Client Case Study
Former MLB All-Star, Curtis Granderson
Challenge:
Curtis Granderson, launched the Grand Kids Foundation to connect Chicago youth to educational and athletic opportunities and resources, as well as health and wellness initiatives. Over the years, he launched additional non-profits and initiatives—including the Chicago Baseball & Educational Academy & Grand Giving—but they lacked brand continuity.
Solution:
We developed a plan to align all of Granderson’s non-profits under a brand umbrella—the Curtis Granderson Foundation—and gave it a fresh look and connected brand narrative. We trademarked his nickname—The Grandyman—and launched a website by the same name.
We refreshed the branding and messaging for Grand Giving, his annual food insecurity campaign in partnership with Mariano’s, and have increased awareness and donations by 20%.
We secured Curtis as the cover subject of July 2024 Fete Lifestyle digital magazine, with a 14-page article about his commitment to Chicago youth through his non-profit orgs.

MizCollins Creative is led by
Stacy Collins
I’ve worked with some of the biggest brands in the world— putting together licensing deals with the NHL, the U.S. Soccer Federation and NASCAR to support the launch of Hockey For Dummies, Soccer For Dummies and NASCAR For Dummies, to my time at PLAYBOY working for Playboy Special Editions and Playboy’s Casting Calls. When that chapter closed, I moved into digital media, where I led the global rebrand of the company (twice) and established a creative center of excellence with a team that connected, created and activated hundreds of marketing campaigns, immersive brand experiences and employer brand initiatives.
My decades long passion for volunteerism, civic engagement and board service with Chicago-based 501c3 Chicago Cares led me down the path of “using my skills for good” and I’m excited to work with athlete foundations and non-profit organizations to create dynamic brand and marketing plans to help them achieve their goals and make the most impact in their community.
