UCI: Humanities

UCI: Humanities Center

Humans Helping Humans Elevating and maintaining
brand standards across the UCI School of Humanities.

The UCI School of Humanities is where future leaders, communicators, scholars, CEOs, storytellers, creatives, directors, writers, and entrepreneurs come to get their start. Over the past several years, 789 has worked with the faculty and staff of UCI HUM to help elevate its brand, reach donors, and connect with students. In addition, we created a new, cohesive brand platform for their on-campus Humanities Center. We had to maintain the UCI brand rules and standards while creating a flexible yet prominent look and feel. We incorporated bright colors and structural elements to create consistency while developing navigational elements, encapsulations, focal points, and highlights. The branding was applied across the school via digital, print, and experiential points of contact. 789 continues to provide UCI Humanities support for multiple digital and web graphics, social media, and video. These include, but are not limited to, website and mobile banners, digital signage, and many animated GIFs used for website and email outreach. We have also developed and designed UCI Humanities outreach materials and signage for print, including the design, layout, and delivery of print-ready artwork for multiple annual publications like the Graduate Program Brochure, Undergraduate Brochure, Case Statement, Impact Statement, the Annual Report, and many other materials that could be socialized and celebrated.

CACM: Community Champions

CACM: Community Championship

Your HOA deserves a champion

Home is where memories are made and families created. It’s probably one of the largest investments you’ll ever make. With a home comes a fair share of responsibilities. If you live in a homeowners association (HOA), there’s someone who can help. The California Association of Community Managers (CACM) believes your community deserves a Champion. CACM is proud of their California-certified Community Managers and needed a component-based campaign to educate and create awareness across the State of California.

789 worked closely with lead consultant Frank Wilson & Associates (FW&A) to deliver a dynamic campaign that was comprised of grassroots marketing and traditional advertising. Ultimately, our goal was to help position CACM certified managers as “Champions” for your neighborhood, working tirelessly to provide peace of mind and improve the quality of life for you and your neighbors. You can learn more about how a California-certified Community Manager can make a difference for your homeowners’ association by visiting: www.MyCommunityChampion.com
