Background
The 125th Anniversary was a year-long series of paid and earned media, mission-driven events, programs, and initiatives across the Alabama market. The culmination was an evening gala highlighting Ascension St. Vincent's historic past, illuminating its present, and exploring the endless possibilities of its future. On Jan. 4, 2023, marketing sent a memo to all associates to kick off the celebration and launched a 125th playbook with logo mark, ideas on how to get involved, and a website that provided a timeline of ASV's 125 years, videos, storytelling, news, and announcements related to the celebration. Projects launched included historical displays, branded collateral, merchandise, and signage; an associate service-wide project; and campus celebrations.
