Burke

RowCom Burke Logo@2xFor 40 years, the Burke Center was perhaps the best kept secret in East Texas. Having served as the region’s community provider of mental health, developmental disability and early childhood intervention services, the organization wanted to prepare for change in the health care market and become East Texans’ first choice when they need help. That meant a new brand identity, new language, a new website and a new approach to communication.

The Catalyst Project

Catalyst Project LogoLaunched in 2008, The Catalyst Project urged Texas lawmakers to support the clean energy industry in the 2009 state legislature. The project’s deliverable, a white-paper culled from two dozen interviews with clean energy and economic development experts, helped set the tone at the Capitol and according to some insiders stood as the best articulation of Texas’ catbird position as the clean energy capital of the United States.
