I restructured Blue Albatross Media to build something Ohio doesn't have yet.
Here's the story. And the bet I made. — Ohio has 28 Fortune 500 companies. A
$63.3 billion creative economy. 132,000 people working in creative industries. And no world-class creative consulting agency built specifically for this market.
The agencies that do work at that level are in San Francisco, New York, and London. They're excellent. They're also expensive, removed from Ohio's market realities, and too big for you to matter to them.
That gap kept me up at night for years.
Today, I'm announcing the NEW Blue Albatross Media. Ohios #1 Architectural Authority agency headquartered in West Chester, Ohio.
We specialize in five industries where Ohio's
economy is growing fastest: → Healthcare UX and patient experience design →
Financial services brand strategy → Manufacturing brand modernization → Startup and venture brand identity → ESG and sustainability communications.
We benchmark our work against IDEO, Frog, Wolff Olins, Pentagram, and McKinsey Design. International work but at Ohio rates.
The name matters to me. An albatross can fly 10,000 miles without landing. It's the most efficient flyer in the animal kingdom; with a massive wingspan, almost no energy expenditure at cruising altitude.
That's what a great brand does. Built right, it works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without ever asking for a day off. If you're building something in Ohio; a health system, a bank, a manufacturer, a startup, a company that cares about the future —
I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Reply "tell me more" and I'll share what we do next.
Or just follow along. This is going to be a great story.
