America Turns 250: Helm Edition

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for! America officially turns 250 and our city of Philadelphia is in full celebration mode!

It’s already been a full year of our in-house services meeting client needs as events continue to unfold. We’re making the most of this year while staying strategically human in the process. How are you celebrating this epic year?

There are so many reasons to work with Helm, and this year we are highlighting 26 of our favorites!

Here are two that we’d like to highlight this month!

21. Well-certified agency 

WBE, WOSB, DBE, LBE… at Helm, we’ve got them all. When you need an agency that is certified to take on your next project, Helm has you covered. Our insight, experience, and hunger to be a part of as many stories as possible has propelled us to obtain every certification possible. When opportunities arise, we’re ready for them. 

6. Epic print installations

We’re skilled at large print installs, including at iconic venues such as The Fillmore, Brooklyn Bowl, Lincoln Financial Field, and more. We are a trusted vendor with Live Nation Special Events, specifically for printing. When you’re ready to discuss tailored decals, venue capabilities, branding opportunities, and more, we’ll be here.

Philadelphia has been full of events this year, most of them happening this month,  and we are loving it! Thanks to one of our long-time clients, Live Nation Special Events [LNSE], we have tons of experience dreaming through, designing, and printing epic branding for some of Philadelphia’s biggest venues. Each installation with their team is a new and exciting adventure. As we continue to celebrate ten years at Helm, here’s a glimpse of one of our beloved clients!

Live Nation Special Events: Venue-Building Culture

“This place is huge.” It’s a common sentiment when we’re pulling up to a venue or a space, with our tools and installation equipment in tow, ready to create something epic from adhesives, decals, banners, and printed items. We’re a small but mighty team who also appears as expert print installers to take an idea and turn it into a moment. An experience. A memory. 

When we first partnered with Live Nation Special Events [LNSE] in Philadelphia, we immediately knew that they are exceptional at creating experiences. They cultivate events that not only have attendees wanting to relive the moments that they shared in their spaces, but that are photographed, captured on video, and reminisced over for years to come. We’ve found our niche in celebrating what LNSE brings to our city while supporting them through activating a vision into a tangible, walk through opportunity. 

Over the years, we’ve established a trust and a symmetry in executing events that has resulted in Helm being a preferred partner for print in the LNSE spaces where people and organizations, even world-class talent, come from all over the world to be a part of unique moments unfolding within our city. 

With strategic decision making, gaffers tape, plastic squeegees, and a truck full of printed items we’ll bring to an install, we recognize the meetings, the vision, and the storytelling that happens through each and every printed item. The venues may remain the same over time but the magic is in the way LNSE sees each venue as a canvas and an opportunity to make something new and unique with each headliner that comes through.
