As American As Tour

As American As Tour Nationwide tour dedicated to celebrating

diversity and introducing college students to Fusion

Developed strategic plan for FMG’s national ‘As American As’ 13 campus tour to build awareness of Fusion as a media source for college students.

Cultivated relationships with individual campuses, created and delivered student outreach strategies and served as on-the-ground representative

during installation. Efforts drove over 9,000 students to attend tour.

Installation took age-old saying ‘As American As’ and updated it to represent the true faces of American today and to celebrate diversity.
