supporting employers during the COVID-19 pandemic

The Safer. Stronger. Together campaign was formed to support businesses and organizations as they began to reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ultimate goal of this campaign is to keep the Whatcom County community healthy while building consumer confidence and reopening the economy.

support materials

We created the branding and messaging for this project. The campaign was developed alongside the Whatcom County Health Department and included input from dozens of local organizations, including Western Washington University, Whatcom Tourism, multiple Chambers of Commerce, and dozens of local businesses. This project was early on in the COVID pandemic, and design and messaging around this topic was a learning process for everyone.

website

We created a website that features multiple databases of custom content, including downloadable assets, an event management system, and multiple forms for requesting information or signing up to receive a weekly newsletter. The site acts as a hub for the campaign. There is a resource page with posters, fliers, and other documents for employers, and an event page set up so that events can be easily promoted on Facebook, automatically pulling up a specific image and copywriting when the link is posted on social media.

promoting the campaign

We developed social media assets, including images and messaging, and delivered it via an online spreadsheet that made it easy for the team to schedule and track posts. We also delivered a toolkit that allowed them to create new posts independently. Stakeholders were also encouraged to regularly share campaign generated posts.
