Around the turn of the year, the City of Fort Wayne asked OLG to develop a campaign that would communicate to residents to keep up the good fight against Covid-19 with emphasis on the big three—wearing a mask, keeping distance and limiting gatherings. As Allen County continues to see a rise in infection rates, it’s important that a clear message of preventing the spread is on the top of everyone’s mind.

For the January 2021 issue, Fort Wayne magazine approached One Lucky Guitar to contribute to a special, themed section of the magazine looking at the decade ahead in our community—the principles we’re building on, the trends we can leverage, the gaps we need to fill.

We’re pleased to share The Journey—a 33-minute documentary film produced for Foellinger Foundation that follows four leaders through their experience in the Leadership Lab, the signature program of the Helene Foellinger Leadership Development Initiative.

In early 2019, we were approached by Northwest Allen County Schools (NACS) to partner on a comprehensive brand strategy consultation. The district, made up of seven elementary schools (soon to be eight!), two middle schools and one high school is well known in our community for their academic excellence, and has been lauded at the state level for their schools’ academic and athletic performance.  Each school in the district its own little community.

In 2017, OLG presented David Wax Museum at the Middle Waves Music Festival. The band had previously played two stripped-down concerts at our own B-Side; the first as a trio, and the second as a duo with band leaders David Wax and Suz Slezak, who are married. David and Suz’s commitment to their art—and to being incredible parents to their young children—inspired us.

OLG is happy to be part of some positive and frothy news coming from the rejuvenated Columbia Street area in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana known as The Landing. Here, you’ll find the new Landing Beer Co., a one-of-a-kind brewery and BBQ hangout. In 2019, we were approached by the inspired owners to create all-new branding for their venture. To them, it was important that we capture the communal, fresh feeling they envisioned with the location—a space each resident will be welcome to have a good pint.

Great Kids is a wonderful organization that provides training and support to anyone working with children and adolescents in Allen County. From teachers, to social workers, to counselors, to foster parents—the list of those who benefit from the work of [...]
