Examples of marketing communications projects for various organizations:

Isaac Ray Center, Inc.
To reflect its leadership role, the Isaac Ray Center, Inc. wanted an updated website presence that would concisely explain its innovative work as the nation’s largest nonprofit provider of mental health services in the juvenile justice system. Based on interviews, research, and on-site visits, the revamped online content describes IRC's groundbreaking efforts and the compassionate IRC professionals who work with some of Chicago's most troubled youths.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Backstage at Symphony Center is a direct marketing piece produced by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra throughout the season.  It spotlights noteworthy concerts, including short interviews and comments by guest artists about their upcoming performances in Chicago.

By establishing a "behind-the-scenes," "backstage" connection between the artist and reader, the CSO positions its concerts in a way that is more personal, relevant, and compelling to the prospective ticket buyer.

Dream Out Loud is a collaborative music education effort between the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Yamaha Corporation.  The project, which is designed to inspire young students in their musical endeavors, includes a series of posters and narratives of four Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians who describe their early musical experiences.

Inside 220, a newsletter produced by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's development department, is written for a large "CSO Family" that includes patrons, corporate and individual donors, and friends of the Orchestra.  Through feature articles, news of upcoming concerts, interviews with musicians, and corporate profiles, Inside 220 provides a look at the people and programs that make the Chicago Symphony Orchestra one of the world's greatest orchestras.  (photo credit:  Todd Rosenberg)
