Back-to-school season is almost here, which means calendars are filling up with all those annual appointments... including a trip to the dentist.

It had us reminiscing about one of our favorite projects with Atlantic Dental Center.

Every project starts with understanding who our clients are and the experience they want people to have. From on-site photography and authentic team imagery to a completely redesigned website and custom appointment reminder postcards, every piece was intentionally created to reflect the welcoming, patient-first care Atlantic Dental Center provides.

Because great marketing isn't about a website or a postcard. It's about creating a consistent experience that builds trust before someone ever walks through the front door.

Take a look at the project here:

We highly recommend visiting The Wall That Heals in Manning. It will be here from July 23-26 and is open 24 hours/day. Find it at the football field! 🇺🇸

We were fortunate to work with the team on their website. Check it out! https://www.thewallthathealsmanning2026.com/

🇺🇸 The week we've been preparing for is finally here.

As The Wall That Heals makes its way to Manning, we want to take a moment to say thank you to the many volunteers, sponsors, veterans, organizations, and community members who have helped bring this meaningful event to life. It takes an incredible team to host something of this magnitude, and once again, Manning has shown what can happen when a community comes together.

Whether you're planning to attend one ceremony or spend several hours exploring The Wall, we hope you'll take the opportunity to experience this powerful tribute. Below you'll find the week's itinerary, including special ceremonies, guest speakers, and events that will make this visit even more meaningful.

This is more than an exhibit—it's an opportunity to honor those who served, remember those who sacrificed, and reflect on the stories that continue to shape our nation.

We hope you'll join us this week as we welcome The Wall That Heals to Manning. Thank you for helping make this unforgettable experience possible. ❤️🤍💙

Seeing entrepreneurs chase their dream, especially when they're part of the Emerge extended family is our favorite.

Congratulations to Tyler and Jessie on the launch of Three Suns Ag outside of Wiota, Iowa! We're excited to watch their new venture grow as they serve farmers throughout southwest Iowa with the same passion they bring to everything they do.

One of our favorite parts? Their sons are already jumping in to help build the family business... and they couldn't wait to get their hands on ALL. THE. SWAG!

Here's to new beginnings and the next generation of entrepreneurs. We can't wait to see what the future holds for Three Suns Ag!

We’re excited to share one of our newest print projects with St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Denison. There’s something special about helping tell a story that has been centuries in the making.

Following the beautiful revitalization of their sanctuary, Father Cronin wanted to help parishioners and visitors better understand the meaning behind the sacred art and traditional elements throughout the church. Together, we created a beautifully-designed print piece that highlights the symbolism, history, and spiritual significance of these features, making the experience even more meaningful for all who enter.

As an added bonus, we partnered with Sahira to translate the guide into Spanish, helping make this resource accessible to even more members of the parish community.

It’s an honor to help organizations tell their stories and celebrate their heritage. Thank you, St. Rose of Lima, for trusting our team with this meaningful project.

This week we had the opportunity to meet as a team at the new cabins at Littlefield Recreation Area! We went over priorities for the next quarter, participated in some friendly scavenger hunt competition, and put together personal vision boards.

A big thank you to Littlefield for hosting us! We enjoyed the Elk cabin for the day which would make the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. If camping is more your thing, check out the various camp spots with everything from tent sites to full hook-up.

Katie and Claire made a trip to Atlantic yesterday to cheer Jessie and Vision Atlantic on with their ribbon cutting at the Tiny Home Village in the new Camblin Hills Development.

The homes look amazing and will be perfect for visitors in Atlantic. We were already planning when we could come and stay! Great job Jessie and team!
