The folks at City Year approached us with the following challenges:
We created an internal web store where City Year’s purchasing agents can make bulk purchases for special events and identity-wear.
We created a full line of products following City Year’s strict branding guidelines. Our designs were pre approved by City Year management.
Social imprints is the perfect partner for us, they align with our values and our mission and they provide great customer service. They are always flexible and go out of their way to help us achieve what we want. Our City Year store has been a big success and helped us provide our corps members, staff, donors and champions a new way to spread their brand loyalty.Andy Dean Senior Creative Director, City Year
