Supported the launch and ongoing communications for the Choose Children campaign, including website, email, earned, digital, and paid media. The campaign encourages California’s next governor to take immediate, decisive action to invest in our young children, and to prioritize early childhood care and education during the first 100 days of their Administration.

The Johnson & Johnson Corporate Citizenship Trust is dedicated to helping the individuals on the front lines of care to reach their greatest impact. In 2016, they collaborated with 71 partners in 37 countries to reach over half a million beneficiaries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I have led the Trust team at Fenton since 2015, including the launch and ongoing management of their digital strategy and the release of their annual reports. This link drives to their 2016 report.

Led strategy, design, development, and copywriting for J&J's presence at One Young World in 2017. This quiz supported a larger on-the-ground effort at the event, which included booth design, event sponsorship, influencer/ambassador engagement, content creation, and paid media.

Led the agency communications team for HP & Kiva's Matter to a Million employee engagement campaign. Kiva’s lending community has helped improve the lives of more than one million borrowers around the world. The Matter to a Million campaign invited HP’s thousands of employees to lend to a small business owner on Kiva. More than 86,000 employees gave over $2.5 million in loans in the first two months of the program to help business owners worldwide grow their businesses and help their communities

Led strategy, design, copywriting, and production of Adobe's 2013 CSR Report. The previous year, our team created an interactive data visualization to represent their CSR impact over a five-year period; the project received a Webby in 2013.

Before it was rebranded to Project 1324, Adobe Youth Voices represented the "creativity" pillar of Adobe's corporate responsibility program. We rebranded Adobe Youth Voices' logo and website, and launched the revamped CSR program with a series of videos to demonstrate their impact. This video highlights their creativity pillar.
