Verizon Forward for Good Accelerator is an ongoing initiative to support start-ups leveraging technology to make a social impact.

There have been two cohorts so far: Climate Justice and Disability Innovation. Each have their own unique branding. We begin by marketing the cohorts on social to find the right startups for each program. Once the selected startups have joined the cohort, we then run a social campaign around the 12 week accelerator program. Once the program has wrapped, we then put on a showcase in our event space, where I designed all materials.

For the first cohort, I ran/designed the social campaign. I also designed the event space materials for the showcase. For the second cohort, I branded and ran/designed the social campaign.
