For many competing firms in Hawai’s, branding appears to be an afterthought. While several of Goodsill’s competitors had recently made small refinements to their branding, their incremental efforts left the door wide open for this esteemed firm to make some noise and establish a unique brand position in the Hawai’i market. Recognizing this opportunity, they reached out to Stackpole, and make some noise we did.
