Their mission is to provide the highest quality in art education through collaboration and partnerships with public and private organizations. SMARTS is a community art school, located in Youngstown’s Ohio One Building, giving K-12 youth access to the arts. “I think it’s a great testament to the importance of teaching through the arts as well as to our support base during our transition and into our future.” “We’re so proud of the support we received, not only from the Mahoning Valley, but also throughout the country,” said Becky Keck, executive director at SMARTS. As winner, SMARTS will receive up to $50,000 worth of website design/development, logo design, print collateral design, content writing, content editing, SEO, and website hosting for one calendar year. SMARTS was one of three finalist organizations for our 2017 contest, which also included The Cornerstone, located in Beaver Falls, PA, and Potential Development out of Youngstown. They are a very deserving organization, and my staff is chomping at the bit to help make a difference for them.”

“We had a great response to the campaign – SMARTS received 10,521 of nearly 20,000 votes.

“We are excited to begin work on this project,” said Steve Cross, owner and creative director at iSynergy.

As a digital advertising agency, it only made sense that we would think outside the box when planning a way to give back to the community.
