Chartwell Agency, an award-winning marketing firm based in northern Illinois, was recently honored with a Gold Award from the Service Industry Advertising Awards (SIAA) for excellence in service-industry marketing and design.

Chartwell received Gold recognition for its brand identity work of NY Preschool & Kids Club in the Logo and Letterhead Design category.

Formerly known as NY Kids Club, NY Preschool & Kids Club partnered with Chartwell to undergo a full brand transformation that reflected the organization’s expanded programs, innovative curriculum, and commitment to joyful, connected learning for children ages 3 months to 12 years. Chartwell guided the organization through a strategic rebrand that included new messaging and positioning, a refreshed visual identity, comprehensive brand guidelines, and a coordinated rollout strategy across locations and marketing channels.

The rebrand positioned NY Preschool & Kids Club as a modern, family-centered education partner and established a strong foundation for continued growth across New York City.

The Service Industry Advertising Awards recognize outstanding creative work created specifically for service-based organizations, an often-overlooked sector despite its critical role in communities and economies nationwide. Entries are judged by a national panel of industry experts based on creativity, marketing execution, message impact, and overall innovation.

“Our team approaches every project with care, creativity, and a deep respect for our clients’ missions,” said Rebecca Epperson, Founder and CEO of Chartwell Agency. “This Gold Award reflects our ability to translate purpose into powerful, authentic brands that truly connect with the communities they serve.”
