Building a movement

Delta Institute collaborates with communities to solve complex environmental challenges throughout the Midwest. To increase awareness of lake health sustainability efforts for Lake Michigan, we developed a multi-modal campaign: “Love Lake Michigan.” 

This campaign leveraged audiences' existing Great Lakes pride by giving them a way to express their commitment wrapped in an ultra-current aesthetic. A cardstock photo frame paired with a strategic hashtag gave audiences a simple, creative way to get involved in the digital conversation regarding stewardship and sustainability. Campaign materials like die-cut stickers, car window blinds, and t-shirts achieved a fine balance between evergreen Michigan merchandise and tools for advocacy.
