Revitalizing education program momentum

The DREAM

Since 2007, Zone 7 Water Agency’s educational program has taught thousands of students to become water stewards. However, following the pandemic, the program struggled to regain traction due to high teacher turnover and shifting classroom priorities. A strategic audit revealed that the existing "KidsZone" branding primarily targeted students, missing the mark with the actual decision-makers: the teachers. The dream was to reimagine the program with a professional, educator-focused identity that would rebuild credibility, streamline the booking process, and ultimately surpass pre-pandemic participation levels.

Truth-telling for parent support

JEFFCO PUBLIC HEALTH acknowledges parenting a newborn is FUSSING HARD

The DREAM

Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) provides a free in-home nurse visit for every family with a newborn in the county through the Family Connects program. Despite the program's immense value, enrollment was lower than desired, and traditional, clinical public health ads don’t capture the attention of exhausted new parents. The dream was to develop a boundary-pushing, “stop the scroll” campaign that avoided standard stereotypes of serene motherhood. JCPH turned to Axiom to create a concept that acknowledged the messy, gritty, and "fussing hard" reality of the first few months of parenthood to normalize asking for support.

Bringing the dream to life

Axiom created the "Parenting is fussing hard!" concept, utilizing humor and "Expectation vs. Reality" photography to break the tension of postpartum challenges. We delivered a comprehensive bilingual rollout that positioned Family Connects as the ultimate support for new parents.

The DREAM

In a joint project to provide community resources for building social connections during the pandemic, Illuminate Colorado and the State of Colorado built an online toolkit for community providers. Two years later, the initiative received federal funding to expand beyond the original provider audience to reach the general public. Illuminate Colorado needed to transform a technical, professional-facing resource into an engaging, accessible, and community-centric platform. They turned to Axiom of Purpose to redesign the website with fresh branding, a public-facing interactive toolkit, custom translation, and dynamic content to foster connection across the state.

Bringing the dream to life

Axiom transformed the digital experience of coconnected.org into a robust community hub, in English and Spanish ensuring that parents, neighbors, and providers could find supportive resources.
