Rebuilding the mySidewalk Brand for Scalable Growth

The Situation

As mySidewalk expanded into new market verticals, its brand architecture became increasingly fragmented. The company’s mark, mission, and positioning had become overly technical, lacking a compelling strategic narrative that resonated across its diverse user base. The visual identity was also outdated, limiting its ability to communicate effectively with both broad and niche audiences.

To unlock sustainable growth, mySidewalk needed a stronger foundation—one that told a cohesive, inspiring story while also allowing for tailored messaging across its various user segments. The challenge was to create a brand system that could speak to the universal values of public service while supporting specific outcomes for different user groups.

The Solution

Over the course of two quarters, we executed a full-scale brand transformation:

• Refined the Strategic Narrative – Shifted the brand’s messaging to focus on universal public service outcomes, making it more inclusive and impactful.
• Optimized Brand Architecture – Clarified the positioning by restructuring the messaging hierarchy, ensuring consistency across all offerings.
• Codified the Mission & Values – Defined a clear, purpose-driven foundation that resonated with both internal teams and external audiences.
• Refreshed the Visual Identity – Modernized the primary logo and developed new logo variations to reflect a more dynamic and adaptable brand.
• Expanded the Design System – Introduced new color palettes, patterns, and iconography to enhance brand expression.
• Built a Scalable Templating System – Created a flexible framework for product marketing, ensuring consistency and efficiency across all communication channels.

The Impact

This foundational rebrand didn’t just improve brand clarity—it directly fueled mySidewalk’s growth by enabling a high-performing inbound marketing engine. The results:

• 50% of total pipeline ($2M/quarter) attributed to inbound marketing
• 43% of total bookings ($200K/quarter) driven by the new go-to-market motion

By unifying mySidewalk’s brand identity and messaging, we transformed it into a scalable, high-impact growth platform—one that resonated with public servants at every level while driving measurable business results.
