Shifting Minds Collective
Shifting Minds Collective is Canada’s first streamlined hub for DEI training. They provide in-person coaching and counselling from their office spaces, streamlining public access to DEI professionals. Shifting Minds Collective removes the pressure of self-promotion for DEI professionals by promoting them as a collective with streamlined branding. They serve the Canadian public, companies and organizations in every major city across Canada.
Shifting Minds Collective is for:
-
For the empowerment of Canadian workers,
-
A resource for corporations and HR representatives,
-
A streamlined space for DEI specialists to reach targeted audiences across Canada.
The three target audiences for Shifting Minds Collective include a primary target the Canadian professional, followed by Industry and Business Leaders, and of course, Human Resource Representatives.
The logo plays on the company name by adding a shift within the type. It is simplistic, ensuring the tone is serious and not detracting from the content. With messaging and the tagline, the tone is direct. Thus meeting the needs of creating key messaging and corporate branding identity.
The website contains crucial information on Canadian DEI statistics and informative blogs to spark discourse. Thus, meeting the requirements of adding user touchpoints.
Promotional items and purchasable wearables add revenue for Shifting Minds Collective, such as beanies, crew neck hoodies, and enamel pin sets. The enamel pin sets feature pronouns to inspire inclusivity during workplace counselling or events.
The application helps patrons organize their events by providing a platform for users to access or purchase tickets, view locations, and get directions within the app.
Lastly, a transit advertising campaign showcases how Shifting Minds Collective can reach its target audiences. Since bus and train advertisements will be seen quickly during a commute, the information is required to be extremely minimal, eye-catching, and accessible. Using just the tagline, logo, and call to action, we effectively minimize the information shown to the viewer. Bus stop ads can have more copy since people are waiting for a bus and have more time to potentially read, so a small blurb about whom Shifting Minds Collective is also featured. These advertisements meet the requirements of the final deliverable of showcasing an advertising campaign.
