Convene
Before our partnership, Convene faced several key challenges. While highly effective, their existing brand messaging and visual identity primarily appealed to an established demographic, and they needed to reposition the organization to resonate with the next generation of Christian leaders (Millennials/Gen Z). The brand needed to lead more strongly with their life-changing purpose and impact, as well as reflect their expanded team types and modern approach to leadership development.

Unearthing the Core Problem:
The Cost of Isolation
The Ovrflo journey revealed a sobering truth – a staggering 75% of CEOs operate in isolation. Operating alone, they face heightened difficulties, strained relationships, and a tragically diminished impact, and many are entirely unaware that there is a better way. This wasn’t merely a business problem; it was a barrier to personal flourishing and Kingdom advancement.
Discovering the Core Belief: God Shows Up When Leaders Convene.
Against the backdrop of isolation, Convene holds a transformative conviction: “When Christ-following leaders convene, God shows up, advancing business, creating community, and impacting lives.” This is a declaration of divine partnership. It illuminates the catalytic power of shared wisdom, unwavering faith, and the tangible presence of God within a dedicated peer team. Convene is not merely offering business advice, but cultivating sacred spaces where professional excellence and spiritual growth converge.
Crafting an Activated Purpose: Accelerating Business, Community, and Impact.
From the fusion of problem and belief emerged Convene’s activated purpose – a powerful, concise declaration: “We help faith-driven leaders accelerate business, community, and impact.” This statement isn’t just words; it’s a blueprint for tangible transformation across three critical dimensions. It became the unwavering compass guiding every strategic decision and brand application that followed.
Creative Direction: Forward Momentum with Purpose.
The new creative direction for Convene is a visual symphony of purpose and progress. We crafted an aesthetic that doesn’t just look good, but feels like acceleration, community, and impact. This was achieved through a distinctive blend of relevant photography, subtle yet strategic dot patterns, and dynamic transparent arrow overlays. These arrows aren’t just design elements; they are powerful symbols of forward momentum, purposeful direction, and the relentless advancement of God’s Kingdom. The result is an inspiring, emotionally resonant visual language that powerfully conveys Convene’s credibility and expertise, forging a deeper connection with their audience.
New Tagline & Messaging: Faster. Further. Fulfilled.
The new primary tagline, “Business Performance. Eternal Impact,” is a concise declaration of Convene’s dual promise. This powerful evolution from “Eternal Perspective” zeroes in on the tangible, transformative impact Convene delivers, underscoring that deep biblical insight inevitably cultivates profound, lasting change. We then unleashed a comprehensive suite of new messaging and headlines, designed to resonate deeply and articulate Convene’s vibrant value proposition across every platform:
- Faster. Further. Fulfilled.
- Rise Together.
- High Performance. Higher Purpose.
- Accelerate Results + Impact.
- Unite. Accelerate. Activate.
- Next Level Leadership.
- Real Results. Real Relationships.
- Where Business Leaders Click.

Brand Application:
A Holistic Transformation.
The new brand identity wasn’t just a facelift; it was a holistic transformation, meticulously applied across every touchpoint to ensure seamless consistency and maximum impact. This grand unveiling included:
- Website: The redesigned website served as the ultimate showcase for the new brand. It vibrantly featured the new messaging and imagery, strategically solving key business challenges by clarifying and highlighting their expanded team types (CEO/Owner, C-Suite/Executive, Key Leader) and innovative online delivery options. We also rebuilt their locations module to be driven by a dynamic zipcode search, instantly listing local teams and prominently featuring online alternatives, moving far beyond a static list. This truly cemented Convene’s position as a visionary leader in the faith-based peer advisory teams industry.
- Tradeshow Banners & Brochures: Striking new designs for physical marketing materials that command attention.

“Our experience working with AM was the complete opposite of past agency partnerships, which were often painful. The process with AM was exceedingly painless, enjoyable, and the results were everything we had hoped for and then some. The Ovrflo process did exactly what I was hoping for, providing us with a clear purpose and messaging that accelerates our business goals and mission. The new website is a holistic transformation that beautifully showcases our new identity and effectively clarifies our expanded team types and online delivery options. The feedback we’ve received from every demographic has been phenomenal, showing just how well this new identity resonates with our audience and aligns with our commitment to business performance and eternal impact.”
