Sparker Studio helps the Center for Social Enterprise celebrate year one
August 11, 2015 marked the first annual celebration of the Center for Social Enterprise Development in Columbus, Ohio. Five weeks prior to the event, Sparker Studio partnered with CSED to help plan its inaugural celebration, as well as to liaise with content providers and design resources to bring a 24-page annual report from its early draft phase to distribution.
Within the first week on the project, Sparker Studio reached room-capacity registration levels with a single, specially crafted email that was sent to CSED’s list and via social media. In the weeks to follow, Sparker Studio helped prepare the slide presentation, worked with the caterer, coordinated logistics with the venue (The Columbus Foundation), and directed the graphic designer to bring all aspects of CSED’s brand and achievements over the previous year together into a cohesive production and corresponding publication.

CSED’s celebration drew more than 110 individuals to celebrate the progress of this exciting movement. Representatives from major foundations, social entrepreneurs, dignitaries and local media were in attendance. Sparker Studio finalized the report for publication, which included Columbus’ first directory of 60+ local social enterprises identified by CSED to date. CSED received media coverage for the event, including a two-page spread in Columbus CEO.
