We love our work at Impressions, but in another time and place - who knows what we'd be doing!? So we asked the team, and here's what some of us said our jobs would be in an alternate reality.

Your turn! If you had a totally different job, what would it be? 😊

All summer long, our friends at First 5 Lex, in collaboration with some wonderful community partners, host a series of interactive and engaging events for soon-to-be kindergartens to help them prepare and get excited about starting school.

Impressions is so proud to support Countdown to Kindergarten with design work and other promotional efforts. It's so fun and rewarding to watch these young learners grow in their curiosity and discover new interests as they begin their education journey.

Have a rising FCPS kindergartner in your family? The next C2K event is this Saturday, July 20, at The Living Arts & Science Center! Families of littles can also download the First 5 Lex app on Apple and Android to stay informed of all the latest events, activities, and resources for kiddos 0-5.

Congratulations to the fine folks at UK St. Claire on officially transitioning to their new name, look, and partnership with UK HealthCare! 👏👏👏

Since late 2023, Impressions and our friends AdVice Media have worked to develop and implement a strategic communications plan to make this new beginning as seamless as possible. It's been an incredible experience for us, and we can't wait to see the positive impact this will have on the people of NEKY.

UK St. Claire is here to serve the Northeastern Kentucky community.

The partnership between the University of Kentucky’s UK HealthCare and St. Claire HealthCare is now official. As we transition to the UK St. Claire name, you may notice changes to visual elements around our campuses and on our website.
