Martin Electric

Martin Electric, a family-owned electrical service company run by father and son duo Jay and Jake, sought to re-energize their brand presence within the community. They wanted to highlight their reliable, customer-centric services while maintaining the close-knit feel of their family-run business. From logo design to crafting community-centered marketing, I had the opportunity to support Martin Electric in reaching new customers and strengthening their existing relationships.

The Challenge

As an established business, Martin Electric had a strong reputation in the local community. However, they needed a refreshed brand identity that conveyed their professional expertise, along with their family values and commitment to quality service. I was tasked with creating a modern logo, developing newsletters to keep customers informed, and launching brand marketing campaigns that would enhance their presence in the area.

Logo Design

The logo design process started with a focus on simplicity and professionalism. I worked closely with Jay and Jake to ensure the design captured the essence of their business:

• Symbolism: A clean, geometric lightning bolt merged with an electrical plug, representing the core services they provide.
• Typography: Strong, bold fonts to evoke trust and reliability, with subtle rounded edges to reflect the family-run nature of the business.
• Color Palette: A modern combination of dark navy blue and bright yellow, symbolizing both professionalism and energy.

The final logo was versatile enough to be used across vehicles, uniforms, business cards, and online platforms, helping to solidify their visual identity in the community.

Newsletter Design

To help Jay and Jake keep their customers engaged, I designed a series of monthly newsletters that were both informative and visually appealing. The newsletters featured:

• Energy-Saving Tips: Practical advice for homeowners on how to reduce electricity bills, positioning Martin Electric as a helpful resource.
• Service Spotlights: Highlighting specialized services such as emergency repairs, generator installations, and home electrical inspections.
• Customer Testimonials: Personal stories from satisfied customers that helped build trust and loyalty within the community.

The newsletter format ensured that customers received valuable content while keeping Martin Electric top of mind for future projects.

Brand Marketing

Community engagement was key to Martin Electric’s growth strategy. To achieve this, I worked on several initiatives to elevate their brand presence in the local area, including:

• Social Media Campaigns: Designed graphics and content that emphasized their family-owned values, paired with testimonials and behind-the-scenes insights into their work.
• Event Sponsorships: Crafted marketing materials for local events, such as charity runs and school fundraisers, where Martin Electric could build stronger ties with the community.
• Promotional Materials: From door hangers to vehicle decals, I designed materials that reinforced their brand in visually impactful ways.

Outcome

The refreshed branding for Martin Electric was well-received by both the community and their existing customer base. The new logo became instantly recognizable, and the newsletters provided a consistent channel for communication with customers. Jay and Jake were able to strengthen their business relationships and expand their reach through the local marketing campaigns we developed.

It was an exciting opportunity to work with a passionate father-son team and help power up their business for continued success.
