Project:
E3 Alliance was working to raise awareness among high school students about career pathways in Advanced Manufacturing, a critical, high-growth sector in Central Texas. They needed messaging that would not only inform but inspire, resonating with Gen Z audiences in a way that felt fresh, relevant, and opportunity-driven.
