Success Story

The greatest value for our organization was idgroup’s ability to articulate our hidden culture through a wide range of media. As a business owner, I have known what lies beneath the surface of our organization, but didn’t have the knowledge or process to translate that to an audience.

With the support of idgroup, the airport has exceeded expectations and growth projections in our Master Plan by regaining a foothold and building customer loyalty in our catchment area. We are breaking records every year that exceed the 2019 benchmark—for three consecutive years—and have nearly doubled the numbers in the industry by similar-sized airports.

Matt Coughlin

Airport Director, Pensacola International Airport

Success Story

Their initial support proposal showed that they stood apart from competitors and had a global perspective on my business needs, anticipating what would actually be required, giving me a much-needed roadmap to bring my product to market. From the outset, they established a strong identity for the brand and product, and were able to capture the uniqueness of the product itself in the corporate identity, packaging, and marketing materials.

W. Scott Hinton, Ph.D., P.E.

President, Xiasil, inc.

Success Story

As we worked through our identity and brand strategy, idgroup helped us craft a new name extender to better reflect our roles as “expert real estate advisors.” They also helped us create recruitment campaigns to attract agents and also buyers and sellers who shared our values of creating relationships over transactions.

Geoff Stacey, CRB

Executive Vice President and COO, Bellator Real Estate

Success Story

The customer mapping process gave us an opportunity to set our customers up for success. We had a better understanding of our operational procedures. It helped us keep track of where our customers were throughout the home buying process, and to re-engage customers who were not successful during their first attempt at homeownership.
