CivIc Saturday Akron hosts joyful neighborhood gatherings to celebrate community and shared civic power. They enlisted our help to produce a very special Civic Saturday featuring Eric Liu, founder of Citizen University and the original Civic Saturday, on his book tour for the best-selling Live Like A Citizen (Simon and Schuster, October 2026).

We designed and produced this momentous event, including print and digital invitations, full event programming, and a month-long social media campaign. We booked emcees and participants, nine local organizations for Civic Matchmaking, and the Mayor of Akron, Shammas Malik, joined us for opening remarks. We managed run-of-show, handled A/V, promoted the event locally through print and online channels, secured earned media, garnered over 100 RSVPs on Eventbrite, and 90 attendees.

As part of our ongoing partnership with Civic Saturday Akron, we produced video and photography coverage of the event. Footage will become part of our Akron on the Line series, currently in development. You can see a preview of this work in our award-winning documentary Everybody Eats: Akron's Longest Table, produced with Civic Saturday Akron, with support from NYC Next | The Longest Table, and Knight Foundation. Save the date for a special award celebration in Akron, January 23 and NYC premiere February 2, 2027.
