The IFAI EXPO Americas Marketing Campaign

Industrial Fabrics Association International Expo Americas is the largest specialty fabrics trade show held annually in the United States. The marketing campaign for Expo Americas runs throughout the year with a branding identity applied to brochures, trade magazine ads, party invitations, postcards and web banners.

The trade association's 100th Anniversary was celebrated at the IFAI Expo Americas in Boston. The logo design for the event drew on visual references from the early days of the organization and the patriotic spirit of the 2012 presidential election year.
