Introducing the New Communication Partners, Inc. (CPI) Brand

We’re approaching our 50th year as a communications company and we think that’s something to celebrate! But first, we need some new party clothes. Cue our gorgeous rebrand.

We’ve Got a New Look!

We’re all about innovation—in fact, it’s one of our core values. To us, it’s more than just a word on paper; it’s the forward-thinking, creative spirit we bring to everything we do. As we’ve evolved as a company, we think this is the perfect time for our logo to reflect who we are today.

Out with the old

Our old logo served us well. With a ring of speech bubbles within our name, it did its job of communicating who we are: a trusted communications partner. But we’ve grown into so much more than that, and now we’re making the change to show it.

After careful consideration, we moved our image in a fresh, modern direction. Although we have updated our entire brand identity, we wanted to carry forward a piece of our old logo as a reminder of our roots. You can see our redesigned speech bubble hiding in the center of our new logo.

And in with the new

As a creative communications company, we are always looking for ways to streamline our messaging—to apply more meaning with fewer words and break down complex concepts into easily understandable content. With this in mind, we conducted extensive studies to find the most concise, meaningful representation of our brand and imagery. Color analysis, typography, message development, and logo studies were presented and refined until we established the final product.

Color

Color plays a significant role in any design. We developed several palette samples to find the one that represents the feelings we wish to inspire when viewing our logo. After careful review, we landed on a vibrant, friendly palette. It’s a perfect fit.

Message

Next, we refined our brand messaging to embody our core values and culture. We used an all-hands-on-deck approach to ensure our entire team was involved in the creation and selection of our new look and feel. Our updated message now captures the entirety of the CPI team and better communicates who we are and what we do.

Logo

Our new logo is beautiful, compact, dynamic, and scalable. We incorporate a simplified orange speech bubble at the heart of a blue C, allowing the negative space to define the letter P. The company name is presented using a clean, sans serif font and shown justified and stacked. We’re thrilled with the result!

How Did We Do It? The Brand Discovery Process

  1. Define the company
    Clearly identify what the company stands for. For us, a good place to start was the company’s business strategy. Once we established our company’s goals, all brand decisions were easily made and aligned with the vision of our future.
  2. Identify the clients
    Create a focus group to discuss current and ideal clients. We spent time defining who we are working for to better address our clients’ needs. We committed to a narrow focus to produce more meaningful results.
  3. Develop a brand identity and message
    Collaborate as a team to discover your core values, mission statement, and differentiators. We asked ourselves, what do we want our brand to convey? We updated our written and visual messaging to match our story, tone, and voice.
  4. Design and apply the logo
    Research and analyze color, font, and graphics options. We developed or updated all internal and public-facing materials, such as website, blogs, social media, marketing materials, email signatures, business cards, signage, etc.
  5. Create a brand guide
    Develop a set of brand-specific rules and guidelines. This roadmap will ensure consistency of our internal and external brand usage.

We’re Ready for the Future

The past 50 years has established us as a leader in our industry. Our new brand showcases our commitment to innovation and progress, guiding us into the future in style. We’d love to hear what you think of our new look.

2023 Net Promoter Score

What Does This Mean?

Providing the highest level of hospitality is important to us. Surveys give us the feedback we need to continually meet this goal. We’re pretty proud of our Net Promoter Score (NPS). Here’s why:

What Is NPS?

NPS is based on the percentage of survey respondents who are promoters, passives, and detractors:

  • Promoter: Score of 9 or 10
  • Passive: Score of 7 or 8
  • Detractor: Score of 0 to 6

Scores range from -100 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the percentage of promoters versus detractors.

What Is a Good NPS?*

Above 0: Good
Above 20: Favorable
Above 50: Excellent
Above 80: World Class
