Since 1984, SALT Light and Electric has been known for commercial and residential electrical services in Austin, Tx. After expanding to add HVAC services to the roster, SALT Light and Electric had to rethink their brand – that’s when they called ETHOS.
We got to work immediately to refresh their brand image. We started from the ground up, carefully scrutinizing and updating every facet of their brand: name, logo, photography, social media, email marketing, TV commercials, and direct mail. We completely overhauled their marketing and recruitment strategy as well as their advertising budget.
HVAC service launched fully booked through Q2. Averaging 120% capacity week over week.

THE HARD PART
Business owners are rightfully hesitant to start tweaking the business they’ve built from the ground up. So much hard work and rich history goes into building a business, and the last thing we want to do at ETHOS is erase that and start over. That’s why we use a different strategy when it comes to rebrands, and SALT is a perfect example of that.
The Challenge
The SALT name has a deep meaning and ETHOS wanted to protect that! Here is the story:
The name SALT has a connection with their mission statement and their belief in Christian values, but their brand didn’t. So we focused on bringing their mission statement “To Be The Salt & Light In The World” to life.
With that in mind, our creative team went to work. But instead of changing the brand completely, we evolved it!

RECRUITMENT MARKETING
