Case Study: The Columbus Foundation
VENN helped us bring the idea of Kindness to life through a highly creative campaign that was grounded in the brand strategy for the Foundation. The process was highly collaborative and the VENN team was great to work with.
Whitespace: Let’s be kind Columbus.
Kind Columbus has already generated lots of positive impact in the community. We think the name is really strong. We like the mark—it is clean and meaningful.
To us there’s no call for reinvention, but instead an opportunity to build on great momentum. If we can get into the local vernacular and get Columbus citizens to assume ownership, we believe Kind Columbus can become a movement leading us to a better community.

Launch Campaign
Community pride tv/video:
(Citizens state the kindness tenets to camera while in recognizable scenes around the greater
Columbus area)
Here, we’re kind to those who are different.
We’re kind to people older than us.
And people who are smaller.
We’re kind at home.
We’re kind on the streets.
And in other social places.
We’re kind when we’re standing in lines.
And even during rush hour.
We’re especially kind to people who aren’t as lucky as we are.
Those who just need a little hand.
Here, we’re kind to each other.
Because kindness is what makes Columbus our kind of community.
