Annie’s Holiday Wish List
MWW Group
Self-Promotion: Christmas Card

For the last three years, MWW Group has created video holiday cards with the goal of providing clients, friends, and stakeholders a more personal glimpse into our work and community programs. This year, we wanted to build on these themes with an added dose of humor. The result was “Annie’s Holiday Wish List.” We hoped it would not only bring laughs to those who understood the parallels, but also educate clients and potential clients on our suite of services.

MWW Group also received Honorable Mention for the redesign of Kinkisharyo’s ameriTRAM website in the Corporate Websites category.
