When The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore began their rebrand journey they were faced with not only updating the brand identity, but also building out the ever-growing educational aspect of the institution.
The Zoo’s mission is to inspire and educate people to join with it in the active support and conservation of wildlife and wild places. In order to align with the Zoo’s mission, the rebrand needed to be educational while fun at the same time. Along with creating new events and revamping fan favorites such as Brew at the Zoo, Boo at the Zoo, Zoo Snooze, and Zoo Bop, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore developed new content and leveraged social media as well as other innovative ways to reach its target audience.

As part of the branding overhaul, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore website and branded platforms have undergone significant improvements. In the process of creating deeper user-experience with an ever-growing collection of native content, they created superb photography and let it do as much of the talking as possible.

A portion of all tickets sales will be donated to The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore to support animal care, education programs, and critical wildlife conservation helping to save species from extinction.

Take a walk on the wild side to learn more about their innovative and creative rebrand.
