In the news
Coverage, releases, and someone who will pick up.
If you are working to a deadline, start here rather than with a contact form. Both of these reach a person, not a queue — and we would far rather answer a question than read our own name spelled wrong.

Assets
Everything you need, already the right size.
Logos, headshots, boilerplate in three lengths, and every figure we publish with the source attached — because a statistic without one is a statistic you cannot use.
Logos & brand
Taylor LEAD and iWIN Sports, horizontal and vertical, color and reversed, with transparency. Hex values for every brand color.
Boilerplate & figures
Twenty-five, fifty and a hundred and fifty words. Key statistics with primary sources, so nothing has to be chased down.
Headshots & usage
Approved photography with credit lines, plus how our names are written — including where the asterisk goes in Change Make*Hers.
Follow along
We post the things worth posting.
Scholars as they are named, grants as they are awarded, and the occasional piece of research that changed how we work.
