Our Role
Making Change Media coordinated a national screening tour in four cities for Mental Illness Awareness Week, sponsored by lululemon and ro*co films. For these events, we handled community engagement, promotions, secured venues, created social media toolkits, and developed relationships with seven national and local advocacy organizations, including the National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Eating Disorder Association, and Project Heal, who hosted resource tables at the events to help connect attendees with local resources on mental health and eating disorders.
“I have been so impressed by your ability to manage all of the details and communicate so effectively with everyone, not an easy task. You kept us all well informed and insured that this was a team effort. We are so grateful for your talents. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and your team!”
