Mélissa and me at the beautiful OBM Women’s Shelter Café

I recently had the opportunity to return to my home town to meet with the wonderful people at the Old Brewery Mission in Montreal as we continue our creative work together on an exiting project to launch next fall.

OBM Foundation Communications Manager Mélissa Bellerose was a charming host as she showed off OBM’s impressive facilities – merci Mélissa!

OBM is Quebec’s largest organization offering shelter and transitional services to homeless individuals. I was  impressed by the range of services, the clean and well-designed facilities, and the respect for the clientele evident in a myriad of details. I am so proud to be helping OBM achieve their audacious goal of ending homelessness in Montreal.

Welcome Maker Junior!

 

Welcome Maker Junior

Cute Robot!

Do you know about the Maker Movement? Representing an extension of DIY culture, Maker Culture  aims to harness creativity and inventiveness in an ever-expanding audience bored with being passive users of technology. Typical interests enjoyed by the maker culture include engineering-oriented pursuits such as electronics, robotics, and 3-d printing. As a life-long maker of things myself, I was thrilled to be asked to do branding and design for new initiative aimed at sparking geeky creative genius in kids, Maker Junior. In this Skype video meeting screen capture, Maker Junior’s founder Alison is showing me an example of a pilot Maker Junior project.

Welcome Maker Junior!

We made it! After over a year of hard work and dedication to transforming the Regent Park Film Festival into something bigger, better than it was (while remaining passionately true to its committment to local communities), Opening Night was at the Daniels spectrum was a resounding success. So cool to see everything come together… can’t wait to start working on next year’s festival ;-)

This just in from the Regent Park Film Festival: “We are very excited to announce the artistic brain behind our new look, our Art Director, Sherri Gallowitz. Our new look launches later in the summer but we couldn’t wait to introduce you to Sherri!”

It was such a thrill for me to see this announcement in today’s Regent Park Film Festival e-newsletter. I’ve been hard at work with the RPFF creative team on the new festival branding, website and much, much more – I can’t wait until the launch!

G is for… Green Brandstorm!

Sherri facilitates the Green Citizen Brand Exploration Session at Seneca College

The Office of Eco-Seneca initiatives (OESi) at Seneca College was developed to promote awareness and increase knowledge of environmental and sustainability issues throughout Seneca, and beyond. OESi’s most recent initiative is Seneca Green Citizen Campaign. As an important step in branding the campaign, G Strategic was thrilled to have the opportunity to consult directly with Green Citizen’s primary audience – the students.

Sherri designed and facilitated a series of “brandstorming” sessions to question student’s potential engagement prior to the full campaign launch in 2012/2013. Three classes of students from the Green Business Management and Marketing programs were asked: “What would it take to get ALL Seneca students excited about being Green Citizens?” Participants were invited to brainstorm ideas that would raise awareness, generate interest and enthusiasm among their fellow students for the campaign.

Direct consultation allows an organization to base communications strategy on solid ground, increasing the probability of successfully reaching strategic objectives. G Strategic believes strongly in the added value of brandsorming!
