Two years of partnership, growth, and great work with Welcome Group. Proud to help shape their brand, tell their story, and support the team as they continue to grow.

A look inside their new Houston headquarters. ✨

What an incredible year building up to one of the biggest events and activations Houston has ever seen ⚽️

We’ve spent the last year working alongside East Downtown to get the neighborhood ready for its biggest moment yet. From coordinating the murals that turned these walls into landmarks, to press, digital, and immersive social media management, our job was to tell the story of EaDo: its businesses, its artists, and its energy.

The FIFA Fan Festival™ arrived and over 1 million visits to the neighborhood. 606,000+ unique visitors from all 50 states. 197 media markets reached. Millions of digital views.

Our goal was never one big moment but it was to build momentum. We’re proud to have helped build something that will keep this incredible community growing.

📝 Every project starts with a brief.

The best work often starts with the questions behind it.

That’s the inspiration behind Beyond the Brief, our new Insights series exploring the thinking behind branding, communications, public relations, and marketing.

We hope these articles spark new ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and offer a different perspective on the work we all do.

💡Press release to podium. Media strategy to the moment lights came on.

50 solar lights just illuminated a historic trail with 250+ more on the way. Thrilled to orchestrate last week’s press conference for Phase 1 of the Columbia Tap Trail initiative—a $7.5M community investment years in the making. With Mayor Whitmire, Council Members, and incredible district partners, we celebrated infrastructure that connects people to opportunity.

Excited to share the latest at Uptown Park, with a new wave of retail and dining concepts continuing to elevate the project’s mix and experience.

From first-to-Texas brands like Joe & The Juice (just announced) to the recent openings of Design Within Reach and LAZZONI, it’s a strong reflection of how thoughtfully the destination continues to evolve.

We’ve had the opportunity to support Uptown Park for nearly a decade, spanning public relations, brand, and placemaking strategy. It’s been incredible to watch its transformation into one of Houston’s most refined, design-forward retail environments. The consistency in vision and curation by EDENS shows in moments like this.

Proud to be a small part of the story and to continue to work with the team to bring new options to Uptown Houston.

🏛️Downtown Houston Historic Preservation🏛️ After nearly 8 years working on this project with our team, starting with the Raphael and Dorrance buildings, 917 Franklin is complete.

It’s a 1904 building in downtown Houston, originally the Commercial National Bank and one of the earliest skyscrapers in the city’s first financial district. It also once housed the offices of William Marsh Rice and the original offices of the Rice Institute.

Projects like this don’t usually happen in Houston.

Most of the time, buildings like this get torn down. It’s faster. It’s easier. It pencils better.

Dan Zimmerman has continued to invest in preservation, from the buildings along Main Street to La Colombe d’Or, where a historic mansion was restored and expanded into a luxury boutique hotel while maintaining its original character.

917 Franklin now joins those earlier buildings as part of Main&Co, forming a collection of preserved structures in a part of downtown that has long been established.

In a city that tends to replace, choosing to restore is still the harder path. And it’s usually the more meaningful one.
