Meet Me at the Market Gala

Client: Gibsons Community Building Society

Role: Creative direction, graphic design, illustration

Overview

The Gibsons Community Building Society’s Gala Fundraiser & Tribute is the organization’s signature fundraising event in support of building a vibrant hub of coastal life. The goal of this annual gala is to raise funds in support of programming at Gibsons Public Market and TidePools Aquarium.

Outcome

“Meet me at the market” brought the tight-knit coastal community together with a shared vision. Event branding, digital and social media graphics, and print ads built anticipation and interest while creating a visually cohesive brand experience. A comprehensive event program at the gala highlighted the organization’s deeper mission and values, further connecting to guests, sponsors, and donors alike.
