AVOKE
A lifestyle brand for the seekers of this beautiful world, this startup is positioning itself to usher in a mindful, community-based approach to online health and wellness.
Our goal was to create a brand identity design that elicits a sense of wonder and reflects the natural human yearning toward being our best selves.
Work included group brand identification sessions, logo development, and the creation of branded assets including textures and artwork.
St. Regis Travel Center
This iconic Western Montana business has been in the family since 1962 and is known worldwide for their huckleberry shakes and trout aquarium. The current owners were ready to update the look of their entire operation, and they had a deep commitment to taking a modern, artful approach.
We worked with them to deliver a brand identity that began their transformation, remodel, and expansion. We created their logo, and custom interior and exterior signage, packaging, cafe to go items for coffee and ice cream, uniforms, shopping bags, billboards...the end goal for St. Regis Travel Center is to have a cohesive brand, and they’re well on their way.
Montana Brewers Association
Montana is known for so many spectacular things, and beer is often counted at the top of the list. Our home state boasts an incredible number of breweries, and the MBA represents the growing community of small breweries operating throughout the state of Montana. They hold a special place in our hearts as our very first client and continue to trust us with their image and events.
After years of using a logo that felt out of date, the MBA decided it was time to modernize their look. The goal was not to compete with all the amazing brewery logos already in play, but to create an iconic patch look with the elements that unify all Montana-made beer.
In addition to their brand refresh, Bonfire has handled event management and promotion, city and state event permitting, volunteer recruitment and management, database management, website management, communications, marketing plans, design of all event materials and branded merchandise.
KELIGREEN
Keli Lake, a cleaning and personal care products maven, had gotten her company far on its old branding, but it was time for both the products and founder, Keli, to step into the future of what her company could be.
We got into Keli’s head, learned about her truth, her why. It was compelling! She wanted her logo to represent the importance and omnipresence of clean water. Her incredible personal journey and brand story brought forth the wisdom in the power of nature, and just like Keli’s earth friendly and effective products, her look defines her.
Our work included logo design, package design, business consulting, marketing plan, and social media consulting.
“I needed to rebrand and I needed professionals. Bonfire has its finger on the beat of both popular culture and value-based businesses. I have a particular aesthetic which sometimes makes it difficult for designers. I felt heard and came through the process with a friendship, partner and kickass design. ”
Big Sky Documentary Film Festival
This epic Montana festival has been life-changing on so many levels for so many people. It’s the festival where some of the biggest names in documentary filmmaking get to mingle with everyday Missoulians, and where people starting out in filmmaking are seen, appreciated, and heard. Challenging topics are brought to life through sometimes mind-bending, sometimes joyful, a little bit heart breaking and always revolutionary films.
We’ve worked with BSDFF since 2013 on building their visibility and following, strategizing on their approach to social media, introducing new ways of engaging on social, customer and filmmaker experience, sponsorships, incorporating zero waste principals, and we created their very successful influencer program. In fact, last year the festival saw a 17% increase in attendance, which they credited in no small part to our work.
Over the years we’ve done everything from selling tickets and helping manage venues during the event, to assisting press and lining up photographers. We’ve mostly just cleared the path for them to be the best of what they are- game changers, visionaries, heart-led, and community focused.
R&R Roofing Specialties
Ryan Rees is a roofing machine who has built his business through hard work along with a deep dedication to roofing as a craft. He’s made a good name for himself and wanted to build a brand around his success.
We worked with Ryan to develop his brand identity through his logo, fleet vehicle customization, business cards and branded photography. After this, our team built his website and source merchandise for his incredible roofing team and family.
Ryan and his team are booked out for months, but we still recommend you give him a call and tell him we sent you. Ryan is an incredible guy who takes care of his clients. Truth be told, one of us has a R&R Roofing Specialties roof! It’s gorgeous!
Tandem Doughnuts
This vegan and gluten-free bakery was in need of a website that could showcase their sought-after products in a delicious way, easily share their latest news, and entice customers with new options for online ordering.
When Tandem received grant money as part of Montana’s COVID relief effort, they partnered with us to put the money to work and pivot their business from in-person to online processes.
The first step was a new website. Our team worked alongside the business owners to establish look and feel, create rules and automation for ecommerce, and launch the new website in time for their holiday menu.
The results? A 75% increase in web traffic year over year and a new source of revenue through online ordering.
