About Lincoln Park Zoo:

The Lincoln Park Zoo design team creates marketing, communications and promotional materials to be hosted at the zoo and beyond. The projects are aimed towards tailored audiences in a very unique workspace. There is more content than attention span, therefore the team must have a strong understanding of the conservation and science, animal care and animal welfare, and learning  content in order to engage the zoo’s guests and potential supporters quickly. 

Designing for a zoo that’s open everyday with over 3.6 million visitors a year is quite a challenge. Furthermore, Lincoln Park Zoo is the only free privately managed zoo in the country – meaning we work hard to raise over 80% of our funding from members, donors and zoo visitors – quite a challenge on a limited budget. This event will provide insight for how a highly dynamic institution promotes its key messages with on-point design and strategy for the general zoo visitor and potential members and donors – all while hearing gibbons call and seeing red pandas at play!
