When MonarchDIRECT, the leading commercial sign in Port Charlotte, Florida, was approached by Matthews-Currie Ford in Nokomis to redefine their dealership’s atmosphere, the task was accepted with enthusiasm. The mission was clear: to create a wall graphic that would embody the essence of Ford and engage the vibrant local culture that connects Nokomis, Florida and beyond.

Print Shop Tailored Creativity

The journey began with a comprehensive vision-sharing session. The team at Monarch Direct’s one-stop shop for marketing and the management of Matthews-Currie Ford laid the groundwork for a project that would later transform the dealership’s space. In these initial discussions, the importance of wall graphics and art were evident to tell the story. It was not about crafting a mere wall sticker; it was about creating a narrative that captured hearts.

Artistry in Commercial Sign Installation

Frank Rossi, Director of Commercial Signs, Wraps & Design at Monarch Direct, went beyond traditional design—he was the maestro guiding the commercial sign design, fabrication, and installation to perfection. Drawing from the rich archives of the Library of Congress and leveraging the power of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Frank was able to weave a tapestry of local Nokomis flair with the innovative spirit of Ford. His process involved meticulous research, iterative design, and a keen understanding of the local narrative to ensure the wall art was nothing short of spectacular.

Commercial Sign Companies Expertise Delivers An Immersive Experience

The result of Monarch Direct’s commercial sign team’s prowess was transformative. The newly installed wall graphic became more than just an interior business sign; it was a window into the soul of the Ford legacy. Customers stepping into Matthews-Currie Ford were now greeted with a visual symphony that married local Floridian pride with the revolutionary spirit of Ford, thanks to the thoughtful commercial signs crafted by the MonarchDIRECT team.

The true measure of Monarch Direct’s impact shines through in the client's own words:

Monarch Direct Top Notch from start to project completion.

I initially reached out about our vision and what we hoped to accomplish.

Mike Bladorn, the owner of Monarch Direct, and one of his associates set up an appointment to meet with Matthews Currie Ford’s management and ownership.

They came in, we discussed, took notes, and gave us insight and items to consider.

This was a large scope project and this job was not a done deal, we had a lot to discuss as a company.

After months of phone calls and emails with the Monarch Team, they were a tremendous asset and help throughout the process. Frank the designer had to change many details and he was phenomenal in doing so, we kept the communication open.

Once we were happy with everything, they came to measure and finalize things one more time.

On the day of Installation, a professional team of employees from Monarch Direct started the process of the wall mural. Keep in mind that we were open for business, and they were seamless and not a disruption whatsoever. They were kind, caring, and respectful of our clients and staff.

The wall’s completion certainly adds a pop and classy touch of history and the achievements of Ford Motor Company, Matthews Currie Ford, and our Local Florida Historical touch and points of interest.

A good team starts at the Top, and hats off to Mike Bladorn and the entire staff for making our vision a reality and a permanent fixture in the dealership.
