Year-End Training: Designers

This post will detail everything you need to know for year-end campaigns from a creative aspect.

Watch this video overview of all creative projects for Year End Campaigns.

Highlights: 
– Tell stories. Names, faces, people, quotes, etc. 

– Dynamic, high-quality pictures & videos as much as possible

– Consistent brand/theme but variation in our emails to keep them engaging and interesting

– Strong calls to action with very specific asks (make this clear graphically) 

Below are examples/links to past campaigns:

 

DIGITAL

Step One: Branding – Adrienne will help with this and provide direction along with the writer to get ideas flowing and approved from the client. Ideally we want to give 2-3 options for clients to view and pick from. 

 

Example brand guides/story boards:

HEAL Ministries- With Them  

EKISA 

Hope Clinic – Radiant 

 

Email Series

  • Most clients (6-8 emails)

  • Things to consider: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Giving Tuesday

  • Vary your graphics. Some with larger headers, some with faces, some with dynamic quotes and stats, etc. Be creative with your buttons and CTA graphics (see examples)

  • At least 1-2 emails with limited graphics (seem to come straight from the Director, CEO)

SWAT 2022 (30 Years)

Blue Sky Global 2022
