Project BIG fish is proud to be among the winners of the 16th Annual Communicator Awards as announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. With thousands of entries received from across the US and around the world, the Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring the creative excellence for communication professionals.
Project BIG fish is honored with an award in the Not-for-Profit category for "A Story of Hope" – an integrated marketing campaign for Gede Foundation. The project centered around a rebranding effort for this global non-profit foundation helping to spread awareness, education and medical help around HIV issues in Africa. Working with Gede, the Nigeria Film Commission and the Government of Nigeria, Project BIG fish produced a documentary-style video that anchored the roll-out of the new Gede Foundation identity. The work included a new logo, website, print collateral and "success report" - a printed depiction of the history and stories of success over the first 8 years of the foundation's work.
Said Thomas Frank, Creative Director of Project BIG fish, "This is the type of campaign that is a winner on many levels. Our client is doing incredible work in Africa and just being able to document that effort and see it first hand was an amazing experience. I can only hope we have the opportunity to work with more clients in the nonprofit sector like Gede that may need a hand in bringing awareness to their cause and monumental efforts."
