New look. Same charm.
Meet your Carmel Brand Ambassadors! This group of city employees will be your go-to source for information on Carmel's place branding initiative. Keep your eyes out for members of the team in t-shirts at various city events, including this Saturday's Allied Solutions' Meet Me On Main, as well as a few pop-ups that will be announced soon.
Why are we rebranding Carmel? Great question. As we collaborate with North Star Place Branding + Marketing, we’re engaging in a comprehensive Research/Discovery, Creativity and Action process. This is about more than just a new logo or tagline - it's a strategic move to unify our vision, communicate Carmel's unique identity and ensure that our external image reflects the spirit of our entire community.
