Pandemic Pending...

Covid-19 testing is a must to stop the spread. Check out this [creative campaign] for Test Up MKE, a Covid-19 testing, information, and support platform based in Milwaukee, WI.

https://www.testupmke.com/

Using creative means to get the word out to the URBAN, authentic, "minority" and creative community, we partnered in a collaboration that involved local artists, graphic designers, screen printers, photographers, models, journalists and health partners. [We used Covid-19 safety methods, because we are trying to liveeeeeeeee B!]

This campaign features t-shirt designs that include verbiage and imagery that not only reaffirms the importance of Covid-19 testing, but also pays homage to cultural cues, lifestyle and satire. With a graphic tee, a poppin' mask and of course a fresh pair of kicks, we can make being #SociallyResponsible fly!

Spread knowledge. Spread creativity. Stop the spread of Covid-19 by getting tested.

Check out this small [campaign] slideshow on why #SupportTheLocal means so much more to us as a [local] creative media company. For the last 6+ years we have been operating with a non-profit business model in a very competitive for-profit industry. Any income we have received has been reinvested into the company so that we could expand our reach, network, and [actively] invest and serve our community. In a society were our attention is over saturated with content, at CopyWrite we try our best to create meaningful engagement that helps shift the narrative for [real] progress, in hopes for a better tomorrow. We hope that next time you are in need of any Creative Media Services, you turn to local media [like CopyWrite] and join the mission to cultivate our communities.
