Partnering for SOCIAL IMPACT

 

USC Public Exchange has been around since 2020, but didn’t “go public” until 2024. And the org had grown a lot since then — more partners, more projects, more people, more impact. It was time to refresh our brand and tell our story. We were on a mission to design smarter systems and solutions bringing the public and private sectors together to make a real difference in people’s lives — fixing what’s broken and redefining what’s possible.
