X Overland: Storytelling at its finest.

Background
A docu-reality series following a group of overlanders on their journeys across states, countries, and continents, X Overland (XO) joins an intense love for adventure with breathtaking photography, cinematography, and storytelling. The scenery and stories portrayed have captivated an impressive fan following in just two seasons.

Challenge
With their primary revenue provided by sponsors, XO needed an effective method for attracting the right sponsors.

Results
times2studio develops annual sales brochures to present the X Overland brand to potential sponsors. The highly visual pages include spectacular images from the show’s journeys, with special attention focused on sponsor-provided products. The design succeeds in bringing the feelings of excitement for travel and overland adventure to the forefront. Further brand outreach includes creation of the ever-popular, collectible custom-illustrated patches, trading cards, posters and wearable merchandise. New sub-brands such as Junior Overlander and Overlander (the series) are on the horizon with times2studio driving the creative for these new ventures.

times2studio has played a key role in developing our brand and vision into who X Overland is. Without them, we would not be where we are today. We consistently hear compliments from our partners and fans about the professionalism and quality of our visuals. Amy is on top of our deadlines and brainstorming sessions, offering ideas and strategies. Along with our YouTube banners, and video thumbnails, Todd takes our merchandising ideas and turns them into sellable products that bring in another stream of revenue that keeps our show going. Together, they make an incredible team and we are thrilled to continue using them for all of our design needs. I would highly recommend them, and do frequently, for anyone needing quality work.

Good design looks cool. Great design makes cool stuff happen. Amy and Todd Farrell are not only great designers, but also trusted business partners. They have contributed enormously to the success of my consulting practice—not only through their talent, but also with their dedication to treating my clients the same way they treat their own.

times2studio has had a large positive impact on our business. They definitely “get it” when it comes to creating merchandising material that matches our brand personality. And, the look and feel of their work is top-drawer. Plus, Amy is so very responsive, and when needed, she can get a project done quickly for us. In sum, we’re doing much more merchandising because of our confidence in times2studio.

I have had the privilege of working with times2studio for more than three years. It has been a pleasure every step of the way. Starting with a branding overhaul and new logos, to multiple brochures, letterhead, conference displays, newsletter templates, and more. Each project is approached with an open mind, a thorough review of the project scope, goal, budget, and timeline. They hit it out of the park every time, leaving me in awe and excited to begin the next project. In short, Amy and Todd are a wonder team of talent and ability!

times2studio has done an incredible job of creating marketing materials that help capture the spirit and feeling of our development. They show the bricks and mortar of what we have to offer, but more importantly, their materials resonate the lifestyle that will accompany high-density urban living in a beautiful river park and trail environment. Todd’s and Amy’s creativity is refreshing and they are always very conscious of meeting deadlines. They are an integral part of our success!

As the marketing director for MCT, Inc.–Missoula Children’s Theatre & Missoula Community Theatre–I have had the privilege of working with Amy and Todd for more than three years. It has been a pleasure every step of the way. Starting with a branding overhaul and new logos, to multiple brochures, letterhead, postcards, website design and templates, conference displays, newsletter templates, and now the re-design of our building hallway, no project is too large or too small! Each project is approached with an open mind, a thorough review of the project scope, goal, budget, and timeline. I can say, without hesitation, that they hit it out of the park each and every time, leaving me in awe and excited to begin the next project. In short, Amy and Todd are a wonder team of talent and ability—not to mention that they’re some of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with!
