CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, formerly known as Community Health Charities, has long been a respected leader when it comes to bringing communities, nonprofits, and businesses together around a shared commitment to better health and wellbeing. Over the last few years, CHC has been in a state of rapid growth and evolution, but its brand and messaging had not kept up.  To elevate its new strategic focus and areas of growth, CHC needed a shift in name, a new mark, and a new brand story. The organization engaged Mission Partners to assess the current brand messages, ensure that the organization’s commitment to equity and inclusivity was showing up authentically in communications, and to refresh and roll out the brand with community participation and excitement. By clearly articulating CHC’s growth and rebrand to key stakeholders—and involving them in the process—partners were better able to understand the full range of customizable programs that CHC offers and the value added, and they felt ever more committed to the mission, given the new intentional focus on health equity. Partners acknowledged a deep appreciation for the process, especially CHC’s commitment to listening to its community rather than prescribing a solution. Board and staff reported high levels of energy about the new process, and stakeholders were overwhelmingly positive about the new brand experience.
