Smith & Connors successfully completed a brand design project for Meyer Memorial Trust, an equity-based foundation in Oregon. The project involved branding the Trust's Justice Oregon for Black Lives initiative and visualizing key elements of their strategic framework. The client praised Smith & Connors for their excellent communication skills, efficiency, creativity, and responsiveness. They were able to incorporate feedback effectively and were valued as a trusted partner. The team consisted of the owner, a designer, and a project manager, with additional technical support provided for web projects.

The company was also hired by a strategic healthcare investor to modernize their website and branding collateral. Smith & Connors stood out due to their comprehensive model, attention to detail, and customized approach. They worked closely with the client to understand their goals and mission, and guided them through multiple revisions and drafts of their collateral assets. The team, which included the CEO, head of design, head of website launch, and a project manager, made it easy for the client to update their material and information.

Smith & Connors was engaged by a professional carpenters union to produce their annual magazine. The project required a 44-page magazine to be designed, produced, and mailed to over 40,000 households within a tight timeline. Smith & Connors organized the client's ideas and content in a way that was clean, simplified, and reflective of their new brand. They also generated some content for the magazine. The team, which included the co-founder and creative director, a producer, and a designer, successfully completed the project from June to August 2021. The client invested around $20,000 in the project.
