The George Washington Foundation’s discovery of George Washington’s boyhood home made history around the world. An Associated Press story, with photographs, was picked up by more than 700 media outlets worldwide.

CRT/tanaka has created a family of materials to support the launch of the brand, including a Web site, www.moveforwardpt.com, to help bring the brand to life among members and consumers, and a brand video to support the launch at a major APTA conference in February 2009.
Today's consumers are savvy, discerning and intelligent. They do their homework, and they look to the third parties they trust - the media, bloggers and organizations - to educate them about the best products, services and entertainment opportunities. To be effective, companies must enter into a buyers' personal circle of influence in a smart, strategic way, creating experiences and building relationships that will influence their opinions and spur them into action.
