Homecoming / Direction 01
The assignment
Earn a credible role in homecoming without treating belonging as a seasonal aesthetic.
Cultural tension
People want brands to support the rituals that hold a community together, but notice when participation disappears after the visible moment passes.
The strategic direction
Show up for the work around homecoming—not only the weekend—by backing the people who sustain its welcome year-round.
What review changed
Cultural review changed the brief from celebrating attendance to demonstrating an ongoing role.
