Client Challenge

FairPoint Communications was in need of a comprehensive rebranding program in the states of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Components of the program included facility signage, fleet graphics and payphone program management.

Our Solution & Services

Facility Signage

The first component of the program involved fabrication and installation of signage for 400+ facilities in the three state area.

The initial phase included site survey documentation, design solutions, code research and permit acquisition for each individual facility.

Fabrication and installation commenced upon completion of the intial phase.

Close out documentation for each location, including digital completion photographs, were provided to the client.

Fleet Graphics

The second component of the program required the rebranding of the entire fleet of 1,500+ vehicles. Survey information was obtained for all vehicle types and garages. Based on the survey results, a comprehensive schedule was developed to rebrand all three states concurrently.

Fabrication of materials began three weeks prior to the installation start date to ensure adequate supplies.

Strategic Sourcing continues to support FairPoint with their new fleet programs by providing turnkey branding for all vehicle types.

Payphone Program Management

The third and final component of the program required program management services for the fabrication and distribution of materials for 6,300+ public telephones. As with the building and fleet phases, survey information was obtained for all payphone types and that information served as the basis for the fabrication schedule.

Results

The 9-month comprehensive program was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
