Welcome!

Our staff meeting was a little quiet this morning, and we realized that it’s because nearly half our team members are rocketing around the country, meeting with clients, and collaborating on some great new projects.

Hofstra Law (Hempstead, NY): Some of the projects we’re most proud of (we’re looking at you, Oakton) have involved working with our clients to find new ways to express who they are and bring their stories to life online. So we jumped at the opportunity to work this year with Hofstra Law on both branding and website redesign. We’ll be helping with admissions communications as well. You can see some of the already-completed video work at http://www.youtube.com/user/HofstraLawSchool#g/u.

Brown University (Providence, RI): Global reputation for excellence? Check. Engaged and engaging project team? Check. Willingness to take risks and look beyond to obvious? Check. We couldn’t be more pleased to have Brown University as a new partner. We’re working with them to redesign the top levels of their website.

University of Chicago (Chicago, IL): Many of our clients are (wisely) focused on admissions communications: how to attract the right students to apply and enroll. Sometimes it’s interesting to take a step in the other direction and look closely at how you can connect with alumni. We’re working with the University of Chicago on a research project right now to help understand the alumni communications landscape among some of its peer schools.

Middlesex School (Concord, MA): We love our independent school clients—George School, Kent School, NMH. There’s something about the spirit of the independent school that inspires passion in its students, its faculty and staff, and in us. So we’re very pleased to be starting a new project with Middlesex, a hundred-year-old school outside Boston. We’ll be helping Middlesex to tackle a website redesign.

Alverno College (Milwaukee, WI): Our work with Alverno College provides us an opportunity to shine a light onto a truly unique learning experience. At Alverno, evaluations are based on work assessments instead of grades, and there’s a focus on group learning and relationships between students and faculty. Our challenge in working with Alverno is to provide insight into the advantages and opportunities that this style of learning can provide to both students and faculty.

Mount Mercy College (Cedar Rapids, IA): We started talking to the team at Mount Mercy in the spring of last year, and right away, we knew they were our kind of people. This is a dynamic, compelling institution with an interesting story to tell, and we’re very glad to have an opportunity to help them tell it. We can’t wait to help them bring their new site to life.
