The core values of our team.

We measure ourselves against some specific values that, as a company, we’ve decided are non-negotiable. As people in progress we’re committed to improving professionally and personally every single day.

We're diehard about our core values.

We measure ourselves against some specific values that, as a company, we’ve decided are non-negotiable. They’re not merely a formality- they guide every decision we make. As people in progress with a “grow or die” mentality, we’re committed to improving professionally and personally every single day.

williams-media-core-value-pizza

No Mediocre Pizza.

We produce work that we are proud of today but are committed to making today’s ceiling, tomorrow’s floor.

williams-media-core-value-thankyou

Thank You. Thank You.

Entitlement kills creativity & contentment. This is why we express gratitude often and out loud.

williams-media-core-value-scale-by-synn

Scale by Synergy.

One can put 1,000 to flight – 2, 10,000. When we value and trust our team, we get better and grow faster – together.

Effort Over Outcome.

If you’re not failing, you’re not trying, if you’re not trying you’re not growing and if you’re not growing, well…

williams-media-core-value-salty

Stay Salty.

Like salt, our role is to enhance every business and every individual we work with – we exist to bring out the brilliance in those we engage with.

HoliMont Ski Club

Taking America's largest private ski club from the blue square to double black.

For almost 60 years HoliMont has been committed to creating an environment for generations of families and friends to adventure and build memories together. As America’s largest Private Ski Club, and WNY’s Premier Ski Destination, it was time for a change to reposition the club for the new season they were stepping into. In partnership with their incredibly committed and passionate team, we’ve rolled up our sleeves to not only reintroduce HoliMont as an All-Season Club but to engage new members and remind existing members of how wonderful a place HoliMont is for family, friendship, and fun.

Brand Identity

Refreshing their identity without reinventing it. 

HoliMont has a very recognizable mark with decades of history behind it – so our approach was focused on breathing new life into a timeless logo.

OLD LOGO

Logo Redesign

Simple & Structured.

Removing the dated styling (shadows, outlines) as well as the caps-case on the word mark helped to reveal a more timeless and versatile logo.

Color Studies & Typography

A high-end, rustic, and elegant take on WNY ski culture

Combining rich greens, rose gold, and a quality typographic system gives HoliMont the recognizable look it deserved.

Brand Texture

Topographic mapping of the 'Mont made for the perfect texture.

We converted a topographic map of Holimont in order to create a series of brand textures to add some intrigue and beauty to the visual identity.

"My experience working with the Williams Media team has been nothing short of fresh and energetic, with confident collaboration and creativity. They have surpassed what we could have envisioned on our own, and presented us with a relevant, modern approach to our new site.

Working with requested deliverables and realistic deadlines from the Williams Media team has been smooth with constant communication. They do a great job understanding the direct needs of the client and fitting within budget parameters. They are honest and take the time to make sure the client understands exactly what they need to create a successful site launch."
