Community Voices
A series of testimonial videos, produced by Big Oak Tree Media with brand direction by me, brought the campaign to life. Based on research-driven archetypes, each story reflects a different ETN profile.
Featuring already naturalized citizens, these videos share personal journeys, unique challenges, and why naturalization matters. All are available on the campaign microsite alongside step-by-step guides and downloadable resources.
