Relevant and timeless content is invaluable when developing a brand. 4x3 develops custom, fully functional sites to manage content in a SEO-friendly and organized manner.

Developing Arizona Opera

In 2014, Arizona Opera was looking to upgrade its web presence and reorganize the large amount of content on its website. 4x3 partnered with Cause Design on the redesign, redevlopment and rearchitecture of azopera.org. The Arizona Opera website required an organized way to publish and manage everything from news and press releases to performances and events. 

4x3 was up for the challenge!

4x3 developed a full site rebuild in Drupal, creating an inviting, user-friendly website for the opera's many visitors and stakeholders. We also integrated custom Drupal modules and and intelligent navigation tools to ease the burden of updates for this content-rich website and enhance the functionality of the site.

AGA Developers: Branding Case Study

Beyond just a memorable logo, 4x3 has worked with AGA Developers to create a recognizable brand. By analyzing several aspects of AGA's brand we were able to create a case study highlighting the features of the company which fulfilled the 5 necessary components of a brand.

1. Improves Recognition

The recognizable logo and style allows AGA Developers to create a powerful reputation by associating their hard work and popular projects with their brand. This is why each of their sub-brands (South Square, Frankford Square and Trenton Stables) have gained recognition through the connection to their well-developed and professional parent brand.

2. Creates Trust

The AGA brands allows you to transfer the same feeling of loyalty and trust that the other sub-brands command. When customers see a new development with AGA's parent brand on the side they know they will have the same old-fashioned craftsmanship and contemporary designs associated with all the successful projects they have completed in the past.  

3. Supports Advertising

Through traditional media and social media, AGA publicizes properties and developments that they are building or selling, respectively. Each sub-brand – South SquareFrankford Square and Trenton Stables – is marketed directly through the parent brand's social media.

4. Builds Financial Value

A strong brand usually guarantees future business. As AGA grows and develops more properties its brand continues to gain better the financial return from its efforts.

5. Generates New Customers

AGA has built up a powerful reputation for building contemporary townhouses throughout Philadelphia's neighborhoods and satisfied home-buyers are one of today's the most profitable advertising source.
