PDDG Design Notes – February 2022

-ISSUE 025-

Happy 45th Anniversary to PDDG!

As February comes to a close, we’ve had a blast celebrating our 45th anniversary and all the other exciting events this month! From Black History Month to the Super Bowl, where some on our team admittedly allowed the Half Time Show to transport us back to the 90s (and we may or may not have “dropped it like it’s hot” a little too much and needed ibuprofen the next day), to Valentine’s Day, to the coolest day of the month: TWOSDAY (2/22/2022) where we celebrated with too many tacos. But who can blame us? It was National Margarita Day and Taco Tuesday after all!

And as we’ve reveled in the fun, we’ve also reveled in the many client projects and initiatives we’ve undertaken in various industries: transportation, economic development, higher education and more. With the first quarter of the calendar year fully underway, we look forward to helping and guiding our clients in all their marketing and visual communications efforts.

TRANSPORTATION

As we celebrate 15 years of partnership with the California Transportation Commission (CTC), we are pleased to share our latest project: the 2021 Annual Report to the California Legislature.

Each year, our creative team works closely with CTC to design and develop an annual report and a summary brochure to complement the annual report. The project is highly creative and is typically completed within a relatively tight production schedule. Our team is grateful for the long-standing partnership with CTC.

View the 2021 Annual Report and all previous years.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

PDDG has proudly served as the marketing agency of record for the Maricopa Economic Development Alliance (MEDA) for several years and has partnered with the organization for nearly 15 years. Over the past year, we have worked closely with MEDA to craft high-caliber, informative collateral pieces that highlight the City of Maricopa’s many assets, including a highly educated and skilled workforce, convenient access to the Greater Phoenix marketplace, a pro-business climate, and a high quality of life with many available amenities.

View the MEDA website to learn more about the organization and to view some marketing collateral deliverables produced in collaboration with MEDA.

HIGHER EDUCATION

We are proudly celebrating four years of partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE), a global not-for-profit that designs and implements international education strategies and program services in partnership with governments, policymakers, educators, and employers across the globe to prepare students and professionals for the global workforce.

Over the past four years, PDDG has served as the marketing agency of record for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, as well as supported marketing efforts of the Boren Awards and Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program.

NOTEWORTHY

PDDG is heading to DC! Our team will be attending the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) Forum in April. As many of our workforce friends are aware, there will not be an exhibit hall at this year’s event so PDDG won’t have a reserved space to visit with our workforce friends. But we certainly want to meet and chat with you!

Reach out to us prior to the event and we’ll be sure to schedule dedicated time with you while at the event. We look forward to talking with you!
