A good idea has
somewhere to go.

A campaign on the block. A mobile clinic people recognize. A message shaped by young people. A summer with more places to belong. Different challenges bring different disciplines together. The people stay at the center.

01 / The challenge

A different message needed to be heard.

People deserve to be seen for the future they can build. Advance Peace’s work is grounded in trusted relationships, mentorship, and opportunity. The campaign needed to carry that belief into public spaces with a voice that felt direct, familiar, and human.

The perspective

Being seen can be the beginning of something different.

We Want to See You Win puts encouragement at the center of the message. Real portraits and plain language make room for hope, healing, and accountability. The invitation is personal: tap into support, choose connection, and see a future worth moving toward.

02 / INPOWER’s role

Give a shared belief a public voice.

INPOWER developed the campaign alongside the direction of the Advance Peace fellowship program and Milwaukee County. We connected the central message with a flexible creative system that partners could carry into neighborhoods, conversations, and community events.

01

Campaign idea & voice

An encouraging central message with a family of headlines about connection, healing, and possibility.

02

Portrait led creative

A recognizable visual system built around human portraits, bold type, and the campaign’s yellow, white, and blue accents.

03

Print & advertising applications

Creative for transit advertising, posters, outreach materials, and digital communication.

04

Community activation

Campaign messaging and materials that support neighborhood gatherings, partner outreach, and peace events.

04 / What moved forward

One message. Many ways to show up.

The work gives partners a shared language that can move from an ad to a shirt to a conversation. The campaign has also been carried into community peace events, including the October 2026 Community Peace & Pep Rally with appearances from the Milwaukee Bucks.

01 / The challenge

The science matters. So does the first impression.

A mobile screening initiative has to introduce a complex service clearly and build trust before a first visit. Screening for Life needed a public identity that could work on a large vehicle, at a community event, and in a partner conversation without losing the people at the center of its purpose.

The perspective

Access begins with understanding, familiarity, and trust.

We brought the promise of care closer to everyday life. Clear language explains the purpose. A bright, connected visual identity makes the initiative easy to recognize. The fleet, printed materials, and public communication work together as one introduction to the program.

02 / INPOWER’s role

Connect the program’s purpose with a recognizable public presence.

INPOWER supported the initiative’s brand and communication work, translating the program into visual applications and materials for outreach. That work included mobile unit artwork, event displays, informational collateral, and digital presentation of the initiative.

01

Brand identity & language

A clear public identity and people centered message for Screening for Life Wisconsin.

02

Fleet branding

Colorful vehicle graphics that carry the identity into the communities the program is designed to reach.

03

Outreach & event materials

Banners, display applications, flyers, and informational materials that help partners explain the initiative.

04

Digital communication

A connected presentation of the program’s purpose, fleet, and partnership opportunity.

03 / The work, up close

04 / What moved forward

A connected identity, ready to travel.

The result is a recognizable brand across fleet graphics and community communication. It gives the initiative a consistent way to introduce its purpose, explain a developing mobile screening model, and invite local partners into the work.

01 / The challenge

Make room for an honest conversation.

Mental health communication has to feel close enough to use. The young people behind 1More wanted to break silence and stigma with a message grounded in the small moments of support they recognize in their own lives.

The perspective

A message carries differently when young people help shape it.

1More turns connection into something concrete: another conversation, another check in, another reason to reach out. Youth ambassadors brought lived perspective to the message and creative. Their personalities, words, and relationships became part of how the campaign shows up.

02 / INPOWER’s role

Support the people behind the message.

INPOWER supported youth engagement, community relationships, and campaign activation alongside the young people and the broader creative team. Our ongoing support also connects outreach planning and partner development with the campaign’s longer term sustainability.

01

Youth participation & engagement

Space for young people to contribute perspective, build confidence, and help shape the work.

02

Partner coordination

Connections among youth ambassadors, creative professionals, and community organizations.

03

Campaign launch & outreach

Support for bringing the message into public conversation and carrying it into community networks.

04

Ongoing campaign support

Outreach planning and partnership development that help the youth led model continue to grow.

01 / The challenge

Young people told us what was missing.

Summer evenings and weekends can bring more freedom and fewer welcoming places to go. Young people called for safe spaces, trusted adults, meaningful activities, and a real voice in what came next. Partners needed to turn that input into a coordinated response across schools and neighborhood organizations.

The perspective

A safe place matters more when there is a reason to come back.

Build on relationships and places that already matter. Connect schools and community hosts with enrichment partners, youth ambassadors, outreach, and Safe Passage support. Give young people room to try something new, build a skill, meet someone, and feel that the community is investing in their future.

02 / INPOWER’s role

Connect the moving pieces. Keep people in the picture.

INPOWER supported the shared initiative through coordination, implementation, outreach, and marketing. We helped connect partners and community programming with the young people and families the effort was designed to serve, working alongside public agencies, schools, community hosts, and other implementation partners.

01

Partner & program coordination

Support for aligning community hosts, enrichment partners, staffing, and implementation details.

02

Youth engagement & ambassador support

Opportunities for young people to help shape and carry the initiative into their communities.

03
