Success Story

Housecall Providers Uses Communications to Meet Needs

Housecall Providers was having difficulty recruiting sufficient staff to serve its homebound, mostly elderly clients. Through a strategic communications plan, To the Point used a multimedia approach to telling Housecall Provider’s unique service model story. Housecall Providers was able to refine its recruiting campaign and find the right people. Staff size tripled over three years and turnover was reduced.

Success Story

YMCA of the Columbia-Willamette Turns 150

A national nonprofit with a local presence needed an outside design team to collaborate with staff to create key brand elements for a major anniversary. To the Point brought our branding expertise to work with staff on the project. We created the framework for the YMCA’s print and digital suite of collateral, beginning with the 150-year anniversary logo, which is the centerpiece for the overall campaign. View our work with them.
