OUR WORKSince our inception, we’ve helped Indigenous-led and Native-serving organizations find their story, tell it well, and bring their people together through strategy, creative, and events.
Moving Indigenous leaders, Native-serving orgs, and tribal nations from idea to impact
We’ve done our best to sort our work into strategy, creative, and events, but the truth is it rarely stays in one lane. A brand project grows into a launch event. A summit calls for a campaign. We’re an agile team that follows the work wherever it needs to go, with the same people carrying it from the first convo through the final detail. Explore how our work takes shape below.
-
Every project starts with a clear plan. We listen to the people closest to the work, study the landscape, and chart a path your team can follow. Our strategy work has included brand positioning, communications planning, go-to-market and launch strategy, community engagement, fundraising and development strategy, planning and visioning, and ongoing advising for leaders who want a thinking partner.
-
Our creative work has included helping clients develop brands from scratch, dial in messaging and copywriting, designing and developing websites, managing social media, and creating printed and digital materials that carry brands into the world.
-
We bring people together with purpose. From summits and conferences to grand openings and community activations, we handle experience design, planning, and production. Our goal’s always an event that feels true to its hosts and stays with guests long after they’ve gone home.
Advancing possibilities with and for Indigenous-led and Native-serving organizations
A Pro Bowler's Youth Combine and Native American Heritage Month Celebration on the Oneida Nation
Give & Gather brought NFL pro bowler Elgton Jenkins and teammates to the Oneida Nation for a Native American Heritage Month celebration built around the tribe’s youth recreation program. The evening included a football combine for Oneida kids, a book giveaway for families, and 200+ turkeys distributed. Juneberry managed all player appearances, secured funding and partners to cover 100% of event costs, designed the run of show, and handled staging and production on site.
A Go-To Team for a Tribal Housing Initiative and the Two Partners Behind It
Wolf River Development Corporation and Mavid Construction Services brought us in as their go-to team for the rollout of the Dream Catcher Housing Initiative. We worked across strategy, marketing/comms, creative, and events—handling everything from branding the development itself and refining the communications strategy around it to designing a dedicated landing page to developing the marketing plan for promoting the homes, including an in-community learning event.
A 150-Guest Fundraising Celebration for a Literary Nonprofit
Well-Read Native, amplifying Indigenous voices in literature, wanted its second annual Indigenous Spring Fling to raise money for its Literature & Liberation campaign while feeling like a true community celebration. Juneberry produced the evening in Brooklyn, NY from concept through the final set. We booked a lineup of Native DJs, built a book giveaway that put Indigenous authors directly into guests' hands, curated the refreshment menu, and ran a charitable raffle that turned a night out into direct support for the campaign. More than 150 people pulled up, and we raised over 7x our fundraising goal.
End-to-End Conference Build for a Tribal Economic Development Corporation
Wolf River Development Corporation brought us in to help build the 2026 Tribal Lending Summit. We developed the conference brand and visual identity, designed and launched the summit website, and developed and implemented the conference marketing strategy. On the operations side, we managed registration end to end and secured and coordinated vendors. Because one team carried it from the first planning conversation through the final day on site, the brand attendees saw in their inbox was the same one they experienced at the conference.
An All-In Partner for a Chicago Cannabis Startup, from Strategy to Opening Day
Juneberry came in as ÜMI’s earliest partner, tasked with co-designing its brand and developing a launch strategy that would set it apart in an increasingly competitive legal cannabis market. Over two years as ÜMI’s go-to team, we handled everything from brand design to go-to-market strategy to website development and social media, staying mindful of an ever-shifting regulatory landscape. We built the brand identity and carried it into the physical space. We designed and developed the website, integrated it with the dispensary’s CRM, and created a loyalty program to keep first-time visitors coming back. We planned the grand opening and the events and activations that introduced the dispensary to its community.
Human-Centered Research Design, Implementation, & Synthesis for a Tribal Nation's First New Homes in 20 Years
The Menominee Nation had not seen new housing options come online in over two decades. Juneberry designed a human-centered survey combining qualitative and quantitative methods and administered it in person at the Menominee Powwow. The instrument did three jobs at once: it introduced new housing options to families hearing about them for the first time, it captured contact information for follow-up and education, and it collected real data on housing need, preference, and openness to modular construction. We synthesized the results, translated them into a set of recommendations our client could act on, and built a stakeholder pitch deck that we presented to four key partners in the work.
