The Commission and its research team were charged with presenting both detailed statistical findings and powerful personal stories from community members. Their objectives were to:

• Present the data and analysis of a community mental health survey.
• Educate the county board and the public about the purpose and function of mental health boards.
• Present report content spanning up to 30 pages.
• Use multiple forms of media to present findings efficiently and effectively.

To accomplish this, the Mental Health Commission needed a strategic content partner that could deliver a comprehensive yet accessible report while integrating photo, video, and social media content.

Systemax partnered with the Commission for a complete content solution aligned with their goals and strict project timelines. This included:

• Professional report booklet design with custom charts, clear content hierarchy, and magazine-style layouts.
• On-site photo and video coverage to document the researchers conducting interviews with community members and content area experts.
• Engaging edits and storytelling for short, informative social media content.
• Social media graphics and suggested posts for public education.
• Content planning to ensure consistent delivery across each project phase.
• Team collaboration with the County and Mental Health Commission's members to align on goals, voice, and strategic communications.

By partnering with Systemax, Sangamon County has:

• Increased its visibility across social media channels.
• Shared important research and community stories that build trust and transparency.
• Created a lasting report for the public and future county officials, supported by high-quality photo and video that capture key voices at a pivotal moment in Sangamon County’s history.
