“The last few years at Hiker have seen extraordinary growth in our strategic work, including the complex, rewarding process of renaming organizations. This renaming project for a leading education nonprofit is where we invented materials we now use regularly: a rubric that quantifies decisions about names and logos into numerical scores, a proprietary naming spectrum that segments industries based on name type and unlocks opportunity in branding, and a process of presentation that advocates with passion for multiple options. The work of renaming and rebranding reflect how we approach most everything we do here: with passion, curiosity, and a very strong orientation to getting it right. ”

“What made this project so joyous and creatively satisfying was a freedom to execute the idea the way I envisioned it in my mind. I still very much value the trust and freedom that comes from long term client relationships or conscious clients cause creative freedom is in general the space where magic happens. Quick brainstorm, production, and ultrafast turnaround with no hiccups. I love that Hiker and our fabulous team can put together something so nice in extremely short amount of time ad have fun during the process. ”

“ As much as it was a challenge combining 3 sites with different audiences into 1 multi-tasking website, it was such a joy to work on this project because the client gave Hiker a lot of creative freedom. Thinking of cool ways to include parallax and micro animations to bring the site to life was exciting and the team is so proud of not only with how wonderfully the final product came out, but also with how well it has been performing since launch.”

“I love documentary because it can take you to some really unexpected places. For Verizon, we found stories that brought emotion to their tech-focused network. When we discovered this incredible network of rescuers, we knew we were on to something special. And when I met Wicket, my heart melted.”

“I love projects that utilize new techniques and technologies. Collaborating with the many creative people at Hiker keeps me growing as an artist, but sometimes a project makes me grow as a person as well. I loved working on the Lead Video for the new Year Up website. The stories the kids told and the work that the organization is doing moved me beyond words”

Leading the analytics and spending for Paradigm for Parity’s LinkedIn grant offered all of us a way to pressure test how content marketing can function within a paid space. From webinars to thought leadership to video, we used the range of Hiker’s creative vision against a thoughtful plan that we kept adapting to changing circumstances.

“Going into this project, we were cautioned by our client that key stakeholders were resistant to a rebrand and that the chances of winning them over with a new logo design were slim. Despite that – or perhaps because of it – our design team came up with multiple thoughtful, inspired logomark concepts that captured the mission and values of the organization. Our determination paid off in a brand new logo – one both we and FJC are proud of.”

“A hybrid live-action & FX project we made for Buffalo Jeans starring artist painter David Bitton. An awesome project to be a part of that let me be an animator with some mad-scientist freedom as an artist. Lots of animation challenges to make something organic yet feel in control of and I felt this piece hit a lot of the notes that mattered.”
