Association Forum
OUR CHALLENGE.
Agency McKenna was tasked with re-invigorating Association Forum’s value proposition and image profile, while highlighting its commitment to being the HUB for association management excellence in Chicago. Association Forum is the largest association for association management professionals and the Midwest business community, second only to Washington D.C.
BUILDING A REVITALIZED BRAND.
Association Forum also partnered with Agency McKenna to develop a positioning strategy with its Board of Directors and build a new brand identity for its centennial. The logo fortifies everything at Association Forum to keep it future-focused. AF Website, Forum Magazine, Holiday Showcase, email marketing, social media and more are stronger with an identity-driven brand.
“Our centennial celebration presents an opportunity to enhance the Forum’s position within the community. The restyled logo is a symbol of the fresh new outlook and forward-thinking mentality the association is carrying into its second century.”
