We went to work. 55 hours of digging for gold. 690 minutes of stakeholder interviews. 4 intense strategy sessions. 12 healthy debates. 37 courageous words. 101 insightful moments. 15 graphs charts and color wheels

Throughout it all, we kept hearing one consistent story.

Arthritis is a thief.
It robs me of choices.

It isolates.

Puts my life on hold.
It takes away my dreams.
I’m in pain.

I can't be the mom I want to be.

“After launching the new brand, we’ve seen mass engagement, adoption, and brand alignment among staff and volunteers. Our web volume doubled in four months. We’ve seen an increase in pride throughout the organization, from conferences to boards meetings. The Matchstic team was all-in and so was our leadership team.”
