The #LUCHABlue campaign was designed and produced by The Colibri Collective, the first Latina-owned digital marketing firm in Phoenix. It was a part of an effort to directly engage Latino voters in the swing state during the 2020 presidential election. With a national attack on vote by mail, the campaign's utilization of website and billboards was deemed extremely successful at increasing both awareness and messaging.

“We’re so thankful for our partnership with LUCHA. Their grassroots work has driven major changes in Arizona politics. Our innovative use of digital in the out-of-home billboards is a key example of how our design thinking leverages digital strategies for successful political campaigns,” said The Colibri Collective CEO Gaby Cardenas.
“The 2020 Election saw unprecedented voting numbers because of the hard work of activists and organizers. The Colibri Collective has been a key partner in LUCHA’s efforts to mobilize voters. The Colibri Collective drives political campaigns with invaluable passion for elevating Latino communities.” said LUCHA Co-Executive Director Alex Gomez.
“The #LUCHABlue campaign was a significant point of success in turning Arizona blue in 2020.
