“Best in Class” has a nice ring to it.

Our client informed us recently that our work for their three phase brand campaign has been touted as “Best in Class” by Disney Campaign Manager (formerly Hulu Ads).

The campaign was rolled out in three thematic phases – 1.) “Introduction” 2.)“Community Changes Everything” and 3.)“Change the Narrative of Fitness’ Impact on Women” - with a national media plan that included targeted airings across the Disney content eco-system.

The campaign included 3 days of shooting on-location, capturing multiple work-outs/classes with dozens of participating Burn members and post-production delivery of 15 different spots.

Here is a look at 3 of the spots featured on Hulu that were touted as “Best in Class.”

When it’s time to change, then it’s time to change.

Eleven years from inception in 2012, that time is now for Wheelhouse, as we simultaneously launch a more dynamic www.wheelhousemedia.tv - the primary showcase of our work as a content studio - and introduce a new brand identity.

Visitors to the site will find that new identity integrated throughout, in both literal form and stylistic influence. Designed by New Zealand native Elliot Wilks, the logo represents “creativity in motion.”

“From the vibrant colors to the flowing wordmark it embodies our ethos and how we approach each project. It can be interpreted as a signature, a heartbeat or something completely different”, said Wilks, who has been part of the Wheelhouse family – where he is affectionately known as “Kiwi” - since 2020.

“When we celebrated our ten-year anniversary with many of our friends, creative partners and business associates, it struck me that I couldn’t have imagined that we’d be where we are today” said CEO John Allred. “We were just a small group of friends who wanted to create great work and have fun together, while managing to make a living being true to who we are.”

“With the start of our second decade, we still feel the same, but we’ve evolved as a content studio and as a small business. Our new site and brand identity reflect this creative growth.”

This evolution will continue into 2024, when the studio moves to a new location in Charlotte, NC.

Shot on location at the Mint Museum in uptown Charlotte, the 23-24 City Edition uniform combines the team’s iconic teal color with mint and gold accents from recent City Edition uniforms that honor Charlotte’s history as home of the first U.S. Branch Mint and the Carolina Gold Rush of the early 1800s.
