Brand clarity and communication support

4 Walls International

4Walls International is a nonprofit based out of San Diego California, working to clean up the Tijuana River Valley.

They do this through measured interventions that reduce waste, saves money, rebuild natural systems, and strengthen local economies. Their mission not only eliminates ocean-bound trash + contamination downstream, but enables communities with knowledge, training and self-reliance.

Upcycling brand perception

After years of getting their footing in the region, making political inroads, and building a successful proof of concept, 4walls had arrived at a new chapter in their story, and needed to take things to the next level to advance the organization.

Scaling up the idea and influence of the organization would be necessary to make more significant impact and change in the region. But they needed a more professional image and clear articulation to be taken more seriously with bigger players. Even though they work in Big Ideas, as a 2 man organization, there are limits to building one’s own capacity. 4walls would need up the ante of perception and legitimacy to get into those bigger meetings with bigger partners, stakeholders + investors while also building support for amplifying their message to the right audiences.

We started by going out to visit 4Walls in their own backyard (literally) in San Diego/Tijuana. That meant sitting in on everything to see their process and getting to know who they are; their personalities, thought process, company culture, stakeholder environment, and favorite taco spots.

Getting to the core of 4Walls personality and environment was key to understanding the urgency behind what they do.

The border region itself is unique, as are its problems and complexities..and a dizzying amount of plastic trash! So it made all the difference to tag along in cross-border tours, commutes and meetings.

The brief

Upping the pitch game, story, and tools for the mission ahead

The organization needed a perception upgrade. Crafting a more credible persona with professional design, and clarity in explaining who they are + why it’s important. After understanding the political, civil and cultural ecosystem 4Walls operates in, a picture of the challenges became more apparent. But even more crucial was getting to the heart of 4Walls’ elevator pitch. Cross-border political and civil collaborations, environmental clean-up, and budget allotments is a pretty complex thing. We needed to distill the stories in a more concise way to be understood by more audiences. We set out to uncover the real value proposition and Big Idea behind the mission. It meant turning an expensive problem into an investment opportunity. This could be a game changer in being able to pitch themselves in a in an arena of bigger partnerships and funding opportunities.

The outcome

A new adept interface and responsive design

After moderating an intensive two day workshop, we were able to hear voices, collect feedback, make compromises, and ultimately find a consensus. This got the partners more buy-in from the team, led the way for for optimizing a friendlier user experience that works on more devices, a more professional interface and would be more easily adaptable as the site continues to grow. This led to better team practices, standardizing how contributors could edit, upload and interact with the articles and its many categories. And of course, a cleaner + friendlier user interface for navigating and customizing the site, language and region relevant for any user. Instead of a functional blog, we could elevate the perception of GV as more professional interface and legitimate news site.
