Ride with Pride

In 2025, we partnered with Indego BikesExternal link to rideindego.com. Opens in a new tab. and The Attic Youth CenterExternal link to atticyouthcenter.org. Opens in a new tab. to create a campaign that celebrated Pride beyond the month of June and helped LGBTQ+ youth in Philadelphia feel seen and empowered to be themselves. Through custom-designed bikes, out-of-home advertising, social media, video storytelling, and community activations, we built a multi-channel campaign that reached beyond traditional Pride branding to create a graphic language and messaging that felt authentic, playful, and rooted in the city.

The Mosaic Awards honors companies and individuals who display their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through creative work, advocacy, and company-wide initiatives. In addition to winning an Integrated Advertising Campaign Mosaic ADDY in 2026, Ride with Pride also earned a GDUSA awardExternal link to gdusa.com. Opens in a new tab. in 2025.

From the streets of the Philly Pride Parade to subway signs, we wanted the LGBTQ+ youth of our city to feel seen and empowered to be themselves..

Philadelphia Cycling Classic

We developed and launched a multi-channel campaign to reintroduce the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, America’s premier one-day professional cycling race. We’re building awareness and excitement for its return to the streets of Philadelphia on August 30, 2026, after years away.

The redesign was more than a logo; it created a complete brand world designed to capture the energy, speed, and spirit of race day.

Starting with a distinctive visual identity, we developed a cohesive system of color, typography, messaging, iconography, and photography. From brand strategy and content planning to creative execution and sponsorship materials, this new identity enabled us to tell a story and rally fans, sponsors, and media for the event. The campaign launched with a high-impact press conference and continues to build momentum through coordinated marketing and audience engagement initiatives. In recognition of its strategic and creative impact, the campaign’s logo design earned a Silver ADDY Award from the American Advertising Federation.
