“We are thrilled to launch this new brand campaign that celebrates how the YMCA is here for all New Yorkers — to empower youth, improve health, and strengthen community,” said Sharon Greenberger, President & CEO of the YMCA of Greater New York. “Every year the Y helps half a million New Yorkers achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

The YMCA of Greater New York worked with AKA NYC, an award-winning, global, fully integrated entertainment advertising agency, to develop and launch the campaign, which comprises print and digital elements, including video, social media, outdoor and subway signage, online banner ads, and institutional ads. It is also entirely flexible, allowing for each ad to be used across various platforms.

“The YMCA is an iconic institution and we are thrilled to partner with them on this campaign,” said Amanda Blackman, SVP of Creative Strategy and Experiential at AKA NYC. “The YMCA helped form who many of us are today and we are excited to share their mission and offerings with the city.
