Optimist Youth Football had a dated logo and a need to tell the story of the evolution of a long-running and beloved Treasure Valley youth sports program, and turned to us for a strategic and creative plan.
Our x’s and o’s included a combination of digital advertising, outdoor advertising, and both a website and logo revamp. This plan delivered the important messages of benefits over uncertainty. We’re talking a target audience of Moms. Edging out Dad in being the most influential in youth sports participation sign-up, we were tasked with letting Moms know that Optimist was not only beneficial and fun, but also safe. We turned the focus from blocking and tackling to teamwork, leadership, camaraderie, friendship and life’s lessons.

The growth has been significant. In 2020, during COVID, we helped OYF launch its new Flex Flag football program (a bridge between flag football and tackle football). And in 2024, we helped launch OYF’s new Girls Flag leagues. And we can’t wait to see those numbers grow.
