If you’ve been around JayRay or in the South Sound for a while, you have likely seen the Live Like the Mountain is Out campaign that was created to bolster pride in our region a few years ago.
The campaign was the brainchild of South Sound Together–a group of businesses, nonprofits, universities and other South Sound leaders. JayRay led the branding and creative.
The South Sound Together group first emerged under the direction of McClatchy, the newspaper publishing company.
Behind the scenes, South Sound Together improved the lifestyle and economy of our region. From funding youth civic engagement programs to fueling neighborhood grants, supporting underserved and underrepresented communities, group members pooled their financial resources for good.
Now, as its own nonprofit separate from McClatchy, South Sound Together is still going strong and carving out its next chapter.
Now for our shameless plug…which we want to share because we really believe in this effort for both our community and the perks of the partners supporting it.
The group is seeking new members and it’s more affordable than ever to join.
Current partners include: City of Tacoma, Grit City Magazine, JayRay, KNKX, MultiCare Health System, Pacific Lutheran University, Premier Media Group, Rainier Connect, Sound Credit Union, Tacoma Arts Live, Tacoma Public Schools, United Way of Pierce County and UW Tacoma.
This is an opportunity for all sectors to work together and support projects no one else is doing. Beyond altruism, you’ll enjoy community networking and special advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
