniversary celebration.
Last night, the UJA-Federation held a reception celebrating 25 years of its Management Assistance Program, its internal volunteer matching service to provide help to its 150 funded agencies.
MAP consultants have worked on more than 1,100 projects for UJA-Federation beneficiary agencies. Services have included strategic planning, board development, marketing, branding and creative services.
Red Rooster Group has provided pro bono branding services through MAP. The branding we did for ENGAJE!, a joint educational venture to help foster awareness of Jewish values to early childhood teachers was featured in MAP’s 25th Anniversary program. In addition, I was featured in a video of MAP consultants discussing their experiences.
For the ENGAJE! initiative, we created a logo and stationery items, brand manual, as well as invitations and program guide for their successful launch event. We are pleased that these items were selected as showcase examples to be featured in MAP’s 25th Anniversary brochure (shown above).
