Margo Neely and Robert Schaeffer teamed up as Current, the media, innovation, and startup consultancy arm of Neely & Daughters, to provide business development, communication strategy, leadership coaching, and a full suite of brand identity for AFFIRM: The American Foundation for Firearm Injury Reduction in Medicine. Committed to their goal of finding a solution to the American epidemic of gun violence, it was imperative that the organization’s core message and mission come into focus, their non-partisan claims be upheld, and the strength of a unified front in healthcare ready to tackle the problem be conveyed and connected to the public and the media.
