The Approach
We turned MAX’s greatest strategic advantage – its connectivity – into its greatest advantage.
A distinctive identity, flexible visual system, and integrated campaign brought rail, road, water, air, and port connections together under one memorable brand. Multiple modes. One connected MAX.
The Results
The campaign created awareness among a very niche industry group, providing tangible leads for the APA sales team to work with for new business opportunities for the port. It also created a strong presence at industry-specific trade shows; the work was recognized with the ADPROBE™ Award from The Journal of Commerce for outstanding advertising performance.
