Explore Butte County

Putting Butte on the Map and in the Weekend Plans

The Challenge: Explore Butte County needed more than a marketing plan, they needed a roadmap to visibility. The goal: build brand recognition, attract overnight visitors, and drive high-quality travel interest.

Our Solution: PorterCo crafted a strategic campaign targeting three core segments: Adventure Seekers, Outdoor Families, and Agritourists. Using native content, video bumpers, social ads, and retargeting, we brought Butte County’s story to life. What was once an overlooked destination quickly became a place people wanted to explore and stay.

Dignity Health

Humanizing Healthcare, One Conversation at a Time

Challenge: In a sea of clinical messaging, Dignity Health needed to stand out, not just to inform, but to build trust. The goal: help doctors spark real, relatable conversations with patients.

 

Solution: We created and launched #Doctalks, a bold campaign built around dynamic, doctor-led with a total of 19 videos. Each paired real clinical voices with vibrant motion graphics to deliver approachable wellness advice. From naming and branding to full production and paid media, we handled it all, ensuring the message reached the right audience at the right time.

Enloe Medical Center

Mobilizing a Community to Build a Heart Center

Challenge: The growing prevalence of heart disease and need for emergency intervention has exceeded capacity in the region served by Enloe Medical Center.  Enloe Medical Center needed to raise $5 million from the community to build a world-class Cardiovascular Care Center quickly. Traditional donor networks weren’t enough. They needed a campaign that inspired broad-based community giving and moved people to act.

Solution: PorterCo created “Give a Beat,” a storytelling campaign that put real patients and caregivers at the center. With emotionally resonant video, a cross-platform media plan, and inclusive donor recognition, we inspired a wave of giving across the North State, big and small gifts alike.

Cool Air Rebate

Repairing Cars. Reducing Emissions. Reaching Californians.

Challenge: As extreme heat intensified across California, hazardous vehicle A/C refrigerant leaks caused growing environmental harm and serious public health risks, disproportionately affecting low-income drivers. PorterCo was tasked by the California Air Resources Board and the Car Care Council to design and launch a statewide solution that made essential A/C repairs affordable while reducing emissions and protecting lives.

Solution: PorterCo created the Cool Air Rebate Program, an equity-driven, bilingual initiative focused on Environmental Justice communities. Through strategic branding, trusted partnerships, and targeted earned and paid media, the program delivered measurable climate, health, and economic benefits at scale.

Travel Chico

Branding a Hidden Gem for Long-Term Tourism Success

Challenge: Despite its vibrant downtown, rich culture, and accessible outdoor recreation, Chico lacked a cohesive tourism, economic development identity. Competing with other drive-market destinations, the city needed a brand that could attract visitors, increase in-city spending and deliver a clear, memorable story.

Solution: PorterCo created Travel Chico, a destination brand built on five community-rooted pillars: Community, Hospitality, Ingenuity, Culture, and Outdoors. Through a new website, storytelling-driven content, and a social media launch, we positioned Chico as a must-visit Northern California destination and laid the groundwork for long-term tourism growth.
