John P. O'Sullivan Groundbreaking Event

June 28, 2023

On Tuesday, June 20th Behind Your Design was asked to coordinate the John P. O'Sullivan groundbreaking event. In addition to the event coordination, we designed and produced the invitations, table cloths, feather flags, bags, and koozies to go along with the event. D&W Street Eatery provided a hot dog truck with all the toppings during this lunchtime event.

“We are thrilled to welcome John P. O’Sullivan Distributing to our community as our latest business neighbor who will help create job opportunities and support our local economy.  We look forward to partnering with this tremendous company as part of our ongoing efforts to make Grand Blanc Township a great place to live, work, and raise a family.” 


- Jeremy Smith, Planning and Zoning Administrator for Charter Township of Grand Blanc.

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.

Elevating the Tanglewood Brand At Behind Your Design, we believe good design should do more than just look pretty - it should connect, inform, and support the people it's made for. That’s why partnering with Tanglewood Assisted Living has been such a meaningful project for our team. As a trusted support system for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Tanglewood Assisted Living sought refreshed branding that reflected clarity, compassion, and consistency. We were honored to collaborate with them, creating a new logo and marketing materials to help bring their vision to life.

Reaching the Skies with Stunning Design: How We Partnered with Covenant Aero When Covenant Aero came to us, they had a bold mission: “The Gospel through Aviation”, using aviation as a tool to reach people in remote places with hope, faith, and help. What they needed was a visual presence and communications strategy that could soar just as high as their planes. That’s where our team stepped in. Chelsea and Matt got the opportunity to visit and fly over to the airport hanger and hang the vinyl decals on the wall. Check out the video to see what happened. Here’s a look at what we delivered—each piece designed to help Covenant Aero reach more people, strengthen connections, and keep their mission soaring.
