OVERVIEW

As Hargrove Association Insights (HAI) expanded its capabilities and deepened its role as a strategic partner to associations, its brand no longer reflected the level of expertise it delivered.

HAI turned to The Studio by Navigate (TSN) to evolve its brand presence, clarify its messaging, and ensure its identity matched its work.
