Case Studies
TRC Companies
TRC is a global consulting, engineering, and construction management firm that provides environmentally focused and digitally powered solutions. The firm had recently acquired a regional engineering firm with a strong presence in Virginia and North Carolina. The acquired firm, Draper Aden Associates, had a 50-year history in the region and high brand awareness. After the initial merger announcement, TRC recognized the need to reinforce its new presence and differentiators. The firm wanted to highlight the new services and tools now available while emphasizing a commitment to existing clients and communities.
Draper Aden Associates
Challenge: Draper Aden Associates, an engineering, surveying, and environmental services firm, had an impressive project list and lengthy roster of clients in Virginia, but had not gained earned media coverage in a number of years and was having trouble expanding its reach to the broader Mid-Atlantic region. The firm recognized the need to raise awareness in new markets about its powerful track record of success and growing services. Furthermore, the engineering sector was becoming increasingly competitive.
Virginia Tech Land Development and Design Initiative
Challenge: Virginia Tech Land Development and Design Initiative’s activities have been funded almost exclusively through annual corporate sponsorship. With financial support on the decline, LDDI’s leaders recognized the need to enhance the program’s reputation among the private land development community.
