Visit Oak Park Launches New Brand and Website with TimeZoneOne

OAK PARK: Chicago’s favorite next door neighbor Visit Oak Park has launched a refreshed brand and website just in time for summer, with the support of its strategic agency partner, TimeZoneOne. The updated visual identity reflects Visit Oak Park’s warm invitation to explore its diverse range of communities and unique activities, and includes the friendly new tagline, “Meet Us Here.”

“This new consumer expression inspires our messaging and tone by being authentic, inviting and approachable,” said Visit Oak Park President & CEO Eric Wagner. “There is something for everyone to explore in the Oak Park area – from Brookfield Zoo to the Bungalows of Berwyn and the largest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the world. Our new branding and website has been created to inform and inspire visits to our many attractions and activities around the area.”

In addition to conceptualizing the new brand identity and designing the new website, Chicago-based agency TimeZoneOne filmed and edited a new brand video, which lives on the homepage of the website. The TZO team also worked in partnership with Visit Oak Park to create a kit of digital assets showcasing the new brand, including a social media campaign.

“Oak Park is Chicagoland’s hidden gem, and this fully integrated campaign is about re-positioning the city and its many communities in a new light,” said TimeZoneOne President & CEO Daniel Thomas. “The campaign well and truly puts Oak Park on the map for both domestic and international travellers.”
