OUR EXPERIENCE
Our team has experience dealing with diverse audiences and developing key messages and communication programming around health-related topics. Let’s take a closer look at our collective experience. Before academia, Dr. Griffin-Padgett served as an account director at Campbell-Ewald Advertising, where she headed the Public Practice Account Group devoted to helping non-profit organizations with meaningful communication programming. She is a Scholar/Practitioner who has continued to provide consulting services throughout her academic career.
Related projects include working with a medical doctor to develop a marketing communications strategy for the pilot of one of his publications, Doctor Magazine. Our team developed content storyboards for the first few issues, an advertising strategy to increase exposure for the publication and connected the doctor with constituents in health fields. Another notable project involved developing brand elements for the Madison Holland Foundation, an organization founded to increase awareness for sickle cell anemia. Our team developed a fundraising event and campaign to connect with younger donors. We developed a logo and brand identity with promotional materials, staffed the event and connected with potential donor organizations for future events.
