Tiffany Skilling Interiors | Story | Golden x Story

When Tiffany Skilling Interiors, along with its retail brand, Story, and its newest venture, Golden x Story, a bespoke heirloom furniture line, partnered with PMG, the vision was to craft three distinct yet cohesive brands that embody Tiffany’s sophistication, creativity, and exceptional quality. Through a strategic brand refresh for TSI, complete with complementary marketing materials and a refined social media presence, and the full brand development for Story and Golden x Story, PMG positioned Tiffany Skilling’s growing enterprise for continued success while preserving the signature warmth and personal touch that define her brand.

Pinheads

Pinheads, a local entertainment destination, needed a brand refresh that stayed true to its roots while modernizing its image as the company continues to grow. PMG refined its visual identity, messaging, social + marketing assets, complete with PMG produced production shoot, to align with its evolving audience. The result was a cohesive, energetic brand that now lives vibrantly across its digital channels, signage, and in-venue experiences.

Ryne Barr, Pinheads COO, shared; “What stood out most to me about working with PMG was the clarity and intentionality behind the entire creative process. From the beginning, your team took the time to truly understand who we are—our history, our culture, and the experience we want our guests to have. Every step felt thoughtful, collaborative, and aligned with our vision.

The refreshed brand captures the energy, personality, and playfulness of Pinheads in a way that feels both elevated and authentic. Since introducing the refreshed brand, the response from our guests, partners, and team members has been overwhelmingly positive. People immediately recognized how naturally it fits who we are, and it’s created a renewed sense of excitement across the organization. The unified, modern look has strengthened our presence across marketing, digital communication, and in-center experiences, giving us a clearer and more compelling way to tell our story and connect with our community.

Thank you again for the incredible partnership throughout this process.”

Carmel Education Foundation

When Carmel Education Foundation partnered with PMG, the goal was to modernize a trusted legacy brand while clarifying its mission and impact across Carmel Clay Schools. Through a strategic brand refresh including updated visuals, messaging, marketing materials,  production shoot, website audit, and social media presence, PMG helped CEF strengthen its identity and better communicate its role in funding student scholarships, teacher grants, and innovative classroom programs.

Each of these projects demonstrates PMG’s unique ability to combine creativity, strategy, and execution into branding that not only looks exceptional, but works.

Carmel Education Foundation’s CEO, Jenn Penix, shared her thoughts on working with PMG to update their brand; “PMG didn’t just give us a new brand—they helped us discover who we truly are.

Working with the team at Pence Media Group has taken our organization to an entirely new level. What began as a simple brand refresh quickly evolved into a true partnership and an essential extension of our strategy. As a 60-year-old education foundation, our branding no longer reflected the dynamic, inclusive, and contemporary organization we have become.

Elevating the awareness of our foundation and the significance of our impact in Carmel was priority one. Nicole and her team took the time to understand us deeply—asking thoughtful questions, engaging key stakeholders, and helping us reflect on our identity through a wide lens before guiding us toward clarity and cohesion.

To the public, this may appear as just a new logo, but to our board and staff it is a fully realized brand system: a refined mission, clear UVPs, style and brand guidelines, an elevator pitch, and a toolkit of resources that finally communicates who we are. These tools have already created a significant shift in our organization, specifically increasing our social media impact and enhancing our connection to the community.

This process required time, trust, and genuine conversation—and at every step, we felt heard. PMG encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, to consider new perspectives, and to benefit from the insight of some of the most genuine, talented, and knowledgeable professionals I’ve had the privilege to work with. The result of our rebrand has strengthened our organization from the inside out.

Our confidence in their work—and their clear investment in our success—made it an easy decision to continue partnering with them during our first year of implementation. We may be a small team, but with PMG’s collaboration, we are undeniably mighty. We are deeply grateful to Nicole and the exceptional women who have supported us every step of the way.”
