We may be crazy, but we’ve done it again! This weekend, 100+ marketing industry professionals gathered for our fifth annual Forge54 skilled-giving event. This year, our efforts will benefit the Ocean Institute, a nonprofit organization located in Dana Point that builds a deeper appreciation for the ocean and a better understanding of marine life.

More than 250,000 people visit Ocean Institute each year to take part in the 60+ educational and enjoyable programs offered. We plan on elevating their existing marketing efforts by revamping their brand logo, strategy, and website. Additionally, we will create videos, campaign templates, and social media posts to be used well after the weekend is over. Brand and messaging guidelines and a turnkey solution will be created for easy ongoing implementation.

We’re now 24 hours into the 54-hour push, and the intensity is ramping up. Stay tuned to hear about all of the excitement to come!
