Matchstic is proud to announce our inaugural “On The House” campaign, providing one deserving non-profit in Atlanta with an entire brand makeover.

Last year, we helped provide City Church Eastside with a Brand Identity, Website, and Print Collateral pieces as they launched their new church.

This year, we wanted to see how we could provide an even greater impact, so we talked with some friends of ours and were blown away at everyone’s commitment to the cause.  We are so blessed to be joined by some of the best in the business. Here is a breakdown of our partners and the services they are donating.

Your very own Matchstic team will be donating a Brand Identity makeover, including logo developement, website design, and print design, valued at $30,000.

Ries & Ries:  Al Ries & Laura Ries are normally consulting for companies like Microsoft, Ford, and Disney.  We are privileged to have them donate a 1/2 day brand strategy session, valued at $15,000.

Visual23:  This interactive development studio is donating their award winning web development services, valued at $10,000.

Standard Press: Our favorite printers in the world will be providing printing services, valued at $10,000.

SeeSparkGo: This Public Relations firm will be providing Public Relations coaching and copywriting, valued at $10,000.

A Bryan Photo: This photography studio will be donating a photoshoot, valued at $5,000.

Carlton Fields: Michael C. Fletcher, from the law firm of Carlton Fields, will be providing Trademark Counseling, valued at $3,500.

The grand total of all of these services is $83,500!!!

We couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity and hope that you will help us spread the word to those organizations that are doing great things in Atlanta and could really use a break like this.

"Hi Craig,
Giving away free makeovers!!!! Perhaps going international might be an idea!????
I have Josh Hausen and his dad staying with us and Josh as dragged me into Blogging. So to get an idea I'm reading your's, Bryan's and Donald Miller's! Not sure why he threw any the unknown last guy.....
Pray for you a couple of times a month and hopefully when we're next in Alabama you can drive up and hang out one evening.

Take care,
Oh and hurry up and get wealthy so you can support us!
