Branding

Brand Identity is about being consistent and helping a brand be identifiable.

With only a logo designed, there was a need to create cohesive branding for Excel Engineering. A Style Guide with outlined fonts, and pantones was required.

Full branding guide available upon request

Content

With a low budget for advertising, an effective content strategy was required. Social Media services, such as LinkedIn were a factor in creating an authentic brand identity.

Old blog content was still performing well, but with no new content created, the opportunities were being passed up by competitors.

Today is International Women in STEM Day!

The world of engineering is powered by unique and diverse experiences.

The engineering field continues to grow stronger as more women from diverse backgrounds bring new perspectives. Their contributions drive broader ideas, and a more inclusive future for engineering. As our team has been expanding into new territories, these new perspectives are creating new solutions.

Thank you to all of the women who choose to create a more inclusive future. Their hard work and dedication are what continue to help us excel.

Our 2026 Winter Party touched down with a ton of fun, food, and fowling at The Fowling Warehouse in Minneapolis.

These parties are a way for our team to unwind and celebrate themselves. We wouldn't be here without the hard work and dedication from our team, who shape us as we head into the new year. A huge thank you all our employees who came and celebrated with us.

There's always a reason to be thankful.

Every month, we invite all our employees into the office for lunch. This is a way to give back to everyone and show thanks and appreciation for their hard work.

For us, it's more than being thankful one day out of the year, it's about being thankful for everyone who helps us be who we are.
