Building a movement to reverse systemic racism in Los Angeles
Ocean & Mountain led the communication strategy, media relations and social media, in collaboration with VPE Tradigital Communications, for the launch of the newly formed Committee for Greater LA and their landmark “No Going Back” Report. We produced the project messaging, media briefings, and collaborated on the naming and creative direction of the report and social media content. A collaboration with USC & UCLA, the report highlighted widespread evidence of systemic racism and was widely praised among leading media outlets and civic leaders as a sweeping policy blueprint for system change.
Widespread media coverage
We helped secure an article and editorial in the Los Angeles Times advancing the project’s key messages, along with coverage on KNBC, KTTV, KCRW, KPCC, Inside Philanthropy, and more.
Digital & social activation
We developed a creative strategy for the project report and social and digital media featuring photography of the historic 2020 actions for racial justice by Kemal Cilengir, and created digital content to build engagement, including the “No Going Back” promise.
