MILESTONE REACHED *11* in Twenty-Eleven

Every year for the past 11 years Judith Mayer, owner of Keyword Design, has donated over $10,000 of design services in-kind to South Shore Arts (Totaling over $111,000) for everything from a complete rebranding, to exhibit catalogs, quarterly magazines, signage, postcards, invitations, and web design. She has worked closely with the staff and board to build a unique brand that communicates the non-profit organization's personality, history and mission and she has put systems in place so they can confidently manage the brand themselves.

Many design firms do a few pro-bono projects as a way of making connections, a way of marketing themselves. But Judith decided that instead of making a tiny impact here and there, she would create a partnership that was meaningful and would really change an organization for the better in the long-term.

"Our success in growing South Shore Arts is directly related to the marketing and branding expertise of Judith Mayer and Keyword Design. She has created for South Shore Arts a brand and design that is clear, engaging, consistent and relevant which helps me every day to raise money and awareness for the organization."

Tricia Hernandez, Director of Marketing & Development, South Shore Arts

"Judith has given us a distinct brand that has transformed us from a little known non-profit arts entity into the region's leading agency promoting the arts on all levels along Chicago's south shore. Her work has won us the coveted Great Lake Award for a quality of marketing that not only benefits South Shore Arts but makes our entire region look good!"

John Cain, Executive Director, South Shore Arts

We are proud to be a part of South Shore Arts' success and we value this 11-year relationship. Keyword Design will continue to provide the same quality creative to South Shore Arts that we do for all of our clients.
