Mower’s Syracuse office has donated its creative talents to spread the message that the region’s shops, museums and restaurants are open and ready to safely welcome customers. The eight-week campaign, “Put the ‘U’ back in Syrac_use” was announced at a press conference led by the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, with Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh, Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon, Visit Syracuse and a diverse coalition of more than 50 local businesses lending support. Mower contributed the campaign’s concept, creative and PR, including a chalk mural that will be promoted as a selfie background on the side of a downtown Syracuse building. The agency also enlisted a scavenger hunt app called Scavify that challenges people to visit a variety of area businesses and iconic landmarks, as well as developing and distributing a “Reopening Business Toolkit” that includes posters, a window cling and sample social media posts. To date, as many as two-thirds of the county’s restaurants and retailers are back in business, with more to follow in the coming weeks.
