			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/uga3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1096" title="uga" src="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/uga3-425x316.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="316" /></a>Thinkso created a brand identity and new website for <a title="Kate Tempesta's Urban Golf Academy" href="http://www.ktuga.com/" target="_blank">Kate Tempesta’s Urban Golf Academy</a>, an innovative program that combines creative movement techniques and traditional golf to teach children as young as age 4.</p>
<p><span id="more-1071"></span></p>
<p>Competition among extracurricular programs for kids is fierce. Good thing Kate and Mari knew they needed a compelling brand to make their innovative golf program a winner.</p>
<p>The clean aesthetic and the clear language employed to describe the classes goes a long way to assuring parents, teachers and golf pros of the academy’s competencies. To capture the kids’ attention, we created Birdie, KTUGA’s mascot. She is used on every brand touch point with which the children come in contact, from water bottles to coloring pages. They can even send Birdie an email from the homepage of ktuga.com.</p>
<p>The new website stands out from other programs’ sites, which are difficult to navigate and understand. We helped the owners organize and develop content around their diverse class structures to clearly communicate their unique methodology and offering.</p>
<p><a href="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/coloring.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1098" title="coloring" src="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/coloring-425x316.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="316" /></a> Kids really connect with Birdie. We created these coloring pages to keep kids engaged while waiting for their turn.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/collateral.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1100" title="collateral" src="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/collateral-425x316.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="316" /></a> Consistency and quality in implementing the brand positions KTUGA as a premier program deserving of parents’ and teachers attention and funds.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/jump.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1099" title="jump" src="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/jump-298x425.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="425" /></a> With the logo on the back and Birdie’s facial features on the front, this t-shirt promotes the brand, and the kids never want to take it off! <a href="http://thinkso.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/coloring.jpg"><br />
