Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce

Together, We Are MORE

Overview:
For more than 125 years, the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce has supported businesses across the Western North Carolina region as a creative, innovative, and collaborative force in the community. Through economic development initiatives, business education, and advocacy, the Chamber connects members to meaningful growth opportunities.

Assignment:
To better communicate the Chamber’s initiatives, Kudzu Brands graphic designers developed a distinct brand architecture, creating brand marks, program-specific taglines, and cohesive campaigns.

Kudzu refined the Chamber’s messaging to articulate its mission, programs, and community impact, resulting in stronger member growth and more profound engagement across Asheville. In 2019, the Asheville Chamber of Commerce was recognized as the #1 Chamber of the Year and is recognized as North Carolina’s 3rd largest chamber in the state.
