Highlight any particularly successful client campaigns and their outcomes.

“We orchestrated a multi-year campaign in support of the Hirshhorn Museum’s revitalization of its Sculpture Garden by the artist and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto that included proactively communicating major milestones around the many public consultation meetings that were required for the project to win approval, which it did in December 2021. We placed dozens of stories, including major features in The New York Times and Financial Times, among others, that allowed the Hirshhorn to accurately tell its story and communicate why Sugimoto is the right architect for the job. Once complete, the Hirshhorn Museum’s revitalized Sculpture Garden will serve as a front door to the 30+ million visitors a year to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.”
