At OLG, we believe in the power of place branding. We’ve worked with trusted collaborators and partners to produce myriad community development and placemaking campaigns throughout the country—but the work we do right here, in Allen County… it’s special. We’re passionate about the community we call home.

Our investment in placemaking goes beyond brand engagements, too. OLG, and OLG’ers, donate their time, talent and treasure to initiatives that make northeast Indiana more vibrant. That’s why OLG is proud to sponsor First Fridays on The Landing.

Every Friday from May–October in 2021, starting at 5PM, head down to Columbia Street in Downtown Fort Wayne and find local artists, musicians, restaurants, breweries and more. It’s a celebration of all things that are authentically Fort Wayne—the things that make us unique, memorable and irreplaceable.

The Landing was home to Fort Wayne’s first post office, theatre and hotel. It was on The Landing that our community first became a county, a township—even a city. Now, vibrancy has returned to The Landing, with 70 new apartments and a hub of local eateries and drinkeries like Nawa, Utopian Coffee, Mercado, Landing Beer Co. and more.
