OK, have we mentioned that we love our clients yet? If we have, it’s because it’s true! 

One of our favourite parts of working with organizations where we’re passionate about their mission is when we’re able to build long-lasting relationships. 

Seeing our clients grow, adapt, and create new solutions for challenges is thrilling. St. Matthew’s House is an organization we’ve had the pleasure of witnessing evolve for many years, making a substantial impact on the community.

St. Matthew’s House is a place of hope that supports people in need — offering childcare services, senior support, and mental health outreach to individuals and families across Hamilton.

Our work together began as the simple design of their strategic plan and to bring more cohesion to their visual assets. Since then, we’ve created a whole new project-based brand for 412 Barton together and found true partnership in one another.

So, of course, we jumped at the opportunity to work with them again on a rebrand of their adopt-a-family holiday program, now called Holiday Hope. The goals were to rename the program and create branding to build recognition in the community, increase donors, and create holiday magic for everyone participating. 

We’re so happy with the new look and feel of the Holiday Hope program. This program matches low-income families and seniors in the Hamilton area with individuals, families, or groups who will sponsor their holiday with seasonal meals and personalized gifts. Check out the new look, and how you can get involved this holiday season here.
