Branding
Expansion Project Style Guide

Thanks to a $40 million donation from David and Lucile Packard in 1986, a new children's hospital was born in Palo Alto. The facility opened in 1991 and was ultimately named in memory of Mrs. Lucile Packard. It is routinely ranked among the nation’s best hospitals.
To meet its community’s growing needs for specialized obstetric and pediatric care, Packard Children’s is undergoing a six-year, $500 million expansion. Upon completion, the hospital will provide 361 patient beds on-site, space for families to be with their child during treatment and recovery, and more than 3.5 acres of open space and gardens. In less than a month Yellow Bus and the team at Packard Children’s came up with an antidote to the typical advertising approach.
Under the Growing Together theme the hospital will use real stories from its staff and patients in a campaign that fuses social and traditional media to show how every success at the hospital is a success for the community.
