The New Corporation Film & App
Project Description
Following up on the hit 2003 documentary, The Corporation, the "unfortunately necessary sequel" premiered at TIFF in September 2020. Like the first film, we are the grassroots team behind the impact campaign, dedicated to harnessing the power of this film to change the corporate form.
We developed the website and a story-sharing app featuring videos about those affected by the issues, and how they tackle corporate power, grassroots organizing and challenges to democracy. We run social media and email marketing campaigns, engaging with supporters and joining in solidarity with allies from around the world.
We are also distributors using our Cool.World platform for streaming events and for the eventual release of the educational version.

Antibiotic Wise: Say NAAAH! Campaign
Project Description
We have teamed up with Antibotic Wise and the BC Centre for Disease Control on their "Say NAAAH!" Campaign. It is important to only use antibiotics when they are needed. While antibiotics are warranted for some dental procedures, many toothaches and oral infections do not require antibiotics. However, based on your procedure and medical history, your dentist may recommend an antibiotic. Always let your dentist know about any medical conditions or changes to your health. In addition, antibiotics do not work for viruses like the flu. These two campaigns have been getting high visibility on the Vancouver transit platforms and in buses! We have also created several videos.

Let's Involve Women in Village Budgeting! e-Course
Project Description
We developed an e-learning course for Oxfam Canada that was part of a larger “Power Up” women’s empowerment project in Indonesia, which encourages women’s participation in the budgeting process. This interactive module inspires women to get the issues they care about on the village agenda and funded, while providing tips on how to navigate the process and overcome barriers.
To make the process more relatable and overcome low literacy barriers, we created a series of animated videos following the journey of a young Indonesian woman expecting her first child. The responsive HTML 5 course is optimized for mobile users and will be made available online as a web-application or it can downloaded offline as a free-standing module for desktop users. The videos with both Indonesian and English closed captions are also be available. This project has been very well received in the Indonesian villages it was intended for.

Naloxone Wakes You Up
Project Description
We created a video that trains youth how to recognize and respond to an overdose for the BC Centre for Disease Control's Take Home Naloxone program. We also worked with Inner City Youth to put together an art booklet based on a research project with street-involved youth in Vancouver who were asked about their experience with the program. Some of their meaningful comments are featured alongside illustrations by youth artists. Since these projects overlapped, we were able to work the youths' material into the video as well. Read a blog post for more details.

Vancouver Coastal Health - Sneezes+Diseases
Project Description
After creating a series of graphics for Vancouver Coastal Health's Communicable Disease Control Program to use in their outreach materials, we developed a new website under the brand identity, “Sneezes+Diseases.” Their first website, VCH CDC needed a user-friendly solution to manage their program's content and resources that would operate in tandem with a myriad of VCH web properties. The site includes password protected areas, integrated news and resource feeds targeted to multiple audiences, and an online manual for disease control training.
We worked closely with VCH CDC to organize and adapt their content and resources into audience friendly formats, and build them a website customized to their unique needs.
