BACKGROUND
Salter Pilon Architecture Inc. has a long-established practice of committed professionals providing sustainable, user-driven design solutions for a wide variety of project types. Their reputation for design innovation and technical excellence has brought many referrals and repeat clients in the healthcare design, education and civic architecture sectors. Salter Pilon has created unique and innovative state-of-the-art facilities, which respond to the specific and specialized needs of their individual clients. By truly listening, searching and trusting teamwork, they create facilities that communities are proud of.
There can be unique challenges for designers when you become your own client. Enter Rhubarb Media, who patiently navigated us through the rebranding process until we were happy with the graphic representation of our firm.
With our brand secured, the Rhubarb Media team then built our website. They took our vision and designed the site based on a content management system that allows us to edit and update our own site content.
Rhubarb collaborated well with another development firm that we included on our team. The self-serve aspect of the site is important to us but we are comforted by the knowledge that Rhubarb is there for support and back-up.
We were pleased to finally have our new site launched and to introduce our new brand. Feedback has been very positive and we credit the excellent people at Rhubarb Media for helping to make our vision a reality.

BACKGROUND
Red Byrd creates dynamic visuals, giving depth and realism to projects that help clients, students and stakeholders ‘get’ or grasp how products work, or understand your message more clearly, whether anatomical, mechanical or fictional.
They leverage the experience and creativity of graphic designers, animators, programmers and project managers to create a cohesive final product on time and within budget.
How we helped
Robin Soloy came to us to brand her new company. We helped zero in on her name and unique spelling and then got to work on her brand. Knowing her skills as a 3D animator it made sense to find an image that expressed her personality and her services. Designing an origami bird was a perfect match as it expressed both her 2D and 3D expertise. It also gave her a great excuse to animate it for her website!
We created business cards for her as well, which not only looked great but felt great using a varnish coating to give it that professional touch.

We helped Northern Rockies take off
BACKGROUND
We rebranded and developed a website for Lake Simcoe Regional Airport a number of years ago and just this past year did a redevelopment of the original site to a DRUPAL site. Last fall we received a call from Northern Rockies Regional Airport asking us to submit a proposal as they loved the LSRA site so much! We won the bid and took off on a number of projects!
Here’s what they had to say:
“Throughout the entire process, Rhubarb Media was thoroughly organized and extremely easy to work with. They were able to compile all of our requests and produce a product that not only functioned extremely well, but went above and beyond to ensure the site not only matched our vision, but exceeded it far beyond our expectations.
Rhubarb was continuously looking out for the NRRA’s interest, and was innovative in finding solutions to our unique operations of a busy northern airport. Their approach to customer service, although very professional, came off as working with a friend than a typical client/business relationship which was easily helpful at putting us at ease during meetings and troubleshooting scenarios.
Rhubarb Media were an absolutely joy to work with, and I highly recommend their services.”

Taking an airport to new heights
Background
The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is one of the newest and best positioned regional airport facilities in Canada. Located in one of the fastest growing regions of Ontario directly serving a population base of over 450,000, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport serves the County of Simcoe including the municipalities of Barrie and the Township of Oro-Medonte. The Airport offers these users a convenient location in close proximity to both the Greater Toronto Area as well as pristine Central Ontario Cottage Country. With its modern airport facilities and 6,001 ft runway, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport is able to serve a wide variety of aircraft ranging from small recreational and flight training aircraft to larger corporate, regional and commercial aircraft.
How we helped:
In 2007 we met with Mike Drumm from Lake Simcoe Regional Airport to begin one of our long-standing client relationships. We created a new modern logo and custom CMS website built in Adobe Flash. (We did say 2007!) In 2012 we re-launched a new design, fresh content and refocused on new opportunities at the airport. And in 2019, redeveloped it again to allow for more content management abilities. They love the new CMS, built on one of our favourite platforms,Word Press and DIVI.

The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport through its parent, the City of Barrie, undertook to completely re-brand the regional airport’s image with a new corporate logo and web site as the core projects. The diverse nature and fast pace of the aviation business demanded a product that would define the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport as contender in the global market – Rhubarb Media was able to provide such a product. Not only did the creative and dynamic team at Rhubarb deliver a professional image of the airport, but were able to do so with the initial parameters evolving into a larger product. I would highly recommend the services of this group.

We’ve made lives better for veterans
CLIENT: Department of Veterans Affairs, United States of America
In 2009, the US Department of Veterans Affairs was tasked with communicating the benefits of the new Post 9/11 GI Bill. The benefits were great but VA was unable to effectively communicate it to veterans and their families. By establishing an awareness campaign for these benefits, Rhubarb Media, along with it’s U.S. partner, American Independent Media, were able to increase benefit applications by 45%. Along with some amazing U.S. partners we helped re-brand and market the Post 9/11 GI BILL. From helping with branding to advertising to video to websites to executing the creative for an entire NASCAR event, Rhubarb Media and team delivered!

American Independent Media was instrumental in creating a now-iconic brand for the GI Bill. The Department of Veterans Affairs worked with AIM to conduct a national marketing campaign to promote the greatest expansion of education benefits since World War Two. Through AIM’s support we conducted a national advertising campaign, NASACAR race weekend, and brand promotion strategy for the Post-9/11 GI Bill® from 2010 to 2015. All were successful in establishing a nationally recognized brand and increasing in the number of people using the GI Bill. The employees I worked with at AIM were some of the most professional individuals I’ve had the pleasure of work with. They were inspired and dedicated to their craft. AIM’s leadership team was always willing to go the extra mile and work tirelessly for a product that met our needs. Simply put, the GI Bill would not enjoy the recognition by the public today without AIM.

I wanted to take an opportunity to tell you what a pleasure it was working with you on the Post-9/11 GI Bill. It’s so hard to believe how long ago that was now. I continue to be amazed at the great work everyone did on all the projects we under took as part of the implementation – no small thanks owed to you and your team for all your support. It truly felt like a team effort.
