V2Works Launches New Website for Altavair, Formerly Guggenheim Aviation Partners

V2Works, a branding and design firm, is pleased to announce the launch of a new website for Altavair, formerly Guggenheim Aviation Partners (GAP), a subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC. Altavair recently purchased the commercial aviation division from Guggenheim Partners to operate as an independent business, procuring the help of V2Works to create and launch a complete re-brand of their company, including a new name, identity, collateral, photography, and website. With global operations in Seattle, London and Singapore, Altavair specializes in acquiring, leasing, re-purposing, and selling commercial jet aircraft and engines. Since its inception in 2003, Altavair has completed over $8 billion in commercial aircraft lease transactions — with 40 customers in 27 countries representing over 200 individual Boeing and Airbus aircraft, including direct orders from the manufacturers and 17 [...]

V2Works Teams with Guggenheim Aviation Partners to Launch New Brand

Guggenheim Aviation Partners (GAP), an aircraft investment and management business belonging to Guggenheim Partners, LLC, recently purchased the commercial aviation division to operate as a separate entity. During its tenure as a Guggenheim joint venture, GAP successfully managed two funds for Guggenheim’s clients, completing over $8 billion in commercial aircraft lease transactions — with 40 customers in 27 countries representing over 200 individual Boeing and Airbus aircraft, including direct orders from the manufacturers and 17 freighter conversions. Due to GAP’s long-standing and successful history, they required a strong new brand to present to the market. In their transition to a singular company, GAP sought the help of V2Works to create a new name and identity for their business, with the primary goal being to maintain its position as a premier [...]

Month End Happy Hour (MEHH!) at Beardslee Public House

It’s always hard to tell how the weather might turn out on a September 30th in the Northwest.  It can be rainy and 50, or we can get lucky with warm and sunny conditions.  V2Work’s MEHH (Month End Happy Hour) delivered the latter this time! We took full advantage, enjoying our drinks and multiple appetizers outside at the Beardslee Public House, closing out a very exciting month. We chatted about topics that included the architectural design decisions of adjacent buildings, why Sia chooses to perform without a band onstage, and whether liver pâté is tasty or nasty. (Notice how one little letter can make a big difference?) The vote leaned toward nasty, with just two notable dissents. All in all, it was a great way to close out the month. [...]

Team Marketing Meeting with IDEX Health & Science

The IDEX Health & Science global marketing group traveled from all over the world to Seattle this past August, to collaborate with the V2Works Brandgineers. The entire team spent two full days enclosed in "Andy's Room," a comfy meeting space at McMenamins Anderson School, to plot and create the next big thing. Our joint organizations always have fun working together remotely on the day-to-day, but getting everyone together in the same room is always fruitful for their brand and rewarding for everyone. This meet-up was no exception. After we finished our items of business, the group headed to downtown Seattle for a fun-filled evening of sight-seeing aboard an Argosy Harbor Cruise (complete with sea lions), then enjoyed a seafood feast (with bibs, shellfish mallets and all!) at the Crab Pot along the [...]

Month End Happy Hour (MEHH!) at the Turner Residence

With Labor Day just a week away, the V2Works team closed out the final Friday of August with our Month End Happy Hour at the home of Troy and Kathleen. We basked in the warm glow of a sunny afternoon, as we enjoyed drinks on their beautiful custom-built deck, coupled with some tasty appetizers to nosh on. The conversation turned to good songs for road trips, laughing-inducing face-swapping photo apps, and sharing ideas/plans for the not-too-distant holiday weekend. Nothing “meh” about this happy hour - it was pure MEHH!

Month End Happy Hour (MEHH) at McMenamins Anderson School Patio

The V2 Works team closed out July in a very hot way on a very hot day! On this MEHH, we enjoyed some drinks and snacks outdoors on the McMenamins patio. (Three of us opted for their raspberry-infused ale and found it quite refreshing!) The weather was gorgeous and the group conversation was well-spirited as we went from discussing the summer’s blockbuster movies to adventures in camping and hiking, as well as reminiscing about our day just two weeks earlier visiting Bullwinkle. Unfortunately Troy had to miss this MEHH as he was on his way to Philadelphia for the AACC tradeshow, but a good time was had by those who were in town and could make it! Yikes – July is over. The next one will be just a week [...]

Family Fun Center, Fun V2 Family

In effort to recognize the dedication of our team members, we celebrate with a fun adventure every summer. For our 23rd Annual Summer Outing, the V2Works Brandgineers made merry at Bullwinkles's & Family Fun Center in Tukwila, WA. Before the games, we fueled up with tropical island fare and cocktails at Bahama Breeze, then headed over to the park to hang out with Bullwinkle, Rocky and the gang. The sun was out, the weather was perfect, the mood was carefree, and we had absolutely no trouble at all amusing ourselves with fun activities such as Mini-Golf, Go-Carts, Laser Tag, the Screamin' Swing, Sling Shot, Air Hockey, Skee Ball and more — with a few rounds of Bumper Boats in between to soak each other and cool off. All-in-all the day was [...]

Beard Day at the Office

Today was "Beard" Day at the office. We've all been planing and growing — for what seems like ages — to have perfectly groomed (and matching) beards for this very special day. Or, maybe this is just what happens when you have too much fun with your co-workers during Friday Lunch outings that include creative Apps to play with.  Either way, long live the beard. #V2WackyDay #V2WorksPerks

Month End Happy Hour (MEHH) at Collective On Tap

The place is tucked away in a business park setting, but the atmosphere inside The Collective On Tap made it a great spot to hold the V2Works month-end happy hour (MEHH!) to close out April.  As we chatted about topics ranging from the awesomeness of Prince, to trade shows in Germany, to the muscle-relaxing massages we’d all received earlier in the day, the crew noshed on some creatively tasty appetizers and downed some celebratory suds as we bid adieu to another month.  #V2WorksCulture #V2WorksPerks

Mehh-ssage Day at V2Works

Our annual Employee Massage Day is a fun and relaxing event for all of the V2 team. This year's Massage Day also happened to fall on MEHH (Month End Happy Hour) — hence the post's name 'Mehh-ssage Day.' Each of us were treated to personalized 45-minute massage sessions in the comfort of our make-shift sanctuary, the conference room. With zen Pandora stations strumming in the background, our talented masseuse, Eme, helped each of us feel relaxed and de-stressed. In a nutshell, the day was absolutely incredible! Now that everyone is a complete noodle, we're headed out of the office early to celebrate month end at The Collective on Tap in Woodinville. Thanks to V2Works for your continued generosity and making us all feel completely appreciated (and thanks to Megan, for [...]
