This year we teamed up with the Delaware Arts Alliance to support the official launch of the CREATE Plan—a new initiative that`s all about building a thriving creative and cultural tourism sector in Delaware.
Ahead of the 2024 unveiling, our team set to work developing a full-scale, multi-channel marketing and communications campaign. It was an interesting challenge to help define and reach a broad audience for this campaign—Delawareans who work in, support, and advocate for the state’s diverse creative economy. Inclusivity and representation were of top priority. For this project, we put together a messaging strategy that would showcase the full scope and impact of the CREATE Plan—including a new webpage, organic social media campaign, paid ad support, slide decks, one-page resource guides in multiple languages, a communications tool kit, and more.
It`s been an honor to be part of this project and the exciting work that @deartsalliance is doing for creatives in Delaware. We`re also thrilled to share that our collaboration with DAA has been recognized with a Platinum Award by MarCom—an international competition recognizing the creativity and hard work of marketing industry professionals.

POV: You stopped by First Ascent headquarters yesterday and found your favorite marketing experts replaced by an astronaut, a cowboy, witches (of both the sea and the delivery service variety!), a black cat, and other spooky friends.
Needless to say, we had a great time celebrating Halloween, but now that it’s November, the spell has worn off and we’re back in familiar form. Except for the masked creature that’s taken up residence in our conference room. She told us that she’s here to stay and that she likes coffee.
Here’s hoping you had a fun holiday and that you stashed away all the best pieces of candy before the trick-or-treaters arrived. Until next year, Happy Halloween! 👻
