John Cotton Dana Award-Winning Campaign
Library Card Campaign | BEST. DEAL. EVER!
While working with the Niles-Maine District Library, I contributed to content creation, designed the branded look, and implemented the BEST. DEAL. EVER! campaign—a sixteen-month initiative launched during Library Card Sign-Up Month in September 2018 and concluded in December 2019. The campaign aimed to increase library card sign-ups by promoting the card’s money-saving value.
The challenge was translating the campaign message into a compelling visual identity and launching it with a brochure that clearly communicated the library’s cost-saving features. The brochure cover featured a hand holding a library card, visually expressing the campaign’s promise. The inside front cover flap highlighted library materials, paired with a prominent cost-savings figure and the call to action “Sign Up and Save,” clearly illustrating the value of a library card. The inside spread centered on a library card–themed fridge magnet displaying library hours, surrounded by content showcasing the card’s VIP benefits with fun, engaging copy.
I also created a wide range of branded materials for both print and digital platforms and supported the rollout of "Show Your Card. Get a Deal!", a local business partnership that offered exclusive discounts to library cardholders.
