Musicares | Recording Academy
Creative Director | Brand Redesign + Social Content Strategy
THE CHALLENGE
MusiCares, the Recording Academy's charitable foundation, needed a complete rebrand that honored their heritage while modernizing their identity for today's music industry. Additionally, they needed a comprehensive social media presence to communicate their mental health services, addiction recovery programs, and financial assistance to the music community.
THE SOLUTION
Brand Redesign: Created a modern combination mark that brought back the heart from their original logo—their symbol of compassion—while ensuring it worked seamlessly with and without the Grammy gramophone icon.
Social Content Strategy: Developed a cohesive visual identity across all platforms with weekly content covering mental health awareness, health services, financial assistance programs, and nonprofit events. Managed ongoing social accounts with strategic planning and consistent brand voice.
THE IMPACT
Successful rebrand launch across all Recording Academy touchpoints
Established consistent social presence and brand identity
Weekly collaboration and strategic content deployment
Strengthened connection between MusiCares mission and music community
