City-Wide Holiday Gift Box Program

Project Manager: OneCity Inc.

OneCity partnered with Downtown Sacramento Partnership to launch a holiday gift box program during the height of COVID-19. With foot traffic down and small businesses struggling, the campaign curated high-quality local products into beautifully packaged gift boxes for individuals and corporate clients. The initiative boosted exposure for neighborhood brands and introduced a new model for seasonal economic development.

They create space to see resistance early and decide what comes next for your company or projects.
