RMEF connects its brand with a new generation of conservationists.
Shine United is thrilled to announce the launch of a new website for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF).
The new RMEF website is part of a creative overhaul for the not-for-profit conservation organization that seeks to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and the American hunting heritage. Most recently, Shine revealed an updated logo along with a new brand identity for the RMEF. The logo and identity give the brand a more contemporary look and feel – which ultimately will more effectively connect with a new generation of conservationists.
"From a brand positioning standpoint, the new site is a better reflection of who the RMEF is today. More importantly, however, the site's advanced functionality will more effectively connect individuals to the RMEF – allowing it to continue to be a leader in conservation and the outdoor industry," said Chris Sprangers, Shine's Director of Outdoor Brands. "This will be a game changer. As an elk hunter and RMEF member, it's exciting to see such a storied brand continue to push forward."
Since its inception in 2001, Shine United has been revered for its bold brand evolutions, innovative marketing strategies and breakthrough creative executions. Shine has received much acclaim for its work for outdoor brands, as well as work done in the healthcare, active sport and food and restaurant categories. Shine’s portfolio includes work for Harley-Davidson, Mizuno Running, UW Health, Big Ass Fans and Amazon.com.
"The site looks absolutely outstanding and represents a great leap forward for RMEF and our work," said Kyle Weaver, Chief Executive Officer at RMEF.
"As a group of outdoor enthusiasts, it is extremely rewarding for Shine United to be able to work with clients committed to the conservation of our natural resources and wildlife habitat," said Mike Kriefski, Shine United's President and Executive Creative Director. "As a hunter, outdoorsman and RMEF member, I could not be prouder of our partnership with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation."
