Messaging that matters.

Last October, Boom was introduced to a local non-profit organization working to improve education for Spokane County kids. Through our relationship with Communities in Schools, we became aware of a staggering statistic that is overshadowing the success of Spokane’s school system: one out of every three kids in Spokane County drops out of school. That’s right, one out of three.

We couldn’t just let this happen without trying to help. So we did what we do best and partnered up with Communities in Schools to launch an awareness PR campaign called One in Three. With the help of photographer Shane Young, North by Northwest Productions, Johnston Printing, and Lamar Outdoor this campaign grew to include television, direct mail, billboard and html email advertising. The goal was to bring awareness to this problem, as we quickly found out that most people (just like us) were unaware of the issue.

We believe that all advertising and should be viral—it should be something that people pick up and feel compelled to pass along. We’re happy to say this campaign was a great success. Along with a relatively healthy television presence, the campaign received coverage in Spokane Metro magazine, Northwest Women Magazine, and news coverage on KXLY.

In these tough economic times, CIS is working to raise money to fund their programs so that they will be able to bring their services to more schools in Spokane County. We applaud Ben Stuckart for his tireless effort and dedication.
