Facing challenges, including pandemic-affected fundraising and criticism from anti-tax groups, Oak Park’s Park District, nonprofit Parks Foundation and Public Communications Inc. accomplished what most thought impossible: Raise $20 million to build a community center without raising taxes. The 5-year campaign navigated issues, rallied the community, and exceeded every program objective, resulting in the self-sustaining Community Recreation Center that answers the needs of diverse youth and seniors. The integrated campaign helped gain public support, mitigate criticisms, and raise $20 million for the new Center that offers everyone a place to belong and focuses on community mental and physical health and wellness.

American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
As the world’s largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) sought ways to further reach its 39,000 members with engagement and education opportunities as organic channels yielded fewer leads. Since 2020, PCI has helped build a digital advertising infrastructure for AAOS to target members more effectively around the value of membership and continued education opportunities to help increase marketing return on investment.
