Grand Canyon University’s 2024-25 Canyon Worship Album is a testament to the uniqueness of God’s touch in every aspect of creation. The album concept draws inspiration from the individuality of fingerprints, symbolizing the distinct and personal imprint of God on each person. The goal of this campaign was to not only bring this album’s profound concept to life, but to also effectively promote its release through a comprehensive set of marketing materials. This included cover art, pre-release collateral and a suite of launch materials such as posters, flyers, videos, emails, digital ads and social media graphics.

Maintaining visual and thematic consistency across all platforms was a key component of this campaign, ensuring that each element reflected the album’s intimate and holy tone. A central visual element of this campaign is the fingerprint design, featuring handwritten-style text that follows the natural ridges of a human fingerprint. This design, utilizing earth tones and script fonts, conveys the essence of the album, reinforcing a personal relationship with God through worship and a recognition of His divinity in each of us. Each single’s cover art uniquely incorporates text specific to that song, reinforcing its individual message. “Behind the Song” videos provided a deeper connection to the music, offering insights into the inspiration and creative process behind each track.

The campaign’s strategic focus on maintaining visual and thematic consistency across all platforms effectively showcased the album, resonating with the GCU community and beyond. It successfully highlighted the album’s spiritual message, making it a powerful tool for both worship and personal reflection and solidifying GCU’s role as a leader in faith-based creative marketing.
