Chelsea had the pleasure of presenting to students at Fenton High School today

Instructor: Bruce Burwitz

Before Ms. Chelsea Mills, owner of Behind Your Design in Fenton, came in to talk about branding and marketing for our company, I had no idea the importance of it and how essential it was for a company to thrive. Within the span of the class she taught us about branding and marketing. The first impression of the company is always key and it should be minimalistic but still show off our company in a unique way. Ms. Mills also showed us the significance of details, that something small can really change your perspective of a company. For example she showed us an ad that a hospital put on their elevator, it said “let today be the day to take the stairs”. They wanted to convey the importance of exercise, but this is located in a hospital and some people can’t walk and are in wheel chairs. It was not their intention, but it comes off that way. She also talked about the value of social media and media influencers. In this day and age, social media has taken over and is one of the best ways to promote Waybound. She made a suggestion to have someone dress up like a lumberjack and have them walk around and talk about Waybound during a trade show. All of these suggestions will take Waybound to the next level and will tremendously help us succeed and be able to make a profit. Thanks to Ms. Chelsea Mills, everyone in VEI will have the knowledge to brand and market Waybound and maybe even our own company in the future.

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.

Elevating the Tanglewood Brand At Behind Your Design, we believe good design should do more than just look pretty - it should connect, inform, and support the people it's made for. That’s why partnering with Tanglewood Assisted Living has been such a meaningful project for our team. As a trusted support system for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Tanglewood Assisted Living sought refreshed branding that reflected clarity, compassion, and consistency. We were honored to collaborate with them, creating a new logo and marketing materials to help bring their vision to life.
