Native
American Business Photo Project
Client: U.S. Small Business Administration
Washington D.C.
AD PRO was selected by the SBA to undertake a historic
project - the establishment of an authentic photo bank of American
Indians in real business settnigs. Our team traveled
from corner to corner of the U.S. visiting both urban and
reservation based American indian owned businesses at their place of
business. These photos are now used by the SBA in their
outreach and educational materials regarding programs targeted at
Native America.
Customer
Service Incentive Program for Dealers
Client: American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Torrance, CA
Upon being awarded this design and internal incentive program
project from Honda, AD PRO researched the philosophy of
Soichiro Honda, company founder, who spoke of "heartfelt acts" on
behalf of customers. Using this platform the name of this
incentive program, Heartfelt Customer Care, was born. AD PRO
designed the logo at left,along with the program brochure, guide,
lapel pin and other collaterial materials. We assisted Honda's
internal dealer marketing team in the program launch at an annual
dealer show. AD PRO also designed a custom award plaque,
manufactured the plaque and coordinated the program deliverables to
dealers who met the award's criteria.

Three Updates - Corporate
Diversity Exhibit
Client: American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Torrance, CA
AD PRO is proud of our long-term relationship with American
Honda Motor Co., Inc and our work history on their corporate
supplier diversity exhibit. Pictured far left is our first
version of their display with dual "pop-up" exhibits. We then
developed a truss system, that can be easily updated providing a
dramatic/high-tech foundation for communicating and facilitating
interaction between Honda and conference attendees.
