Mark Preece Family House is a Hamilton-based non-profit organization that provides a welcoming home away from home for families with loved ones receiving medical care. Seeking a holiday fundraising campaign that would increase donations and better communicate their warmth and impact, our team developed a strategic campaign solution grounded in creative direction, campaign strategy, brand identity development, visual design, and storytelling. Our concept was selected among peer proposals and successfully implemented, raising over $30,000 to support families staying at the House and demonstrating the power of purposeful, impact-driven design.
