NAVY SEAL FOUNDATION

I’m honored to work with the Navy SEAL Foundation, which supports SEALs, vets, operatives, and Gold Star families. I help expand their reach beyond the usual circles, connecting with people who may not have the military at the forefront of their minds but should know the depth of sacrifice behind their service.

BRAND STRATEGY AND REPOSITIONING:

We repositioned the foundation as a conduit between donors and Naval Special Warfare, broadening support beyond major donors. The new tagline, A NATION OF SUPPORT, and manifesto invite the entire country into the NSW fold.

‘NATION OF SUPPORT’ LAUNCH VIDEO:
Our Nation of Support campaign debuted at the 2021 New York NSF conference before Navy brass, top donors, and President George W. Bush

NEW DONOR ACQUISITION FUNNEL:

Called STAND WITH SEALS, our automated digital funnel drives donor acquisition through paid social ads, email, landing pages, and SMS. New recurring donors cost $3.50–$5.50, with landing page views under 10¢ and email signups under $1. Monthly recurring donations are up 200% and climbing.

US NAVY SEALs 60th ANNIVERSARY:
We honored 60 years of SEAL Teams 1 and 2 with a tribute video recognizing their sacrifice.

VETERANS DAY:
We created these videos to commemorate Veterans Day. Reebok also ran the videos to their followers.

9/11:
This video pays tribute to the US Navy SEALs’ involvement in the response to 9/11.

BILLBOARDS:
These billboards ran nationally to make the Navy SEAL Foundation top-of-mind.
