THE CHALLENGE
In 2020, the Utah State Legislature established the State Flag Task Force to implement a statewide public engagement initiative to design a new state flag. The goals were to spark conversations about Utah’s common values, unite Utahns around a shared identity, and communicate that vision with the rest of the world.
THE SOLUTION
Our team led the "More than a Flag" campaign, a statewide redesign process supported by six expert sub-committees. Utilizing media relations, advertising, and extensive grassroots partnerships, the initiative engaged over 45,000 participants and gathered 7,000 design submissions. Following a rigorous selection process with the State Flag Task Force, the "Beehive Flag" was officially chosen in November 2022.
