Nina Hale Looks to Little & Company to Update Brand Identity

February 07, 2017

MINNEAPOLIS  – Performance digital marketing agency Nina Hale unveiled its new brand identity Tuesday, launching a new website and updated brand visual system to help better represent the agency’s values­­ and performance-driven digital marketing services. Fellow Minneapolis-based design and branding agency, Little & Company, was selected to redesign the Nina Hale brand.

Little’s inspiration for the updated brand came from Nina Hale’s commitment to delivering the best digital performance possible for its clients. After conducting employee interviews, observing the agency in its day-to-day operations, and reviewing the brand’s existing mission, vision, and values, Little was able to design a new and sophisticated identity to match Nina Hale’s unique position in the digital marketplace.

Founded in 2005 by its namesake, Nina Hale has grown from a one-woman search agency to an employee-owned, Inc.-recognized Top Place to Work, with over 70 digital media specialists and a diverse client roster of local and national brands. Little, with its ample creative talent and strong reputation, was a perfect match to translate Nina Hale’s unique business style into a definite brand identity.

“It was the perfect time to evolve the agency’s identity to match the sophistication of the work we do every day. The new brand identity takes the best elements of Nina Hale’s legacy and elevates them to meet our expertise,” stated Nina Hale CEO Donna Robinson. “Little was truly an excellent partner throughout the re-branding process. We appreciate their perspective into our business and couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Joe Cecere, president of Little, said, “It’s a true honor when someone in your own industry chooses to work with you. Nina Hale has a thriving culture of growth and delivering results for their clients. It has been a pleasure to help them bring that energy to life in their brand identity.”

Design and development work for the new ninahale.com was completed by Minneapolis creative agency Electric Advertising with technical and content SEO recommendations from Nina Hale.

About Nina Hale

In 2005 Nina Hale was started by figuring out the correlation between what users typed into their search bars and what results they found. In the years since, the agency has grown and expanded its service offerings, while maintaining a passion for search marketing. Why? Because search starts with data, and allows marketers to look at the numbers to figure out the patterns that represent consumer behavior; it’s a sneak preview to how people think about their lives, their devices, and the products and services they encounter. In the first 6 months of 2016, Nina Hale was recognized on four different occasions as a best workplace – including one of Inc. Magazine’s top places to work nationwide. Most recently, the Content Marketing Institute awarded Nina Hale with the Best Content Strategy of 2016.
