Solution

Starting with Strategy, BrandHrt SMC produced a mission video that captured the United Way of Washtenaw County stakeholders’ concerns while still honoring the spirit of United Way Global's objectives.  We achieved this symbiosis by identifying and building upon a driving concern among donors, ‘How much impact do my dollars really make?” This key insight informed the communications model that was used to derive the video’s compelling theme and narrative: “One moment of support can spark a lifetime achievement.”   

 

Outcome

BrandHrt SMC produced a body of work around this one theme that includes the primary campaign kick-off video, a collection of video stories, articles, and a landing page experience. These creative assets were used during the official Kick-Off Ceremony, in social media postings, and in the newsletter.  In addition, these assets are now part of the United Way of Washtenaw County's marketing toolkit as evergreen content for future fundraising initiatives.
