PAST CLIENTS & PROJECTS
EMMA Concert Association
2017-2018
Our team this year has teamed up with the EMMA Concert Association, a local source of national and international orchestras hosted in Flagler College's Lewis Auditorium. The team worked on the creation of a new logo for the organization, promotion of concerts being held, as well as the increase of the social media presence.

Flagler College Theater Department
2018
Our team combined forces with the Flagler College Theatre Department and graphic design student Lauren Curtis to tackle the completion of the playbill that will be used in upcoming productions (in both Fall 2018 and Spring 2019). We studied the previous playbills and created goals for the team to achieve. We applied our communication expertise to pursue sponsorships from local businesses in St. Augustine to fill the playbill with advertisements. Our task also included describing the actual commodity to local entities as well as following up with them to hear their final thoughts, questions, and decisions. Dow was responsible for contacting the entities that had done advertisement trading with the department—such as an ad for an ad or stage props for an ad. The playbill not only needed sponsorships, but more content as well. Dow utilized their access to the playbill by inputting ads for Flagler College’s Communication Week Events for 2018 that are offered to the students. The final playbill was overflowing with graphics and advertisements.

Learn to Read
Learn to Read is a volunteer-based organization that provides free literacy skills assessment and instruction to under-served people in St. Augustine, Florida, and surrounding cities. In addition to one-on-one literacy tutoring, Learn to Read also helps people learn English as a second language (ESL) through personal tutoring and group conversation courses.
Dow assisted with the Kiss the Pig Insert that the team put together for LTR’s annual fundraiser. It served as the main promotion for the Kiss the Pig event, and contained feature stories and highlights of the contestants––all in effort to raise money for the organization. Below is the cover page of the 2009 “Kiss The Pig” insert. This eight page insert was produced by Dow Advantage and published in the St. Augustine Record.
