  • 2025 Boston Youth Sports Alliance PR Campaign Plan (made up Nonprofit)

    For my Nonprofit PR course, I developed a full public relations campaign plan for the Boston Youth Sports Alliance, a Boston-based nonprofit working to expand equitable access to youth sports and community play.

    Situation: Youth sports participation is declining due to cost and accessibility barriers, with 1 in 3 U.S. kids unable to play sports because of financial constraints. 

    Task: My team created a strategic awareness and community engagement campaign designed to highlight these inequities and inspire families, volunteers, donors, and partners to get involved. 

    Action: We proposed the campaign “Every Kid Can Play,” developing SMART objectives, key messaging, PESO-aligned marketing materials, earned media outreach, social media content pillars, a fundraising event concept, and crisis communications preparation.

    Result: The final plan delivers a comprehensive roadmap to increase youth enrollment, recruit mentors and coaches, and drive community support through storytelling, partnerships, and measurable engagement strategies.

    For my Sports PR class, I worked on a semester-long project affiliated with Hill House, a Boston youth sports nonprofit.

    Situation: Hill House needed to expand access to youth sports across the city.

    Task: I was part of a team that developed a public relations plan to increase awareness, participation, and community partnerships.

    Action: We launched three campaigns—free sports clinics, school collaborations, and a social media initiative—to highlight success stories and promote inclusion.

    Result: Our efforts boosted engagement, expanded Hill House’s reach into new neighborhoods, and strengthened its role as a trusted hub for youth development.

    2024 Rebranding PR Approach for Boston Celtics (unaffiliated)

    For my Sports PR class, I worked independently on a rebranding project for the Boston Celtics focused on modernizing their identity while honoring the team’s legendary history.

    Situation: Although the Celtics are one of the most iconic franchises in sports, their brand visuals and messaging had become outdated and weren’t fully resonating with younger fans.

    Task: I set out to refresh the team’s branding by creating a more contemporary look and voice that still preserved the tradition and legacy at the heart of the Celtics’ identity.

    Action: I redesigned key visual elements, updated tone and messaging, developed social content concepts, and crafted a campaign centered on uniting generations of fans through Boston pride, culture, and storytelling.

    Result: My rebrand presented the Celtics as both timeless and forward-thinking, strengthening their emotional resonance with longtime supporters while making the team more appealing and relevant to today’s younger audiences.
