We are driving record-breaking impact for South Carolina’s oldest animal welfare organization through immersive event branding and strategic digital storytelling.
Our partnership with Charleston Animal Society, South Carolina's oldest and most honored animal welfare organization, is a point of immense pride for our team. Since 1874, this no-kill leader has been dedicated to preventing cruelty, providing emergency medical care, and finding forever homes for nearly 20,000 animals each year. We were honored to bring their mission to life by designing all of the creative assets for the 2025 Applause for Paws Gala, their flagship annual fundraiser — coordinating with the CAS team and event committee on everything from theme concepting to invitations, sponsor recognition, and every donor touchpoint in between. The result: the gala raised approximately $1,000,000 in donations, meaning Half Dreaming's full design investment represented roughly 0.3% of total funds raised, which was record-breaking support for their lifesaving initiatives, and we're already hard at work developing the creative strategy for the 2026 gala. Beyond the ballroom, we collaborated on a high-impact summer social media campaign for their Subaru raffle, an initiative where 100% of ticket proceeds directly funded shelter operations and veterinary care. By combining strategic design with impactful storytelling, we continue to help Charleston Animal Society build a more compassionate community for the animals of the Lowcountry.
