Case Study
Gary Sinise Foundation
Helping a Leading Man Become a Leading Voice For Veterans’ Affairs
Actor Gary Sinise is perhaps best known for his role as Lt. Dan Taylor in the iconic movie “Forrest Gump” but also spends significant time serving and honoring our nation’s defenders, veterans and their families through his non-profit organization, the Gary Sinise Foundation (GSF).
Operating in a highly competitive arena of supporting veterans and their families, our goal was to raise awareness of the GSF brand and generate market visibility. The focus was on the highly emotional topic of the widening care gap for returning war veterans. A media and thought leadership campaign propelled GSF into being a leading voice in providing tangible solutions to address this issue.
A summit was held in partnership with the University of Southern California, resulting in concrete recommendations for solutions, sent to government, business and academic influencers, nationally.
