TransWest had built a reputation for reliable transportation services, catering to tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon. Yet, as the company set its sights on expanding into new markets such as Portland, San Francisco, and beyond, it became clear their current branding was holding them back. The name “TransWest” positioned them as a regional player, limiting their ability to scale nationally. To achieve their growth ambitions, they partnered with Watson Creative to evolve their brand, redefine their market presence, and launch Glideporter—a bold, innovative identity that captured their vision for the future of mobility.
Watson’s collaboration with Glideporter began with extensive discovery sessions to understand their challenges, goals, and opportunities. From these insights, we crafted a new name and identity that moved away from regional limitations and emphasized seamless, tech-enabled solutions for people, businesses, and urban ecosystems. The rebrand wasn’t just cosmetic—it was a strategic shift that repositioned Glideporter as a thought leader in sustainable, innovative transportation solutions.
Watson’s approach to the Glideporter brand was grounded in crafting a narrative that resonated with Fortune 500 mobility managers, event planners, and construction project leaders—key stakeholders who needed solutions beyond simple transportation. The tagline “Enjoy the Ride” encapsulated the seamless, stress-free experience Glideporter aimed to deliver. The messaging emphasized their ability to create hyper-connected ecosystems, improve urban livability, and drive business growth through integrated mobility solutions.
This narrative extended across all branding touchpoints, from a refreshed website to marketing collateral and recruitment materials. The site highlighted Glideporter’s full suite of services, including corporate shuttles, valet operations, and parking management, alongside thought leadership content that showcased their expertise. The visual identity utilized a modern color palette and fluid design elements to convey movement, innovation, and sustainability.
The launch of Glideporter marked a pivotal moment for the company. Within months, the new brand began generating meaningful results. The updated website doubled traffic, leading to higher-quality inbound leads, including partnerships with new clients like Netflix. Recruitment efforts saw a similar boost, with Glideporter’s reimagined messaging and visuals helping attract top-tier talent. Internally, the brand’s narrative of innovation and service excellence became a rallying point, aligning the leadership team and employees under a shared vision.
By blending creative storytelling with strategic execution, Watson helped Glideporter transition from a reliable regional player into a national leader in sustainable mobility solutions. The collaboration demonstrated the power of a well-executed rebrand to unlock new opportunities, redefine perceptions, and create lasting impact.
“Watson gave us the tools to tell our story in a way that captures who we are and where we’re going. Glideporter isn’t just a name change—it’s a statement about the future of transportation, and Watson helped us bring it to life.” – Andrew Janison, CEO of Glideporter
