Launching a Civic Nation battle cry

Civic Nation is a nonprofit launching locally supported, grassroots initiatives that have national and lasting impact. They work in four key areas: education, civic engagement, gender equality and social justice. While this is where their focus lies as of now, the team is growing and more initiatives are coming down the pipeline.

The team combines the power of policy experts, community organizers, and creatives who have united together to empower people to take action. While the approach for each initiative is mission-driven, they believe problems can be solved through inspiring, educating and activating people around the nation.

• Civic Nation inspires with culturally relevant content that captures attention and sparks action.
• Civic Nation educates by giving people direct access to information, tools and resources on issues that affect them.
• Civic Nation activates people to organize their communities by supplying toolkits, campaign materials and digital tools.

Civic Nation is determined to stay a nonpartisan effort, but many people are under the impression that it’s simply an Obama legacy project. The issues that Civic Nation works on are not only important—but most have bipartisan/nonpartisan appeal. And while the partisan fights are crucial, so much progress can be achieved in the nonpartisan space.

The beauty of Civic Nation comes through collaboration. NUU Group is a member of the Creative Alliance, a group of leading creative companies that includes Mekanism, Huge, Facebook and Comedy Central, among others throughout the country.

Each member of the Alliance believes in giving the same firepower to the nation’s challenges as they do to some of the world’s biggest brands.

Now, where does NUU Group come in? Civic Nation was in the shadow of the White House for awhile—but now it’s time for them to come out to the world! Thus, the opportunity has risen for Civic Nation to launch “for the first time,” and make a name for themselves based on the merit and national impact of the work coming out of the organization.

Over the last few months, we’ve been working closely with Civic Nation and their people to launch a new brand, positioning and launch strategy for the nonprofit organization.

Be on the lookout in the future! There’s a lot coming from NUU Group and Civic Nation as they officially “launch” to the world for the first time. If you, or the people around you, are passionate about making an impact in the world, don’t hesitate to reach out for more information. And we’re excited to share their work with you—it’s important, and they need as much support as they possibly can get.
