Nashville, TN, October 26, 2016 --(PR.com)-- redpepper, the Nashville-based, award-winning integrated marketing agency, is excited to participate in their 10th annual CreateAthon event next week. During CreateAthon 2016, a 24-hour, work-around-the-clock creative blitz, redpepper will work to help local nonprofits share their stories with new logos, website updates, strategic marketing plans, videos, email and social media plans, posters, brochures and more - all for free.
This is redpepper’s 10th year participating in the national CreateAthon event, and they are proud to have contributed more than $1,000,000 in free marketing services to more than 56 nonprofits in their community through the program.
“During CreateAthon, we press pause on our client work and stay awake for 36 hours straight, working non-stop to help underdog non-profits until we literally collapse on the floor. All for the chance to help them tell a more compelling story and change the world. It’s one of the most rewarding and humbling opportunities we have all year,” said Tim McMullen, redpepper’s co-founder and CEO.
CreateAthon 2016 kicks off on Thursday, October 27, and redpepper has chosen three Nashville nonprofits to partner with: Play Like A Girl, Strick’s Gifts and Hospital Hospitality House.
Play Like a Girl empowers girls to lead happy, healthy lives through the life-skill-building power of team sports and physical activity. Through mentoring, after-school programs, events and PLAG clubs, they offer girls education, support, and opportunities for health and fitness.
Strick’s Gift relieves and supports moms and their newborns in need by providing bedding, blankets, baby clothes, toys, and love.
Hospital Hospitality House provides a home-away-from-home with lodging, meals, and support for patients, families, and caregivers seeking medical treatment in Nashville.
Lu Sipos, Founder of Gabe’s My Heart and the Chemo Duck program - one of redpepper’s 2011 CreateAthon clients - commented, “The benefits of CreateAthon were incredible and redpepper conveyed the story of Gabe’s My Heart Chemo Duck program in such a compelling manner. The video redpepper created has become the most powerful fundraising tool in our arsenal. Thanks to the video, we were able to secure several new long-term sponsors for the Chemo Duck program.”
