Thank You, First Responders!

National First Responders' Day is today. Take a moment to thank a first responder for all of the amazing, life-risking work they do to keep you and the community safe!

We have had the honor of working with our local First Responders on multiple occasions to promote safety within the community of Apex and surrounding areas. We couldn't be prouder to call these brave men and women friends. Outreach and awareness about programs that keep us safe is a critical part of their service in the community- branding is a part of those key messages.


Check out some of our favorite moments featuring both police and firefighters!

Apex Police Department

The Apex Police Department was faced with a challenge. What was a promotional item that was fun for employees but engaging in the community. The solution? A stress squeeze shaped like a donut - police need their crime fight fuel, right? The officers loved it! The donut was a great gag item to pull pranks with by placing them in a real donut box, not to mention they were a hit on social media!


Apex Fire Department 

If you follow us on social media, you may have seen this photo of Miranda and I with David Dillon, Apex's Deputy Fire Marshal. We have the opportunity to work with David and the Apex Fire Department on various projects, such as their fire safety program. We are always on the lookout for fun and engaging ways to help the fire department educate children on fire safety.

One of our favorite things about working in Downtown Apex is seeing the friendly faces of our First Responders. These brave men and women have a very serious and important job but they are still everyday people who enjoy having fun. We love that they take the time to come visit us, whether it be to take goofy photos or just to see how our day is going. They are part of the fabric of our community and we are thankful to know them. #communityfirst!
