Developing the Secure Our World program required sophisticated planning to ensure that the program included adequate reach, creative branding, clear and persuasive messaging, and simple calls to action. In addition, the program needed well-defined metrics to measure not only awareness and engagement, but more importantly, behavioral results 

With Mind & Media’s support, the program launched to great success, with the collateral on track to get hundreds of millions of impressions. 

While working with CISA, Mind & Media created a successful strategy, developed a memorable brand, and produced vivid, brand-aligned collateral.

  • Created a look and feel that would align with the brand, while being flexible, memorable, and inviting.  
  • Supported the program launch event and produced branded items. 
  • Produced a style guide to offer developers of sub-campaigns guidance for future collateral.
