Liberty Humane awarded free creative services

Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City, is the newest client of S FREE, the S3 Agency's pro bono program that provides free creative services each quarter to a different New Jersey business or organization.

The S3 Agency will be donating its time to create an advertising campaign to help increase awareness of Liberty Humane Society's services and support their mission.

"Re-homing animals who have nowhere to go is one of the most urgent aspects of our mission, but our long-term goal is to build a community in which those services are no longer needed," said David Ramirez, development manager at Liberty Humane Society. "We are so excited that The S3 Agency will be donating their creativity to help reach more people with our message."

Denise Blasevick, CEO of The S3 Agency, said that "after an agency-wide vote, it was clear that Liberty Humane Society's mission spoke to our team. We are genuinely honored to help this important organization by developing an ad campaign that will amplify their efforts and help reduce the number of shelter animals in Hudson County."

S FREE launched late last year, and the Congenital Heart Defect Coalition was the inaugural recipient of the agency's pro bono program. S FREE is open to New Jersey-based organizations that have less than $1,000,000 in annual revenue or fundraising. The next application period will begin on April 1, 2017 at www.ineedSFREE.com.
