Founded in 1873, Coconut Grove is Miami’s oldest neighborhood—a verdant, tropical village perched on the shores of Biscayne Bay, it has long been a haven for the eclectic, artsy and bohemian set.

We were tasked by the Coconut Grove community leaders to bring the Grove brand to life through a series of initiatives, beginning with a new online presence at coconutgrove.com. Starting with a new logo, we also crafted a signage refresh throughout the district, new streetscape window clings, a mass-media campaign and an integrated event marketing plan to bring all the disparate activities of the Business Improvement District together.

Coconut Grove remains one of the most unique settings in all of Florida and is the oasis of tranquility in the midst of a great bustling city. It’s not far away, but just far enough. And so we created “The Nearby Republic of Coconut Grove,” a simple way to describe the state of mind of this special place.
