Together — brand, campaign, and the day itself

Jeremy was brought on as Brand Manager for a national campaign spanning more than 4,000 partners across all 50 states, building toward a generation-defining event on the National Mall in Washington, DC. He created the name and the brand, led the teams generating media for the duration of the campaign, and spoke at the Montage Laguna Beach at an event that raised $4M. The campaign gathered 350,000 people before the event was shut down at 5pm — well before its expected peak attendance. The event brand we developed, Together, went on to gather hundreds of thousands more people over the next three years.
