Los Angeles LGBT Center:
What R U Into? Campaign
Role: Creative Director, Design, Copywriting
Photography: Kyle Jackson
Graphic Design: John Palmer, Tod Barnett
Situation: The Los Angeles LGBT Center was launching a new health center in the city of West Hollywood to provide primary and sexual healthcare to the LGBTQ+ community. The goal was to create a sex-positive campaign that encourage all individuals to get the care they need.
Solution: Create a sex-positive campaign that would direct engage the community and get them in for care. Drawing off of language and iconography in “hook up” apps, the campaign posed the question: “What RU Into?” It showcased actual community members (not models), showing that you could be whomever you wanted to be without judgment or stigma.
Execution: Campaign conceptualization, outdoor campaign (bus shelters, billboard, signage, sidewalk), social media campaign, Icon-based language that people could customize on their images and then upload to their social media and profiles
