Challenge
In December 2023, the PONY League World Series (PLWS) faced a pivotal challenge. The withdrawal of its long-time title sponsor left a critical budget shortfall, jeopardizing the future of this beloved community event in Washington County. With the tournament’s legacy and local economic impact at stake, the PLWS needed a swift and strategic solution to secure its continuity.
Brand Motives stepped in as a trusted partner to guide the PLWS through this crisis. Our team crafted a robust media strategy paired with a compelling title sponsorship pitch deck to attract high-value partners. After a thorough outreach and evaluation process, Printscape was selected as the new title sponsor, ensuring the event's financial stability.
Sponsorship was only the first step. Brand Motives reimagined the PLWS's identity with a bold and modern rebranding initiative. Within weeks, we introduced a revitalized brand identity spanning social media, the PLWS website, and event signage, creating a cohesive and contemporary look that resonated with audiences.
The transformation was immediate and impactful. The refreshed brand energized the PLWS's digital presence, driving record-breaking engagement. The 2024 PONY League World Series garnered over 4.5 million social media impressions, a testament to the power of innovative branding and strategic sponsorship. The event not only regained its footing but also expanded its reach and influence, setting a new benchmark for success.
Brand Motives turned a daunting challenge into an extraordinary opportunity for growth. By leveraging strategic planning, innovative branding, and targeted partnerships, we ensured the PLWS not only survived its financial hurdles but thrived as a reinvigorated community event. This case exemplifies our commitment to elevating brands through bold, results-driven strategies.

Budget limitations often hinder nonprofits from fully utilizing available resources. The Washington County Agricultural Fair faced such challenges while attempting to leverage a Google Grant offering up to $10,000 per month in search engine marketing. Complexities in the application process, website compliance issues, and campaign management posed significant obstacles to success.
Brand Motives stepped in to help the Fair unlock the full potential of the Google Grant. Our team managed the entire process, from securing the grant to building high-performing, compliant campaigns. When the Fair’s website failed to meet Google’s requirements, we overhauled the site, implementing SEO best practices to ensure compliance and enhance overall performance.
The impact was transformative. Monthly Google Grant spending increased by over 1,000%, dramatically expanding the Fair’s visibility through targeted search engine marketing. This improvement not only optimized the grant’s value but also significantly boosted audience reach and engagement.
By streamlining the Google Grant process and implementing effective SEO strategies, the Washington County Agricultural Fair overcame financial barriers and achieved remarkable digital growth. This collaboration underscores how expert guidance can help nonprofits maximize available resources and enhance their impact.
