Ability Beyond
Ability Beyond is a non-profit whose mission is to help people with disabilities to access essential community services – from residential support and employment to transportation and recreational opportunities – all with the goal of living full lives in connection with their communities.
When we arrived, we found a rich heritage, shared mission, and extremely dedicated staff. However, the organization’s name, identity, and communications lagged behind its growing vision.
After months of research with employees, external partners, and industry experts, we developed a brand and messaging strategy to organize Ability Beyond’s communications and drive a complete brand transformation.
In parallel with its new name and logo, Ability Beyond now focuses all of its communications around the essence of what the organization embodies: “We discover, build and celebrate ability in all people.”
