Presenting Problem
The Center for Creative Photography is a research collection of fine art photography whose mission includes promoting dialogue and engagement with the community of students, philanthropists, collectors, and enthusiasts—in Tucson and across the globe. With new leadership on its way, strong staff engagement, and enthusiastic support for last year’s event, the Ansel Adams Birthday Event is an opportunity to strengthen the Center’s position and lay the groundwork for future programming.
Solution
We developed a concept for the Event, brand positioning that identifies the target constituents, and messaging to enable the event to firmly establish the Center uniquely and favorably. The top level goals to expand the pool of supporters at the bottom of the funnel and strengthen existing supporters’ propensity to donate was very successful. Tactical deliverables to support the strategy included: print invitation, print ad invitation, Photograph Magazine display ad, OnMedia display ad, poster, and email invitation.
Project highlights
Our efforts we're rewarded with record attendance at the event and abundant positive feedback. Donations and membership increased as a result. The design execution guided by a concise strategy was highly effective. We were fortunate to be part of the celebration for a revered artist.
