STARRY X FLUTIE
Flutie Foundation and STARRY: Creating joyful moments, unique brand experiences and impact in the autism community.
The Flutie Foundation is seeking financial investment, promotional products and marketing activation.
This partnership can individually change the lives of numerous young adults with autism while collectively contributing to a nationwide movement of autism acceptance.
Ahead is a chronological preview of upcoming collaborative initiatives where STARRY x Flutie can partner for a 2023-2024 campaign that HITS DIFFERENT for the autism community. We welcome further discussion, as STARRY support can be allocated towards individual STARS, selected events, or the overall STARS of the Spectrum program.
LAUNCH PARTNER FOR C-QUIG'S SINGLE, LEMONADE
C-Quig is an autistic rapper from St. Louis, MO. When he was two years old, doctors told him that he would never speak Now, he is performing at events across the country sharing his story through the power of his original music. His goal is to inspire others with autism that they can achieve their dreams.
C-Quig wrote an original song, Lemonade, about facing challenges head-on and making the best of something difficult. He performs this anthem at corporate events, like Fidelity, to promote positive culture and values.
C-Quig wants to release Lemonade as a summer anthem, in June or early July. STARRY x Flutie could partner on a collaborative social media promo campaign featuring STARRY product (reel, images, or video) post launch of the song.
