The Client

Murphy-harpst-children's-center--navyblue

For over a century, Murphy-Harpst has been standing in the gap for Georgia’s most vulnerable children. What started as a mission in the 1920s has grown into a 160-acre sanctuary in Cedartown dedicated to healing survivors of severe abuse and neglect. They don’t just provide a roof; they provide a path forward through specialized residential treatment and innovative therapies like equine and art programs. With the launch of their new Evolve initiative, they are now taking that impact beyond the campus, providing life-changing foster care and community-based services to families across North Georgia. For kids who have fallen through every other safety net, Murphy-Harpst remains the place where hope finally takes root.

They Asked...

For an organization that serves as the ultimate safety net for vulnerable kids in North Georgia, Murphy-Harpst was doing incredibly profound, life-changing work every single day—but they needed a trusted partner to help them tell that story to the world. As they approached their monumental 100th anniversary, they didn’t just need a quick website refresh or a one-off brochure; they needed a long-term agency partner. They asked us to come alongside them to untangle their overarching narrative, modernize their digital front door, and build a comprehensive centennial campaign (MH100) that would honor their legacy while inspiring donors to fund their next century of impact.

We Delivered…

Foundation & Strategy

As their long-term agency partner, we helped dig deep to form their core brand identity and overarching narrative. We also developed the strategic bedrock for “MH100,” their massive milestone centennial campaign.

Digital Experiences

We completely tore down and rebuilt their website—reimagining the structure, writing fresh copy, and creating an intuitive digital space that seamlessly connects their mission with donors and families.

Design Systems

We made sure their incredible mission looked the part in the real world, translating their visual identity across custom apparel, printed collateral, ongoing newsletters, and welcoming on-campus signage.

Story & Reputation

We captured the authentic heart of their life-changing work through professional photography and ongoing narrative building, ensuring their legacy of impact is seen, felt, and supported by the community.
