Over the past seven years we have been connecting students with civic, business, and community leaders. Some of the notable organizations with which we collaborate include the City of Anaheim, Hilton Anaheim and the Disneyland Resort. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/76566/931627/yla.jpg"/> a verynice design studio was brought on to YLA in 2009 in order to re-design the organization's corporate structure / business model to include a marketing division. Little by little, we built a team for the organization, and have continued to manage all Marketing efforts since. Since coming on board, we have successfully launched a new brand, website, marketing strategy, viral & guerilla promotion efforts, multiple events, a social media integration, and more. This project launched our business design sector which has since founded new divisions through the design of corporate systems within non-profit organizations around the world. The new brand's goal was to create a visual identity for the organization that could attract both high school students, and business professionals. The result was a dynamic identity that was designed to be flexible in the sense that the typography is modular and the colors are interchangeable. This helped to create a brand that is both fresh and professional. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/76566/931627/yla1.jpg"/> The website utilizes many features to help the non-profit grow. These features include an video blog for students to give other students advice, student associate profiles to help create a sustainable network of alumni with current students, and of course a blog. This mini-documentary was created to tell the story of how YLA came to be as well as to give a more in-depth look into the two founders of the organization.
