CarHop — Logo and Brand Work

We worked with CarHop for a long time. How long? Well, since before we were ADwërks and they were CarHop. We helped them chose the name, created their logo, their jingle, their point-of-sale materials, website, and TV since the beginning. And for many years, their on-air spokesman The CarHop Guy was played by our very…

DGR Engineering — Rebrand

DGR Engineering consulted us for help with rebranding their company. The first item on the agenda? A name change. For 60 years they had been known as Dewild, Grant, Reckert and Associates, named after their founding partners. Since those names no longer had a connection or relevance to clients and the employee-owned engineering firm, we…

CorTrust Bank — Mortgage

As the mortgage market was heating up, CorTrust needed some fresh creative to stay in the battle. We responded with a pair of 15-second spots and a 30-second spot. All ran on television and digital and helped keep the CorTrust Mortgage team busy through the peak season. The only problem with this campaign? CorTrust likes…

Project Broccoli

When a member of the ADwërks Family had a big life-changing event, we all get involved. So when Tyler was trying to figure out how to propose to his long-time girlfriend Stacia, we brainstormed a few ways to help make the day special. The winning idea: a fake TV shoot for Downtown Sioux Falls! We…

Washington Pavilion — More Space Campaign

File this under “Oldie, but goodie.” When you were a kid, all it took to be a rocket-flying spaceman was a pasta strainer on your head, an empty cardboard box, and a little imagination. When the Washington Pavilion opened its Air and Space Exhibits at the Kirby Science Center, we knew a vintage-themed commercial reminding…

McDonald’s® — Mountain Man

Were not trying to brag, but we’d put this locally-produced (!!) spot for Cold Days, Hot Deals up against any national work out there. We made it back in 2007 and it ran for seven years. That’s a lot of burgers. Just sayin’.

Pioneer Bank — Check-Ching!

Who doesn’t love the sound of money? Check-Ching! When Pioneer Bank wanted to let their customers know how their high-tech bank with friendly local bankers could give their new customers checking accounts that paid them back, they needed a catchy new name for their checking accounts. Check-ching! We created this snazzy logo, some fun radio,…

Falls Park Farmers Market — Imported From Campaign

It’s all about locally grown produce. For many years the Falls Park Farmers Market has challenged us to get big impact with very small budget. One season, we created a series of print ads, animated internet banner ads, and email blasts to remind everyone that the produce they sell at the Market is all grown…

SculptureWalk — Arc of Dreams

To say Jim was involved in the Arc of Dreams project is a bit of an understatement. He was chair of the SculptureWalk board when the project started so it’s his signature on the original contract with creator/artist Dale Lamphere. Jim was involved in the fundraising, marketing, and messaging throughout the project. And just before…

CarHop — 2022 Point of Sale Posters

The posters in the CarHop stores were looking pretty dated and faded, so we worked with their internal team to create a whole new package with bright colors, smiling faces and fun new messages. Even their CEO said they looked great!
