Volunteering. Good for you. Good for your city.

 
 

An ad campaign is born

What began as a pro bono partnership with Sid Lee, birthed the NYC Service tagline, "Volunteering. Good for you. Good for your city."

The initial campaign launched in subways and bus shelter spaces in October 2014. The campaign successfully increased the agency's brand awareness across radio, television, out of home advertisements, and online media.

 

Taking an idea and running with it

Volunteering is good for you - there's research to prove it! Volunteering is also good for your city, ask any nonprofit. The initial campaign started with subway ads through New York City, and with some strategic planning and concept development, it became a citywide campaign.
