24-Hour Creative Marketing Marathon
September 22 – 23, 2022
At BBR Creative, our purpose is to deliver goodwill and growth to the businesses we serve, the people we employ and the communities in which we live. To benefit our community in ways specific to our expertise, we’ve partnered with CreateAthon in order to increase marketing access for local nonprofits.
What is CreateAthon?
CreateAthon is a national organization whose mission is to champion effective, nonprofit marketing through pro bono “creative marathons.” Did we really say marathons? Yes, we did — but it’s not the kind you think!
CreateAthon is a 24-hour marketing blitz where participating agencies cease regular operations to focus their time and talents on marketing for nonprofits in the community. From campaign concepts to strategic recommendations, collateral design, social media development and more, there’s a lot we can accomplish in 24 hours!
In alignment with our corporate giving philosophy, we are specifically selecting to support organizations who focus on family & community welfare, healthcare services, education, youth programs or the arts.
Nonprofits are selected prior to the event, giving representatives time to visit the agency, meet the team, and discuss their organizations’ unique marketing needs. Since our first event in 2019, we’ve served nine nonprofit organizations in Louisiana, donating over $382,000 in marketing services!
All deliverables will be produced on September 22 and presented to the selected nonprofits on September 23.
