Turning 30 years of impact into one cohesive story

An anniversary platform that connected organizational history, current conservation work, and the next chapter across every audience touchpoint.

The challenge

A milestone could easily become a retrospective. The opportunity was to use 30 years of work to help people understand the Foundation’s statewide role, discover its breadth, and see why the next chapter mattered.

My role

I developed the campaign architecture and led implementation across my direct report, agency partners, and colleagues throughout the organization. Deliverables included a new logo, video, web experience, 30 impact stories, print and digital ads, a magazine, postcard mailer, and email campaign.
