The iLocal™ Brand

At Idaho Radio, we believe in the power of connection. Our use of the "i" in our branding is inspired by the innovative spirit of Steve Jobs, who used it to represent the internet's transformative power. Just as Jobs envisioned individual Macs becoming exponentially more powerful when interconnected in a worldwide web, we see the potential for Idaho's independent local businesses and communities to amplify their impact through technological connection

For us, the "i" stands for Idaho, of course. But more importantly, it represents our commitment to preserving and enhancing the iLife™ - the unique character, values, and way of life that define our state. It's a symbol of unity, bringing together the diverse voices, independent local businesses, and communities that make our state unique and, thus, preserve our cherished iLife™.

Our vision is to connect Idaho's local businesses through a unified technology platform, link Idahoans to these local entrepreneurs with a directory website and mobile app, and make it easy for Idahoans to put their money where their heart is using the iCard™ – an eGift card only redeemable at iLocal™ businesses. These initiatives are all designed to strengthen the fabric and uniqueness of our communities and thus preserve the iLife™ we cherish.

Interestingly, as we developed our brand, we discovered a deeper resonance with Jobs' vision. Beyond "internet," he explained that the "i" also stood for "individual, instruct, inform, and inspire." These concepts align well with our own mission, reflecting a shared understanding of technology's potential to empower and unite.

The "i" in our branding represents our core values: innovation, independence, and the idea that individuals can make a difference. From iRadio™ to iVote™, iMusic™, iDonate™, iCreate™ and beyond, our "i" branding is more than just a prefix. It's a promise to our community - a commitment to leveraging technology to connect, empower, and elevate Idaho's unique voice.

By embracing the "i", we're not just building a brand. We hope to create a movement that celebrates the spirit of Idaho and the power of connection. It's our way of saying that together, we can become something greater than the sum of our parts, preserving the best of our past while focusing firmly on Idaho's future. This is how we protect and nurture the iLife™ - by empowering Idahoans to shape and maintain the unique character of our communities.
