LevLane Welcomes Two New Clients
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS)
PHS was founded in 1827, and is said to be the oldest and largest horticultural society in America. Their mission: motivate people to improve quality of life and create a sense of community through horticulture. PHS produces and manages a variety of shows, competitions and programs, the most notable being the Philadelphia International Flower Show, held each winter at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. This year’s show attracted 265,000 visitors from around the world, and had an estimated economic impact of $61 million.
LevLane has been hired as the first marketing communications agency for PHS. We will lead an organization-wide rebranding effort, examine their concepts and programs, and recommend ways to expand their regional footprint via promotion and media.
The Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) for Energy Efficient Buildings
GPIC is a consortium of academic institutions, federal laboratories, global industry partners, regional economic development agencies and other stakeholders that joined forces to secure federal and state funding, and to establish an Energy Innovation Hub at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The funding will help foster national energy independence and create quality jobs for the region.
The goals of GPIC are to transform the building retrofit industry from serial fragmentation to integrated systems; to improve design tools, building systems, public policies, market incentives and workforce skills needed to achieve a 50 percent reduction in energy use in buildings; and to stimulate private investment and quality job creation in Greater Philadelphia and beyond.
LevLane has been retained to help address organizational identity issues, including the GPIC name, logo, and other branding considerations.

MINDING OUR ELDERS
LevLane has a finely honed understanding of and respect for seniors. How could we not? We’ve been talking with them one-on-one for over 20 years in order to build brands that move them…literally. From Connecticut to Chicago, we’ve picked the brains of retirees, to understand what compels them to abandon an established lifestyle and start afresh in a senior living community. Such insights have never been more precious, now that a precarious economy provides a ready-made excuse to stay put on familiar ground. So we dig – for pearls that when strewn through the creative will help turn the heads and hearts of our prospects toward a wonderful new beginning. It’s gratifying work – to elicit the stories, soak in the wisdom, learn what really matters when you’re 70, 80, 90 years old. And, we get a glimpse of what we would hope to have when we get there ourselves: something of value to share, if someone happened to ask.

We All Win When the Media and the Government Collaborate
On Friday, August 12, The Philadelphia Daily News introduced “Pick It Up,” the paper’s new campaign for a cleaner city. The front page story and two page spread not only made a call for action to Philadelphians to clean up their act. It did so without dissing the City’s—specifically The Street Department’s—focused efforts to fix the problem. Too many times when it comes to news reporting, it’s a gotcha mentality that drives the story. The government is wrong. The news guys are heroes for exposing the wrongs. Gotcha! Well, at least in this case, the DN joined with the Streets Department in a much needed initiative, even lauding the City’s UnLitter Us movement as “promising” and including the Deputy Mayor, the Streets Commissioner and the Deputy Streets Commissioner in the dialogue. The City’s effort and the paper’s effort are both strengthened by the collaboration. In the end, it’s us—the citizens of Philadelphia– that win. Kudos to all parties for avoiding the finger pointing and for putting the need to solve the litter problem at the center of the discussion.
