We will defend one another
After more than twenty years dedicated to defending immigrants in the Washington DC area, CAIR Coalition faced a rather fortunate challenge: their growth had exceeded their organizational identity and name. Swell spearheaded the creation and launch of a new brand identity, name, and website that not only captured their enduring mission but also revitalized support from longtime and new backers alike. Thus was born The Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, symbolizing a renewed commitment to their cause while honoring their rich legacy.

It just got Real
As a growing number of people embrace cannabis, the California Department of Cannabis Control wanted to make sure folks knew how to find licensed dispensaries selling regulated products. You know, the good stuff. In partnership with <a href="https://fionahuttonassoc.com/" target="_blank">Fiona Hutton & Associates</a> we created the Real CA Cannabis campaign to educate consumers on the dangers of unregulated cannabis and make it easier than ever to find licensed retailers statewide.

Vending is not a crime
Street vendors contribute to a thriving local economy and are a crucial part of pandemic recovery efforts. In Los Angeles alone, an estimated 12,500 street food vendors generate millions of dollars in revenue every year. Removing the obstacles to street vendors at a time when outdoor dining is at its peak is a commonsense way to bring legitimacy and opportunity to these small businesses.
