Background: Our team was approached by Bolton Academy to develop a line of apparel that would ignite school pride and foster a sense of community among students, faculty, and community.
Objective: The primary goal was to create a staff shirt that captured the essence of Bolton’s culture while promoting climate enthusiasm in the building and a sense of staff pride in the community.
Approach:
1. We began by conducting extensive discovery of Principal Mincey’s vision, desired outcomes, purpose and existing branding to ensure our designs aligned seamlessly with the institution's ethos.
2. Collaborating closely with our artist, we gathered feedback and insights to inform the creative direction of the project.
3. Our design team crafted a diverse collection of art concept’s themes, each featuring unique graphics, slogans, and color schemes inspired by Bolton’s heritage and spirit.
Implementation:
1. Through a series of design iterations and presentations, we fine-tuned the design to capture the vision of the message in a simple way.
2. Leveraging sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing practices, we ensured that each garment not only celebrated school pride but also upheld environmental and social responsibility.
Results:
1. The shirt received overwhelmingly positive feedback from Principal Mincey, expressing pride in wearing garments that encapsulated the spirit of Bolton’s climate and culture.
2. The staff picture was published on the school website and may be selectively posted on social media assets.
3. This shirt project fosters a noticeable increase in school spirit and engagement, as evidenced by the group picture.
4. Staff, parents and students loved the I 
Bolton design so much that it was adopted for the 5th grade t-shirt design as well with a different shirt color.
Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce has earned it's Five- Star Accreditation, the highest designation achievable by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce has earned the distinguished ACCE “Chamber Of The Year” among chambers internationally.
Our team was commissioned to provide a recognition solution targeting organization, executive board, chamber champions, business leaders, Gwinnett County elected officials. We worked closely with CEO Nick Masino and SVP of Marketing & Communications Lisa Sherman to develop a coveted and meaningful recognition to capture this milestone making the intangible, tangible.
Recognition targeting such a broad scale of recipients can be rather challenging considering display space, type of awards, perceived value and more.
In collaboration with the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce team, CSI built the concept and delivered a championship ring as the solution to make this coveted recognition tangible for all recipients.

The Mission: The goal of this project was to translate appreciation to each school bus driver for the incredible job of transporting students safely to and from home and school each day. There are 2,000 bus drivers so finding a meaningful, customized recognition with a limited budget posed the first concern. Second concern was the timeline to distribute for Bus Driver Appreciation.
Our Solution: Find the right branding tool(s) that represents what they do in driving the students safely; present a quality item(s) that will be durable through their work, day after day; create a special acknowledgement that reflects who they are, caring drivers who impact every student, every day as their first impression and the last memory of the school day.
A personal card from the team, a die-cast school bus keychain with a unique propelling spring forward and a durable, plastic version of America’s favorite Solo cup with lid in school bus yellow to the rescue!

Campaign Mission: The goal of this project was to foster a sense of associate appreciation as well as encourage sustainable desired behaviors among the drivers and distribution associates. Designing any associate appreciation project evolves around the product solutions that offer the best utility in the daily organizational functions of the organization and discovery of the culture, climate, values and any relevant themes, symbolism, and milestones.
Our Solution: We surveyed people in similar job descriptions for insights on what product solutions align with their tasks and assignments. Working closely with the client leadership team, we identified product solutions which worked well with work/life balance and fostered a positive message when used at home. The result was a keepsake which serves as an emblematic token of the transportation experience; a blanket which perhaps conveys the warmth it makes the associate feel about the organization: and a unique hot/cold tumbler and premium cooler for daily drivetime use.
The feedback we received from our client was that ALL product solutions well received – priceless!!
Challenge: ANZ wanted to bolster a thriving mortgage division by building goodwill and enhancing customer retention by rewarding mortgage customers with a gift. Criteria included affordability, security, usefulness, and ease of shipping.
Solution: ReturnMe’s keytags provided a perfect match for the challenge by being pertinent to home ownership and by providing a useful lost and found service to its valuable customers.
Benefits: Customers received a purposeful gift that was personalized and demonstrated a level of care that strengthened the bank/customer relationship.
Results: Customers were so thrilled and ANZ equally as happy with the results that the tags have been reordered for three consecutive years.
