Branding

Beam Team

If you've shopped at Best Buy or run an errand at Walgreens, you have seen their work. The Beam Team is the leading general contractor to America's biggest retail brands. They build out properties for the likes of Ace Hardware, Tropical Smoothie, McDonald's, and REI. Merton Way helped the company with its first strategic plan, then re-launched the brand, website, and sales enablement. But The Beam Team's skilled tradespeople are the rock stars "Building Legendary Brands."

The Ask

The Beam Team is a family-owned general contractor based in Alpharetta, GA. They approached Merton Way seeking a holistic approach to mission, vision and values. Prizing their people, the 35-year old construction company also wanted a long-range strategic plan and more sophisticated marketing.

Could Merton Way’s unique model of management consulting and digital branding be the answer?

The Work

The process got underway with a series of off-site Legacy Brand retreats. These executive and management sessions created alignment on goals, strategies and tactics. The organization also took an honest look at areas for improvement and gaps in its operations.

Market research, evaluating customer data and other homework started to pull all the pieces together.

The Win

With a strategic plan now in place, it was time to re-brand. The new tagline, “Building Legendary Brands,” seemed to author itself. This is a company serving America’s #1 brands in pharmacy, big box and consumer electronics. They truly are building the stores for the legends in U.S. retail.

Merton Way wrote and launched a new website, set up its marketing automation and established thoughtleadership programs with fresh content for decision-makers in QSR, hospitality, grocery and other key segments.

From strategy through execution, a legacy brand was reborn.

Visitors to 29 Palms are very different than those bound for Palm Springs. Both typically attract Californians. But their demographics could not be more different. Camo vs. cabanas. Beer vs. espresso martinis. 29 Palms needed to send a clear message of astonishing landscapes and an “old California” vibe.

Roasting in small batches, Gold Coffee sources from hand-selected farms and relies on the expertise of roast masters rather than automated equipment. Batch roasting gives Gold Coffee a distinct aromatic profile. The taste of each varietal is determined by the microclimate in which it is grown and the intensity of the roast. There's so many brands out there making claims. How do we share Gold's nuances with consumers?
