Kidco Construction

When Kidco approached us to partner with them, they had strong industry relationships, a steadily growing business, and an established Earthworks service line. But they knew there was more opportunity out there for them—they just needed the right partner to help them seize it.

Together, we built a new communications strategy with two key areas of focus. First, develop a brand which stood out from its peers and showed its full breadth of offerings.

Second, aggressively market the company to existing and potential clients showing why they are an industry leader. Kidco, in fact, has six distinct service lines, but the market was only familiar with one. Giving these service lines equal billing formed the foundation of our strategy.

It also formed the foundation of the brand’s central message:

From Concept to Completion, We’re All In.

The next step was wowing new and existing clients with a custom communications package that helped illuminate what makes Kidco special.

A credentials package was sent out to our key audiences that highlighted the company’s service lines, as well as the newly polished, professional look and feel.

A folder with tabbed inserts showed each service line’s unique contribution to a construction project. Custom written headlines spoke to each service line, and gave readers a sense of each division’s value.

With Kidco’s new identity in the hands of its most important audiences, we helped them launch a new website to create a consistent experience across every key touchpoint.

The website used the same look and feel, conveyed the same confidence, and offered users a chance to explore Kidco’s multifaceted approach to construction.

The brand was seamless launched internally and externally.

Employees showed up on Monday morning with new building signage, business cards, internal posters lining the halls and a launch meeting showing a custom video.

We worked with two Alberta photographers to capture the Kidco team hard at work, as well as do justice to their vast fleet and services.

Responses to the new brand and credentials package were so overwhelmingly positive, the client thought, “Why stop there?” A year later, we re-engaged audiences to create a memorable holiday gift—and the Perfectly Distilled holiday cocktail recipe book was born.

The book includes recipes specific to each service line—sticking to our established communications goals, with a twist.

We engaged an award winning local mixologist to construct these perfect pours. Recipients were pleased to find more than just recipes. We also included every non-perishable item the recipes called for. One recipient noted this was the best gift he had ever received.
