Case Study:
Mpact

How might we rebrand a transit-oriented organization for growth?

Mpact is a nationwide network of industry leaders and advocates focused on transit, mobility, land use, and development solutions that work for all people and communities. To share this vision more effectively, Olio repositioned their brand to center on themes of better lives and brighter futures.

Learn

To understand all the ways that Mpact’s member organizations impact communities, we looked expansively at transit systems, mobility programs, and examples of inclusive, equitable land use and development across the globe. These experiences expanded our knowledge of the field, and provided unique context for exploring value propositions and brand positioning strategies.

Strategize

In collaboration with stakeholders from Mpact’s National Steering Committee, Olio facilitated a brand personality workshop to ideate solutions for evolving the organization’s brand tone and voice. This visioning session also allowed us to gain alignment and build momentum with a diverse, multi-faceted group of voices that would eventually become ambassadors for launching the new brand.

Activate

Mpact’s brand strategy is anchored in the pursuit to build communities that work for all people. The brand voice, visual identity, and key messages are inspired by the places where we live, work and play, and the belief that these spaces are full of possibilities hidden in plain sight. The brand was revealed to an audience of more than one thousand mobility leaders, practitioners and advocates, at Mpact’s national conference.

Results

“Looking forward, this transition will enable us to expand our reach to new stakeholders. It helps us to create a more inclusive movement. And it better prepares us to meet today’s challenges of building transit-oriented communities that work for people and our planet.”
