Marketing. Everything.
Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District
Big ideas, moving
our community
forward.

All aboard.

From MTD's 2005 “Gotta Get There” campaign to the recent “Thrive” brand refresh, we've delivered powerful messaging and bold creative ideas for their initiatives for years. Driving the local economy, accessibility, jobs, and sustainability—MTD’s community impact is immense. We're proud to contribute to their growth.
…they bring a wealth of exciting and challenging ideas to the table—and fully engage our in-house project team to work through the creative process to end up with a dynamic result, with complete buy-in. I’ve never seen my team leave a meeting with SURFACE 51 where they aren’t more energized for the project than they were going in.
