APPROACH

What began as a strategy to promote VNA and gain general awareness ended up uncovering the need for a rebrand. As the healthcare industry became increasingly complex throughout the organization’s 126-year history, the VNA team continued to innovate and advance care in our community, and the brand needed to reflect that leadership position. In 2017, following a thorough research and discovery process, we designed a comprehensive, new brand for VNA.

Their organization and healthcare itself continues to change, especially during the pandemic and with a diverse array of community health needs arising. The emphasis on community has become more acute in the years since the new brand was unveiled, yet the foundation of the brand remains solid as the organization narrows its focus.

With a variety of communications and fundraising objectives that have led to numerous campaigns, annual reports, videos, events and more, we’re proud to help them achieve their goals and amplify their life-saving work in our community.

“Emspace + Lovgren worked directly with our staff, board and clients to develop our exciting new brand. We’re really proud of the results — we’re even getting great feedback about it from our peer organizations across the country.”
