The Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber is currently undergoing am exploration into rebranding. After an interruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, we convened a Chamber Rebranding Task Force at the beginning of this year to create and draft an RFP that was then distributed widely. After reviewing proposals from about 15 agencies, four were chosen to interview with the task force in person. After careful consideration, North Star Place Branding & Marketing was chosen. Recently, representatives from North Star visited Osceola County to meet with many of our members in focus groups or one-on-one interviews to learn more about the Chamber, our members, the Osceola business community, and perceptions that surround our county and our Chamber. Following that research, the folks at North Star put together a brief survey so that we may learn from an even greater sampling of our local business population. We value the input of our members and our community, so please take the time to complete the brief survey below and help North Star create a look and brand for our Chamber that this community can truly own and be proud of. All responses are anonymous, and we appreciate any assistance with our research!
Learn more about our rebranding process and our agency North Star from this conversation on our 15 minutes series between Chamber Board Chair Adrianna Sekula and Ed Barlow and Anita Carter or North Star.
The secret is out! The Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber will be participating in Osceola Arts‘ Annual Lip Sync Battle on July 31 at Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center! We will go head-to-head with other community leaders to see whose natural performing talent, creative ability, and willingness to get a little bit silly shines the brightest all while supporting a great community cause! While our undeniable talent speaks for itself, to be named “Top Team” we are working hard to bring in funds for Osceola Arts’ youth programs.
Who will the Chamber team channel in their one-night-only performance? The answer to this will only be revealed at the event on July 31. Contact us if you would like to attend and support team Chamber Thyme.
Proceeds from this event go to youth arts programs in our community, and you can show your support by donating in the name of team Chamber Thyme using the QR code below, or by texting ChamberThyme to 407-993-6877! Any little bit helps!
