I want to reflect on the *hidden value* of long-term creative partnerships alongside these bright, charming photos from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)'s 2025 Holiday Party.
We've been working together since 2022, and every year our collaboration feels even more fruitful.
It comes down to the warmth of our relationships: I've learned about everything Carolyn VanWinkle, Stephanie Lane and Reneé Yama put into NEEA's event productions, and what this work means for them.
NEEA is such a successful organization because of its emphasis on *community*. It's everywhere you look. With each production we dig deeper into this ethos, and understand it more wholly.
Our continued collaboration allows us to iterate, navigate shifting waters together, and walk the same path of growth and expansive learning.
This year, all of Human Centric Media's investments and offerings are focused on relationships .. with the subjects of our media, and the strategies framing its production. We're building a team that doesn't just safeguard our clients' experience and impact, but helps them step into earned leadership.
What are you growing this year? I want to hear about it.
