Ride & Fly Trails

Development of a new system of “ATL Gateway” trails around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, including design for this new trail marker system for MTB Atlanta.

Imagine flying into the world’s busiest airport, and within minutes, hiking, jogging or biking away on trails surrounded by old growth oak, large rock formations and small streams—all without ever getting in a car. That’s the vision of MTB Atlanta’s Ride and Fly MTB Experience.

The ATL Airport Chamber

After completing a competitive analysis for the Airport Area Chamber of Commerce, it was quickly decided they needed a full rebrand. So, Ethic started with a new name; the ATL Airport Chamber was born. Next on the agenda was a new logo, replacing their existing brand that literally looked like a plane was falling from the sky. Soon after came a new tagline, mission & vision statements, and copy to be placed into their new website and marketing material, also being developed by the Ethic.

Opus

Ethic was approached by Global Excel, a full-service company in Canada providing cost containment, claims management, and medical assistance. Their goal for us was to develop a brand from the ground up for their maiden launch into the U.S. market, including market analysis, naming, logo design, brand development, and core messaging.


Our principal challenge was to reach both the Insurer and the Insured, and we did so with copy, colors, marketing materials, and imagery that are straightforward, easy to understand, and personable. What began as an assortment of ideas and values ultimately converged into a striking brand that delivers compelling results and, like the company itself, helps to move healthcare forward.


We undertook extensive research and dozens of name-storming sessions to land on Opus MedStrategies, a name that calls forth a vast body of work, meticulously produced.


The name Opus speaks to the breadth of services they offer, a full score of cost containment solutions and data-driven insights that support informed decision making for the payer, provider, and patient. Far from being a one-note company, Opus’ oeuvre demonstrates their ability to transform and simplify access to healthcare.


The Opus story is transformative and comprehensive, so we focused on finding unexpected ways to evoke transparency, access, evolution, and integrity.
