Our Approach

Our process began with research into the existing Wheeler School brand to help determine how the new identity can mirror its scholastic counterpart while standing out as a nurturing and immersive academic experience. We conducted a competitive analysis of camps in their area and were able to pinpoint the key features that made The Nest a standout.

The Result

With a fresh and engaging brand, The Nest at Wheeler is able to compete on a high level with other camps and support all of their print, digital, and social marketing and communication needs.

Their new WordPress site features flexible page templates that are easily be customizable to support various content types throughout the site. Leveraging the latest WordPress technology with a mix of Elementor Page Builder blocks ensures the longevity of the site while providing a pain-free editing experience that is easy for even the most non-tech savvy users.
