Opt- Options For Sexual Health
Project Description
Options for Sexual Health was one of our first clients -- back when they were still Planned Parenthood Association of BC. We leaped at the chance to branding when they decided on a name change. What we love about their new name is how the short form - Opt - is also a word that means what they stand for! Opt for choice, Opt for health.

SACY: Connection is Prevention. Share Your Voice!
Project Description
SACY (School Age Children and Youth) is an extremely effective program in Vancouver high schools run by the Vancouver School Board and Vancouver Coastal Health, that educates about substance use with an aim to empower youth to speak up, get smart, stay safe, and to get support when they need it. For this project the Hello Cool World team collaborated with the SACY coordinator and several facilitators, to bring together diverse high school students from all over Vancouver. The goal was to make an up-to-date conversation starter, that feels real and that is clearly about Vancouver. This was done to fill a need for materials that reflected local youth's concerns and contained their voices. For this reason we named the video "Share your Voice."

Safe Vibe
Project Description
Safe Vibe was a campaign launched by WAVAW during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver to draw attention to the problem of predator sexual assaults in bars and night clubs. Using research about activating bystanders and a strategy to deflect victim blaming, we created catchy slogans empasizing our right to party safely: "Keep the vibe, fight the crime." The campaign included an outreach component where volunteers hit the streets at night to hand out materials and spread the word. We also produced a short video and campaign website.
Circles of Understanding

Circles of Understanding is a program that educates the public about the history of residential schools in Canada. Over two years we did two photoshoots, the first with Elders and youth around the impact of residentials schools across the generations, and the second with celebrating resilience and the many accomplishments of indigenous people. These portrait photos and stories became content for a website and workshop and print materials. Excerpts pictured here are from the two brochures and, and 20 display banners.
