Upon realizing that their organization’s existing name — the Washington County Youth Service Bureau – no longer encapsulated the full scope of their work, the non-profit contacted KSV to help facilitate a name change and rebrand. In 2021, the Bureau officially became known as Elevate Youth Services. A passionate organization committed to caring for Vermont’s vulnerable adolescent population, Elevate’s rebrand sought to reflect their endeavor to provide their crucial services throughout all of Vermont, border to border.

The NHSaves® utility partners - Eversource, Liberty, New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, and Unitil - engaged KSV to develop a statewide awareness campaign that would resonate in a way that felt unique to the wide-ranging experiences of those living and working in the Granite State. With customers that fell within the commercial, residential, income-eligible, rural, urban, and municipal spaces (among others), we knew that a broad messaging strategy would be necessary. We also knew that something more intentional could really hit home and drive the kind of engagement and awareness that the utility partners were looking for.

The 2022 World Economic Forum Gender Gap Insight Report found that for every 100 men, only 86 women received management positions. In the digital leadership landscape, for every 100 managers, only 52 were women. The same report estimated closing the gender parity gap would require 132 years.
And yet, The McKinsey study, Unlocking the Full Potential of Women at Work shows that companies with gender-balanced leadership earn up to 50% higher profits, and 87% of the time, inclusive, mixed-gender teams make better business decisions two times faster, and with 60% better outcomes.
