Our project is a full communication strategy and campaign for a non-profit here in St. Louis. The organization we chose was Rung for Women. Rung is an organization that strives to empower women to grow and achieve sustained independence through co-loaded and coordinated educational, professional, and economic resources. They believe that all women should receive holistic support, encouragement, and opportunities that position them to pursue their dreams and thrive as family members, role models, equal wage earners, entrepreneurs, and leaders in their communities. Our campaign will include all components of a strategic communication campaign strategy (executive summary, situational analysis, campaign purpose, big idea strategies and tactics, and budget) to help raise brand awareness and increase membership.
