Pickleballers Next Door came to us right as the sport was exploding, and the podcast space around it was still wide open. They wanted a brand that captured their personalities — laid-back, funny, not-too-serious — while still giving them something polished enough to grow with. We created an illustrative identity with a modern, slightly nostalgic vibe that fit them perfectly and set them apart. Since the rebrand, they’ve pulled in sponsors, grown their audience, and are gearing up for a podcast road trip. The brand gave them the credibility and personality to actually run with the momentum.
