THE SOLUTION
The Communications, Events, Partnerships, and Activations team seamlessly aligned Every Monday Matters with esteemed partners like Jet Blue, Patron, Rock & Republic, Kim Vo Salon, Freshology, guardNOW, AOK Clothing, and more. Our comprehensive campaign, encompassing events, communications, and strategic partnerships, targeted top-tier education and business media, while also incorporating entertaining elements to ensure cultural relevance. Co-Founder and CEO Matthew Emerzian, alongside co-hosts Forest Whitaker and wife Keisha Whitaker, passionately spoke about the organization's mission to implement curriculum in schools, addressing various critical issues such as disabilities and teen suicide.
The launch event exuded a whimsical ambiance with captivating black and pink décor, complemented by Patron bars, interactive games, purposeful art installations, and DJ Tony Okungbowa from The Ellen Degeneres Show providing live music. The highlight of the night was a lively auction hosted by E! News' Ashlan Gorse, featuring inspiring speeches from Keisha and Forest Whitaker. The groundbreaking experiential marketing activation, the Our Schools Matter Program, brought together additional talent, red carpet communications, and other services, making it a one-of-a-kind experience. The pink carpet welcomed a roster of notable guests, including Director Garry Marshall, Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy), Julie Benz (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Ashley Argota (Austin & Ally), Edi Gathegi (Twilight), Monique Coleman (Disney's High School Musical), BooBoo Stewart (Twilight: New Moon), Cat Sadler (E! News), Tommy Davidson, Tia Carrere (True Lies), and many more.
