Deliverables produced during the blitz include projects that span all aspects of traditional and digital marketing, such as logo design, print collateral, marketing plans, websites, social media assessments, videos, etc.

“Helping these nonprofits is some of the most valuable work we do all year,” says Caitlin Ramsey, TRIO’s CreateAthon coordinator. “It’s important for us to give back and we’re honored to donate our time each year to these deserving nonprofits that provide priceless value to our community.”
