Rooted & Rising: How We're Giving Back to Our Small Business Community A VanDusen Design Campaign for Growth, Purpose & Local Impact
At VanDusen Design, we believe business isn't just about branding, websites, or clever captions—it's about community.
It's about people.
It's about purpose.
And it's about rising—together.
That's why we launched Rooted & Rising, a give-back campaign grounded in our mission to support the small businesses, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who make our local economy thrive.
Because let's be real: small business owners wear all the hats. They're the marketers, the product packers, the customer service reps, the accountants, and the ones holding the vision together with a whole lot of hustle and heart.
We see you.
And this campaign is for you.
What Is Rooted & Rising?
Rooted & Rising is more than a campaign—it's a commitment.
Each week, we're offering a free content shoot to a small business in Southern Oregon. Whether you're a shop owner, therapist, artist, or nonprofit, this shoot is designed to help you show up professionally, confidently, and with a story that connects.
Because we know that a few great images, a strong caption, or a short video can shift everything—it can build momentum, boost credibility, and bring your brand to life online.
Why We're Doing This
We're going back to our foundation:
spiritual growth, creative purpose, and community investment.
This campaign is a reflection of that mission. Our roots are in collaboration and community over competition—and we believe that when one of us grows, we all rise.
Marketing shouldn't feel unreachable or overwhelming. We're here to make sure you know you're not alone in it. You've got support. You've got strategy. You've got a creative team cheering you on.
