Educational apps company - Smart Bubblegum

Atlanta-Based Branding Agency Heralded for Integrated Brand Campaign on Behalf of Educational App Company Devoted Helping Young Learners “Play More. Get Smarter.”

Atlanta, August 19, 2021 – Taking an established brand and completely transforming its image to better fit a forward-looking vision and the changing needs of a customer base is just one of the services offered by Atlanta-based branding agency, Woodall Creative Group (WCG). In 2020, it did just that for a company named ABC Apps – transforming it to Smart Bubblegum through an integrated branding campaign that included the premier of a new logo and launch of a new website, supported by a video marketing campaign, social media campaign, digital advertising, email marketing and more. In addition to a successful launch that has led to the promising growth of the educational apps company in the year since the rebrand, Woodall Creative Group’s work caught the eye of the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA). The AIVA recognized WCG with two Communicator Awards of Excellence – top honors from the assembly of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media. Selected from more than 6,000 entries, included among WCG’s recognitions were the Communicator Award of Excellence for an Integrated Branding Campaign and the Communicator Award of Excellence for an Integrated Business-to-Consumer Campaign.

“We are honored to have our work once again recognized by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts and look forward to adding two more Communicator Awards to our trophy case,” said Tracy Woodall, President of Woodall Creative Group. “Branding is our agency’s sweet spot, and this was such a fun campaign for our creative team to tackle – led by our talented and innovative Creative Director, Jim Balke. We were fueled by the passion the leadership team at ABC Apps demonstrated for their work – that sense of purpose is a powerful foundation for any branding campaign. Given our expertise in working with child and family-related products and services, we were an ideal creative partner to guide them through the rebranding process. We have since become their Agency of Record and look forward to having front row seats to their continued success as a leader in education.”

Driven by a goal to have a positive impact on world literacy, Smart Bubblegum has its sights set on being the go-to resource for parents, grandparents, teachers and students seeking educational apps, websites, books, games, videos, test prep, advice and more to enhance the scholastic experience and engage the user. Rather than trying to find a needle in the haystack and downloading ineffective apps along the way, parents, grandparents and teachers can save time and money by partnering with Smart Bubblegum – which is a membership-based program. Its expansive catalogue of award-winning tools paired with a proprietary indexing system helps parents build their child’s Learning Bubble, customized to fulfill their child’s specific needs. This resource can evolve as their child grows and their needs change – all the way from infancy to high school.

“My team and I were drawn to Woodall Creative Group for their depth of experience with all the aspects of marketing including branding and website design,” said Bob Twaalfhoven, Founder and President of SmartBubblegum.com. “We also really liked the fact that they were so familiar with our target audience through their work with other educational and child-focused companies. It has been an extremely rewarding experience. They took us from a bland image and company name to what we believe will quickly become a memorable brand.”

In addition to Smart Bubblegum, Woodall Creative Group has earned trusted partnerships with brands in a wide variety of industries, from local businesses to large global corporations. While it excels at branding, Woodall’s long list of services include marketing strategy, content creation, digital marketing, video production, campaign design, website innovation, social media analytics and more.
