A Giving Heart Foundation
Nurturing a young brand with narrative, messaging and identity.
NEED:
A Giving Heart Foundation was started by the Berk family after their newborn was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease, requiring balloon angioplasty at just one-month-old. CHD, they learned, was common – 1 in 100 kids are born with it. Yet 99% of the heart research funding was going to adults. To help balance that statistic, AGHF needed to develop their brand, expand their reach and awareness and inspire more support.
SOLUTION:
We began by helping them define and prioritize their audiences, and worked with them using our Resonator Brand process. We developed a brand meaning with emotional resonance: AGHF exists to help CHD kids have the childhood they deserve.
This led to a Brand Narrative with key messages for priority audiences, media storylines, and a Brand Identity, one that stood out from the sea of red-hearted sameness they had found themselves in.
We brought this new messaging and identity to life on their website, in their social media spaces, and other donor communications, giving them a much-needed presence.
RESULTS:
With these strong foundations in place, along with learnings from an initial social media “test and learn”AGHF is set up to grow their personal mission into a much bigger rallying cry.
