When starting a new project, #TeamMoonsail thinks first about how storytelling around that project can move an audience to act. But there’s another word in Moonsail North’s tagline that equally drives the work we do on behalf of our clients. See why reading Daniel Quinn's novel, Ishmael, got #TeamMoonsail's Lauren thinking about strategy, and learn why strategic thinking is the best way to fit your work into your business goals.
Thank you to Lansing Mayor Andy Schor for donating a Lansing Ignite suite for the game on July 9 to the Greater Lansing Food Bank, which we paddled for at their Empty Plates event!

“The days are long, but the years are short.” Gretchen Rubin’s quote about living holds true for agency life. Entire weeks, months and seasons can go by in a flash as a marketing communications and branding team immersed in client projects. If you’ve been with us from the beginning and can’t believe how fast it’s gone, please know that #TeamMoonsail can’t believe it either.
We couldn’t let the occasion go without finding a branded way to celebrate, and we’re excited today to reveal our brand refresh to mark our journey as a team and an agency. Read more about how our team experiences our new color palette and what we’re signaling with the update.

#TeamMoonsail enjoys supporting the end-of-year development efforts of our nonprofit clients, and we were proud to see so many champions for high quality early childhood education in the Silicon Valley area. These funds will go a long way in helping Educare provide even more services in 2019 that extend their high quality early learning beyond the walls of their center through teacher training workshops, new opportunities for family engagement, additions to their creative learning spaces, and more. Congrats to our friends at Educare!
#TeamMoonsail visually told the inspiring Educare California at Silicon Valley story through an illustrated brochure that evokes a children's book. Our goal was to give an experiential feel to the unique educational and community-based services provided to children 5 and under in San Jose. We're thrilled to have learned that this day-in-the-life brochure is a finalist for the PR Daily 2018 Nonprofit PR Award in the Creative Assets, Printed Publication category!
#TeamMoonsail works with the amazing Washington, D.C-based U.S. Green Building Council crew week in and week out, and we were stoked to meet up with everyone in Chicago to support Greenbuild, the world’s largest event devoted to the green building industry. With the Windy City’s recent LEED for Cities certification, it was the perfect place to host the event. Scott, Rose and Lauren left Chicago with renewed conviction that, together, we will address climate change and ensure a sustainable future for all. Congratulations to USGBC on another seamless and inspiring event!
This month, Sparrow Health System commemorated one year since the opening of the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center.

It offers one of the largest clinical trial programs and the most advanced radiation technology in the region. #TeamMoonsail contributed to the outreach around the opening of this center and has loved watching it grow and thrive since!
Did you know that one of the most widely-used drugs in the fight against cancer was discovered at Michigan State University by NatSci researchers?
