Engaging MANOVERBOARD to rebrand our company has proven to be the best decision Garrett Creek Ranch could have made. From the very beginning, Andrew Boardman deeply understood what we were determined to accomplish. He was a master at procuring the dreams, vision and mission from our staff without intimidating. His integrity, uncanny wisdom, and insight sincerely propelled our message and purpose forward both physically and emotionally to our clients. He is a man you can trust and you find yourself telling him so. Before long, you wish he was part of your staff or better yet, your family.

Michael Barrish, although behind the scenes, is a coding genius. Together they are a powerful force.
—Deb Williams, Director of Sales and Marketing, GCR

Garrett Creek Ranch

Based in aptly-named Paradise, Texas, Garrett Creek Ranch asked MANOVERBOARD to fully rebrand the company in 2005. The 50-acre conference center, or The Ranch as it is affectionately known by its staff and customers, sought to modernize its 15-year old logo and create a new and elegant website.

MANOVERBOARD met with key stakeholders at The Ranch, including managers, sales directors, maintenance staff, bartenders, chefs, and others, to understand how to best communicate the sheer beauty and scale of the conference center and its environs.

MANOVERBOARD wrote a five-page design brief and presented a series of logo concepts. After the revised logo was designed, refined, and approved, MANOVERBOARD created a unique website that would showcase The Ranch's stunning landscape, its relaxing and down-home attitude, and its superb food and accommodations. Now in its third iteration, GCR's website offers potential and existing customers a clear view of the conference center - from the comfort of their armchair.

Also created was a new stationery system for The Ranch, including business cards, letterhead, envelopes and folders. We designed and built the company's first email newsletter that directly communicates with its customers and we're in the process of designing additional printed collateral.
