Pekarsky & Co. Establishes Itself as a Leading Executive Search Firm with Brand Identity and Marketing Materials Please note, this project was completed in 2018. As Western Canada’s go-to executive search and leadership advisory firm, Pekarsky & Co. is proud to help some of Canada’s leading companies place top-tier talent—and all with a personalized, people-first approach. Challenge When a previous partner retired, the firm (then called Pekarsky & Stein) needed to be renamed to reflect the recent change. In addition to a brand overhaul, Owner Adam Pekarsky needed to find a way to communicate the change effectively, and reposition the company as a unique leader in its space. Solution Working in lockstep with the client, WCD Creative developed a naming and brand identity strategy that would help Pekarsky & Co. establish itself as a leading executive search firm and increase brand awareness within its target market. With the new logo and visual identity, WCD Creative aimed to reflect the organization’s values and create a look that would stand out in the corporate marketplace. The ampersand in the logo was designed with intention to serve as a key graphic element in brand materials. Website & Business Cards Brochure Results Today, Pekarsky & Co. is a recognizable brand name in the executive search space. WCD Creative brought the brand to life through various materials including their website, business cards, brochures, office signage, and promotional materials—establishing a strong brand presence that continues to reflect the professionalism and caliber of the team. The iconic ampersand has become a recognizable part of the Pekarsky & Co. brand (eventually becoming the official name of the company’s well-subscribed newsletter, “The Ampersand”). Their eye-catching look continues to evolve across materials and mediums, attracting clients and talent from coast to coast.

Alberta Motor Association Improves Member Onboarding Experience with Help from WCD Creative The Alberta Motor Vehicle Association (AMA) is a member-based organization and leading advocate for traffic safety, crime prevention, and travel and consumer protection in Alberta. With over 980,000 members across the province, the organization provides critical services like roadside assistance, vehicle insurance, driver training, registration services and more. The Challenge With a goal to improve their member onboarding experience, AMA needed to find a way to engage new members, show the value of their membership awards program, and showcase members’ resulting savings in an interactive and personalized way. Solution Working closely with AMA’s marketing team, WCD Creative developed a self-serve online tool for new members to create their very own personalized handbook. After selecting custom cover images and identifying the savings they are interested in, members are shown a personalized chart that shows the return on investment of their membership. With various automated touchpoints built into the campaign, AMA can ensure members complete their online handbook and realize savings. Personalized Brochure Results After launching the program, AMA immediately saw an increase in member engagement. Email workflows built into the campaign generated open rates of more than 70%, and AMA gained valuable insight into data on member preferences so they could begin personalizing partner offers. With an increase in the number of member emails captured at the first step of the onboarding process, AMA drastically increased awareness of the savings and value included in their memberships. As an added benefit of working with WCD’s extended Print Solutions, AMA also reduced their costs for the print-related components of this multi-touch campaign.
