Accelerating growth through brand

Alleo Brand Identity

Hospice of Chattanooga has a proud legacy of providing compassionate care to patients and families across the Southeast. As the organization expanded its services—adding pediatric and perinatal care and growing into multiple states—it needed a unified brand to connect its network while honoring local roots. We partnered closely with the executive team to lead a full brand strategy, rebranding, and naming process. The challenge: unify a variety of distinct organizations under one cohesive identity without sacrificing local recognition.

Together, we created a new name, brand architecture, logo, and visual identity system. The resulting brand—Alleo Health System—serves as an umbrella for all service providers, maintaining existing local names while aligning them through a cohesive visual and symbolic system.

This strategic rebrand fueled extraordinary growth, expanding Alleo’s reach to over 80 organizations in 15 states, driving revenues from deficit to seven-figure profits, and culminating in a transformative acquisition that established a new health-focused nonprofit with a $112 million endowment.

Services: Naming, Visual Identity + Brand Architecture, Writing, Website Designs (multiple), Ads, Outdoor, Video

Creative Direction: Paul Rustand; Design Direction: Liz Tapp; Design: Travis Hitchcock, Mark Slawson, Athene Ruiz, John Le, Ben Dicks; Writing: Jacob Biba; Photography: Dotson Commercial.

Soccer meets the Avant Garde

The Avant Garde

Avant Soccer Identity Design

This consulting group grew a club from scratch in Chattanooga – one that has been extremely successful. After fielding many requests to replicate their success in other cities, they decided to start Avant Soccer. Avant Soccer experts are thoroughly convinced that the growth potential in American soccer is in markets of 1 million or smaller.

And because Avant Soccer believes that small markets are the future of American soccer, they offer the following to lower division clubs across North America:

· Branding
· Sponsorship Structure & Activation
· Budgets
· Business Management
· Ticket & Merchandise Sales
· Gameday Operations
· Marketing & Social Media
· Supporter Ownership

Widgets & Stone created an athletic identity with naming and logo design.

Creative Direction: Paul Rustand; Naming: Matt Greenwell, Paul Rustand; Design: Travis Hitchcock, Mark Slawson, Brad Dicharry.
