Smith & Connors

Smith & Connors collaborated with a professional carpenters union to expedite the production of their annual magazine. The 44-page magazine, which was mailed to over 40,000 households, was designed to convey a new brand in a simplified way. The team at Smith & Connors organized the content provided by the union, created some of their own, and handled the strategy, design, and production of the magazine. The project, which ran from June to August 2021, cost around $20,000. The union's director of communications worked primarily with the co-founder and creative director of Smith & Connors, along with a producer and a designer.

Smith & Connors assisted a healthcare company in modernizing their website and collateral to better represent their brand. The team worked closely with the company to understand their goals and mission, and helped them identify which aspects of their brand to retain and which to adjust. They guided the company through multiple revisions and drafts of all their collateral assets, making it easy for them to update material and information. The company worked with a team of 5-6 people from Smith & Connors, including the CEO, head of design, head of website launch, and a project manager.

Smith & Connors partnered with Meyer Memorial Trust, an equity-based foundation in Oregon, on several projects in 2021. They helped brand the foundation's Justice Oregon for Black Lives initiative, shared the foundation's DEI journey with external audiences, and visualized key elements of their strategic framework. The foundation's senior communications specialist praised Smith & Connors for their excellent communication, efficiency, creativity, and responsiveness. The specialist worked primarily with the owner, a designer, and a project manager from Smith & Connors, with additional technical support for web projects.
