Stronger San Diego
Case Study
Role: Communications Director
Deliverables: Communications Strategy, Brand Development, Digital Ad Strategy, Creative Design
The Outcome: New brand identity, website, social media presence, digital advertising campaign
The Challenge
Our client, well-known as a homeless advocate, wanted to create a new advocacy brand and platform that was distinct from established homeless advocate branding. This new advocacy brand would push for real solutions to homelessness, hold local leaders accountable, and encourage voters to become more politically engaged around issues of homelessness.
Our Approach
We started our planning process with an in-depth conversation with the client to better understand his needs and wishes. We wanted the name to reflect on how San Diego would benefit from stakeholders working together. After some research, we landed on Stronger San Diego with a sun representing a brighter future for the whole city and it’s residents. This project included a website that focused on issue positions and targeted the positions of specific candidates running for the San Diego City Council. The final implementation of the program was both an organic social media and digital advertising program to advocate on behalf of and against certain candidates running for the City Council in 2018.
