Civic Saturday
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.
