After 90 years in business, Capitol Lighting’s legacy brand needed an update. Their e-commerce platform, 1800Lighting.com was quickly growing. But without brand management, it also risked diluting 90 years of equity.
So, how do you merge brick-and-mortar legacy with a new digital mindset—without compromising either?
We began with a brand visioning workshop to highlight the original, 1924 principles—translating them into practices for modern shoppers.
After combining look-alike persona insights with lots of research about our real customers, On Ideas found the right language to make the intangible, tangible—identifying Capitol Lighting’s relevance and how to do business.

According to consumer data, homeowners usually repaint in the Spring to freshen things up. So we co-opted that little insight and twisted it for lighting.
