We're happy to share that the For Our Lives campaign, created with Washington State Health Care Authority and Native partners throughout the state, won a Best of Division award at the AAF Spokane Advertising Awards. The campaign earned top honors in public service.
For Our Lives is a Native-centered, storytelling-based campaign to prevent opioid overdose. It also provides information about overdose response and treatment for opioid use disorder. The newest phase of the campaign features Native youth and relatives who teach and support them.
We’re grateful for partnership and collaboration from many folks throughout
Washington, including:
Tribes and Tribal leaders and health representatives
Washington Tribal Opioid and Fentanyl Taskforce and subcommittees
@aihc.wa
Urban Indian health programs and organizations
State of Washington

AI isn’t just changing how we work.
It’s deciding who gets included and who gets left out.
And most teams aren’t asking the right questions.
For social impact and communications leaders, AI isn’t about efficiency gains. It’s about people.
That’s why we’re building tools like Find Your People, an AI-powered experience that helps older adults discover local activities tailored to their interests, reducing isolation and strengthening community connection.
But the real work starts before the tech:
→ Who benefits from this system?
→ Where could harm be introduced?
→ Does this deepen human connection or dilute it?
Human-centered AI means leading with discernment, not convenience.
If we get this right, AI doesn’t replace human connection. It makes it easier to find.

More access, less fuss.
Those goals were at the heart of branding work and a media campaign for the New Jersey Capital Access Fund, a small-business lending program from @newjerseyeda .
The case study in our bio shows how we helped our client use simplicity to cut through the chaos.
Influencer marketing can help people make sense of complex issues and connect abstract ideas to real experiences. For communicators working to change behaviors or shift cultures, trusted influencers can be valuable partners. Read more on DH’s blog at the link in our bio.
How can organizations working for equity stay steady and strategic amid the noise from opponents of DEI? We recalibrate, model endurance, deepen relationships and share ideas.

Yesterday at #OFN41, we joined forces with AVP Annie Groom of @wearedh to explore how CDFIs can use thoughtful digital strategy and film production to build trust, increase visibility, and drive measurable impact.
We walked through a recent campaign developed in partnership between DH and Bond Studio, highlighting how community-centered storytelling can drive lasting growth across the CDFI ecosystem.
Grateful to @oppfinance for creating space for conversations that bridge creativity and impact — and to every CDFI leader pushing the movement forward.

“There has been nothing but learning” along Marc Berger’s journey to the Partner team at DH.
Hear from Marc about his journey, what he loves about the work, and what drives him. The Nebraska native made major stops in New York and China before landing in Seattle in 2013. He’s still learning, and leading, even when the path has yet to be charted.
If you took public transportation in Seattle in July, chances are you saw our ads.
The Friends for Life campaign took over the Othello, Mt. Baker and Beacon Hill light rail stations with a clear message: how to get and use naloxone. Our goal was to share lifesaving information from @wa_health_care to empower people to keep themselves and their friends safe from illegal fentanyl. Here’s a closer look at each station. #WAFriendsforLife
We all play an important role in building welcoming, inclusive communities. We Are Washington Employers (WE’RE) and DH recently hosted an event to talk about this with friends and colleagues.
Our Mix at the Market event brought together Seattle-area business and community leaders to share their experiences and reflect on what it means to center community voices and foster belonging. Many attendees told us they left feeling energized and inspired.
Thank you to our incredible panelists who shared their perspectives. From left to right are: Shirline Wilson, Executive Director at WE’RE; Dr. Paul M. Buckley, Vice President and Chief Workforce Experience Officer at
Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Vanetta Abdellatif, CEO & President at Arcora Foundation.
We’re thrilled to welcome Marc Berger to the DH Partner team!
