Riveter Design

From protecting your place at the table to serving up a billion-jar vision, Giovanni Foods knows exactly who they are! 🍝 We were thrilled when they asked us to transform their powerful core values into visual storytelling through this poster series. These aren't just words on a wall – they're the daily ingredients that make Giovanni Foods extraordinary. As the company embarks on an exciting new chapter of growth and operational excellence, these values will serve as their north star, guiding every decision and interaction. Each poster captures the essence of a team that's passionate about quality, committed to growth, and deeply rooted in family values. It's been incredible helping Giovanni Foods bring their internal vision to life as they strengthen their foundation for the future.

🎬 Tonight marks the sold-out premiere of My Brother Lost in Time: A Bipolar Life. Riveter was honored to work alongside producer Dan Lukasik and Susan Kirkpatrick to develop the branding and support the promotion for this impactful event. The film champions mental health awareness for those living with illness and for those in support roles. Following the screening, a panel of mental health experts will lead a discussion. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of #mentalhealth and engage in meaningful conversations. If you missed the premiere, a second showing of the film, including a panel discussion, will be held on November 17 at North Park Theatre. Reserve your free tickets here: https://lnkd.in/dAJwyyp6

When I reopened Kirkpatrick Communications in January, I was delighted to immediately hear from Lauren Molenda with an invitation to join the Riveter Design team on the Reach East Marketing Accelerator project. Given our past partnership on the StoryGrowing program that Reach East was modeled on, while I was at The John R. Oishei Foundation, it was a natural fit! It has been an amazing experience to build and manage the marketing capacity building program for East Side small businesses and entrepreneurs! We were so fortunate to work with highly talented marketing professionals including 💻 Arba Cooper - Digital Technologist (VisionDoers), Kenyana David, MBA, DBA(c), Aitina Fareed-Cooke, Mercedes Wilson, Lindsay Hyatt, Adriana Viverette, MBA Danielle E. Burruss, Zandra A. Cunningham, who not only brought their expertise to our teams but their commitment to the growth and success of the 8 small businesses participating! And congratulations to Radah Baked Goods, Salud Market, Henri Star Muhammad, OFA Construction, @Girl Gang Entertainment, @Created to Create, @Heartfelt Construction, Our Family Daycare! And thank you to Riveter, the The Foundry and The Exchange at Beverly Gray for an opportunity to create something great together!

On Friday night, Jordan Hegyi and Dana Heider attended the opening reception of "The Greater Good" at Nazareth University. The exhibition showcased graphic works that have made a meaningful impact on social issues, including Riveter's client projects for the SPCA Serving Erie County, Springboard, Reach East Marketing Accelerator, and East Side Avenues. We were thrilled to see Tafari the Extraordinary Lion, a children's book illustrated by our very own Dana Heider also featured in the show! 👏🏽 It was an inspiring evening sharing our clients’ missions with a new audience and admiring the powerful, beautiful work created by others.

The Marilla Country Cape is an adorably charming Cape Cod-style vacation rental, recently opened by Sandy Gingerich Grunzweig and nestled next to the iconic Marilla Country Store in Marilla. Its visual identity complements the Marilla Country Store's brand while embracing the tranquil appeal of the Cape’s modern farmhouse aesthetic. The new brand captures the welcoming spirit of Marilla and highlights the attractions of Western New York, encouraging visitors to shop, stay, and immerse themselves in the charm of our region. Krista Roberts crafted a cohesive brand using the same font family, a complementary palette of soothing blues, and then encompassed it all within a farmhouse-inspired shape to create an "All are welcome home!" vibe. 🏠

Zak brought one of our all time favorite logos to life! 🧡

Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting the AAF Buffalo Women in Advertising event as part of Ad Month. It was incredible to see our space come alive with new and familiar faces. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening! A special shoutout to our amazing panelists 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Lauren Molenda, Chrissy Pyne, Amy Pecoraro, and Andalyn Courtney. Your insights were invaluable, and we left inspired, armed with new strategies and perspectives. Here are a few of our top takeaways from the night.

Last week, our team had the honor of attending the PRSA Buffalo Niagara 34th Annual Excalibur Awards, celebrating excellence in communications. We proudly stepped out of our comfort zone to enter the Springboard campaign—and were thrilled to take home a Silver Award in the Integrated Communications category! 🎊 While this award is an incredible achievement, the campaign itself had many highlights worth celebrating. The first round of Springboard, launched in Rochester, exceeded all expectations. We received 131 applications and awarded 10 prizes, totaling $222,500, with more to follow in rounds two and three. Our success was made possible through a dynamic partnership with Dixon Schwabl + Company, a Rochester-based agency. Together, we created a strategic marketing plan and implemented promotional activities. The energetic Springboard brand extended through all tactics. It’s truly gratifying to see the hard work behind this project recognized. As we wrap up the third and final round this month, we couldn’t be prouder of the campaign’s success and its positive impact on our regional economy!
