  • data-driven advocacy

    A national sex education advocacy organization needed to differentiate their curriculum in a landscape crowded with competing programs and varying state regulations. We conducted competitive research, analyzed state-specific data on teen health outcomes, and developed targeted messaging strategies that positioned their evidence-based curriculum against the gaps in each state's current approach.

    Result: State-specific messaging frameworks for key regions using local data, helping the organization own distinct positioning in each market.
