ARAMARK Parks and Destinations and Shenandoah National Park: Keeping the brand experience consistent across multiple channels.

A brand includes every aspect of a customer’s experience. As communications channels proliferate, RIESTER works closely with our clients to maintain a consistent voice, look, and feel regardless of the mode of communications.

Social media makes it easier than ever to communicate through new communications channels. These channels demand that the strategy behind communications and the attention to detail across all platforms be consistent, while allowing for the nimbleness required to engage in the fast-moving world of social media.

ARAMARK Parks and Destinations is a RIESTER client. The company provides authentic visitor experiences, including operating signature resorts and lodges, at America’s national parks. Working with them is a special privilege for RIESTER to connect two great brands: ARAMARK Parks and Destinations, with its unrivaled tourism operations, and America’s world-renowned national parks.

The company operates lodging services at Shenandoah National Park for the National Park Service. RIESTER assisted ARAMARK Parks and Destinations in creating a Facebook presence for its operations at Shenandoah. The Facebook platform is especially well suited for sharing experiences through photos–an important part of the content posted on their Shenandoah Facebook page. Our job included establishing editorial guidelines for the Facebook page that ensured consistency with the overall brand.

Telling a Story of Global Good

Today is day one of a very exciting project for the Thunderbird School of Global Management, a RIESTER client for the past eleven years. To tell Thunderbird’s story — the world’s #1 school for international business — RIESTER is sending a small crew around the world to film TBirds (graduates of the school) reciting the Thunderbird Oath of Honor. This oath is what guides TBirds throughout their careers; it is their promise to conduct business with respect to other cultures, their communities, and their environment. Our crew will be starting in New York, then heading off to London, Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro. The end result will be two :30 commercials, a rich-media web campaign, and new video content for the web.

Every Thunderbird graduate signs the oath upon graduation.

Thunderbird OATH of HONOR
As a Thunderbird and a Global citizen, I Promise
I will strive to act with honesty and integrity,
I will respect the rights and dignity of all people,
I will strive to create sustainable prosperity worldwide,
I will oppose all forms of corruption and exploitation and
I will take responsibility for actions. As I hold true to these principles,
It is my hope that i may enjoy an honorable reputation and peace of conscience.
This pledge I make freely and upon my honor.

Forty years of an American icon: The Egg McMuffin.

Herb Peterson photographed with the iron rings made by a California blacksmith for him to cook the original Egg McMuffins.

RIESTER is honored to be associated with the Egg McMuffin which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Herb Peterson was the owner of McDonald’s restaurants on California’s Central Coast where he created the iconic breakfast sandwich for McDonald’s.

Today Herb’s son David, a RIESTER client, continues to operate McDonald’s restaurants in Santa Barbara and Goleta. Every year he honors his father with the annual Herb Peterson Day. On January 5th, Herb Peterson’s birthday, customers can buy Egg McMuffins for a dollar at McDonald’s restaurants throughout the Central Coast.

Herb Peterson not only created a breakfast sandwich, he revolutionized the American breakfast menu. McDonald’s was the first quick service restaurant to offer breakfast and they remain the leader in the category today.

The next time you enjoy an Egg McMuffin think of Herb Peterson, an American breakfast and business pioneer.

Real stories inspire others to quit tobacco.

The ASHLine, the smokers’ helpline managed by the Arizona Department of Health Services, has helped countless people quit tobacco over the years. In a brand new multimedia campaign developed by RIESTER, ads feature real ASHLine users recounting their personal battles with tobacco – and their ultimate victories over it. These stories are designed to inspire others to call ASHLine, so that too can live tobacco-free. For the television commercials, RIESTER partnered with Working Joe Productions and director Geoffrey Madeja.
