American Mothers
Life on the Mother Side
Social, PR, Direct Mail, Video, Print, Web
Since 1935, American Mothers, Inc. (AMI) has searched for and selected a Mother of the Year® in every state, district, and territory in the country, along with selecting one of those honorees as the National Mother of the Year®. With the onset of COVID-19, AMI moved its annual convention to a virtual celebration, bringing together members, past and present honorees, grant winners, and moms across the nation via Zoom. For the last two years, we have planned, produced, promoted, and themed AMI’s national convention to increase attendance year after year.

This year’s theme, Life on the Mother Side, inspired art direction for all convention materials.
Themed animations and graphics welcomed participants to the convention, highlighted interviews with all 37 Mother of the Year® honorees, and announced award recipients.
Each 2022 Mother of the Year® was mailed a gift package celebrating their selection as a state honoree. The package included an annual publication celebrating the organization, its mission, and past and present state honorees, a card highlighting their assigned breakout room during convention, and an array of congratulatory merch.
While the convention remained virtual for attendees, this year’s hosts (also AMI board members) were able to join us in Sioux Falls—all the way from Nebraska, Montana, and Washington D.C.—for an in-studio experience coordinated and designed by Fresh Produce.
RESULTS: Attendance rose from 85 participants in 2021 to 106 participants in 2022, surpassing our goal of 100 attendees.

Independent research and conversations with faculty, staff, and students informed what makes BHSU a special place to study and grow. Early in the process, we explored some of the most common themes from heritage and growth to nature and adventure.
Through committee and campus-wide feedback, we learned how important it was to honor BHSU history while acknowledging the role Spearfish plays in creating “a whole life” for people who call BH home.
Lutheran Social Services
LSS Centennial
Video, Billboard, Digital, Website
Care, love, strength, humanity, and personal stories take many shapes. The hallmark of LSS’s mission of service is that is has remained the same for a full century, even as the shape and scope of that mission changes to meet the needs of the changing shapes of the communities it serves.
Billboard, Digital, Website
As a vital and nimble organization that is always looking ahead to meet the needs of its clients, the LSS centennial mark and messaging we designed is as much about looking toward the next century of LSS as much as its first.
The scope of LSS’s work has grown dramatically over their first 100 years, with a wide range of services that intersect with each other and the organization’s mission. This intersection was at the heart of the campaign’s billboard, digital, and web art.
