CHALLENGE

Pitkin County needs to communicate to 18,000 residents, as well as all employers/employees in the county about the everchanging COVID-19 guidelines/restrictions as well as vaccinations.

SOLUTION

Starting in July 2020, MC has brought leadership and support to the team with strategic planning and advising, communication material audit, campaign and messaging development, operational analysis, and personnel management. 

RESULT

The result is clear internal processes to produce strategic communications at breakneck speeds resulting in a 350% bump in website traffic, 55% increase in newsletter subscribers, and dramatic expansion of messaging visibility via print/digital/social media. 

CHALLENGE

The A2PCCC is a cross-sector coalition of leaders from Aspen to Parachute. Their goal was to achieve a complete 2020 Census count in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys.

SOLUTION

MC worked with 12 government offices, 200+ organizations, businesses and media to plan/execute a comprehensive outreach and educational campaign that deliver thousands of impressions to 80,000 people from Aspen to Parachute. This included a focus on historically undercounted populations like the Latinx/Hispanic community, young kids, seniors and seasonal workers.

RESULT

7 out of 9 cities/towns from Aspen to Parachute exceeded their 2010 self-response rates by up to 7%.

CHALLENGE

The City of Aspen spent almost two year crafting SHIFT, a three-month initiative offering numerous types of alternative mobility options to reduce traffic congestion. They needed input and buy-in from the community to inform the planning process and help support it being passed by city council.

SOLUTION

MC crafted a two-month, valley-wide outreach effort to:

• Listen to/solicit feedback from Roaring Fork Valley residents

• Understand public sentiment towards this initiative

• Educate/inform

The strategic plan included one-on-one interviews, small group meetings, and online surveys. In addition we envisioned and produced an ice cream trike that was the cornerstone for a host of pop-up events from Glenwood Springs to Aspen that piggybacked on existing community happening like concerts, farmer’s markets and more.

RESULT

The outreach plan resulted in feedback from 509 surveys and 53 interviews, representing a diverse group of individuals from New Castle to Aspen. The community input was sent to City Council and has been influential in refining the design and implementation strategy for the SHIFT initiative. It has also highlighted some widely-held community perspectives that the City is now addressing in various ways.

CHALLENGE

Krimson Klover, a women’s clothing company out of Boulder, Colorado launched into the competitive apparel industry in 2009.

SOLUTION

Develop a brand powerful enough to steal market share from behemoth brands like Prana. MC accomplished this through a broad spectrum of  work including strategic planning, marketing plan creation and execution, trade show management, collateral and collection catalog development, art direction of photo shoots and graphic design, PR team oversight, social and digital team management and more.

RESULT

Over the course of almost ten years of working with MC, the start-up is now a nationally known brand distributed in over 500+ stores across the country and Canada, and has a solid online e-commerce presence.

CHALLENGE

Two small real estate firms merged to create a new, unknown boutique brokerage firm (Stirling Peak Properties) in one of the most saturated markets in the United States.

SOLUTION

MC completed their rebrand and directed the marketing/communications in order to own a small niche market as well as compete with national and international firms.

RESULT

All marketing efforts brought about a flurry of engagement from clients, friends and colleagues in Aspen. It garnered such positive results that it attracted the attention of Douglas Elliman, the fourth largest firm in the United States, who acquired Stirling Peak Properties.
