## Portfolio & Awards


### Project for CFP Board
When CFP Board needed to meet challenging new business goals from their flagship web site, they turned to Interactive Strategies to completely re-engineer the user experience to align with their user needs.
We began with user research to quantify needs across a dozen key audiences. We followed up with interviews to understand audience motivations. Combining that with analytics and competitive analysis, we designed a new experience that provides both logical next steps and motivational messaging to move candidates through the funnel to professional certification.
To support strong content creation, we created editorial processes and governance rules, then implemented them within Sitecore CMS. We also customized Sitecore to integrate data with NetForum to power personalized dashboards for candidates and CFP professionals.


### Project for AAUW
We collaborated on a digital transformation to reach a new generation of women, re-introducing AAUW as a trailblazer in advancing gender equity. 
Our client needed a diverse, inclusive website that cultivated a community of activists spanning five generations. The site was able to weave key priority issues into the content strategy (education, workplace, and economic equity and leadership) to elevate the mission at hand: equity for all.
By enhancing everything from the logo and imagery to colors and fonts, we set the foundation for a modernized brand. Bold, animated graphics add visual interest while driving audiences to specific calls-to-action and featured content. The new look marks a dramatic departure from the previous website, which constrained site administrators with limited options for displaying content and visuals.
Creating more conversational content was important to realizing the new voice, as well as engaging with younger audiences. We worked closely together to map out a content strategy that includes helping AAUW consider their audiences’ emotional mindsets, so that they can address user needs at every turn. Writing/email workshops, CMS training and dedicated QA measures prepared AAUW’s editorial team to conquer their content brainstorming, creation and entry for an on-time launch. 
 


### Projecr for ACOG
To implement the online component of their “Vision 2020” strategic plan, ACOG is relied on Interactive Strategies for a complete strategic re-imagining of their Web properties. From clinical guidelines to medical news to local chapter events, we built a new user experience grounded in primary research into the needs of their many distinct audiences.
The new site showcases a more vibrant ACOG brand and streamlined user experience, integrating content and data from nearly a dozen disparate sites. Users can now find (and buy) the materials and courses they need within a single experience that includes e-commerce and a member dashboard.
Behind the scenes, Interactive Strategies empowered ACOG content teams with a customized implementation of Sitecore CMS, giving them both flexibility and ease of use. More than providing technology, we also helped ACOG shape new content governance processes to manage content across dozens of internal stakeholders from the national, regional and local levels.


### Projecr for The Wilson Center
The Wilson Center is a leading institution for in-depth research and dialogue. The new website, which is slated to launch in late 2019, focuses on driving exploration of the organization’s rich research and insights. To this end, we worked with the Wilson Center to implement logic that promotes related content on nearly every page of the site — so visitors are always presented with clear pathways to content of interest. The site also features a modern take on the Wilson Center brand and a revamped information architecture centered around user interests.
A key piece of this project is a comprehensive content migration from Wilson Center’s current Drupal 7 site to the new Drupal 8 site, which entails mapping 245 fields and migrating close to 100,000 pieces of content.


### Project for The Wilderness Society
We are the current digital fundraising agency of record for The Wilderness Society.
Our partnership began in 2017 when The Wilderness Society was looking for a marketing partner who could help them hit their end-of-year giving goals. We exceeded those goals, but what makes us even prouder is that we’ve become a trusted partner in guiding and executing their overall digital fundraising strategy, which includes social, display, email and search.


### Project for FARE
FARE’s new website elevates its new research mission; weaving in storytelling that demonstrates its impact and establishes a better ability to continue delivering trusted resources.
We focused on educating the public on the dramatic increase in people with food allergies and how allergies do not discriminate by age. We provided audience-based content that drives users to what they seek most, while distinguishing between universal actions, such as donate, and content specific actions. The new site reframes FARE as a Powerful Research Organization, by showcasing how it is leading the charge on accelerating innovations and identifying gaps in research.
We also empowered people to become engaged through fundraising, awareness, and advocacy initiatives. Emphasis was placed on promoting the WHY to give/get involved and to show FARE’s impact. We provided FARE with clear, actionable guidance as well as technical recommendations that will significantly improve both its search engine optimization as well as overall content governance.


### Project for Lupus Foundation of America
The Lupus Foundation of America has driven every major milestone in lupus research, from funding the development of the sole drug for treating lupus to establishing the only national pediatric lupus research program. But the Foundation’s website wasn’t telling their research story, so they were losing critical fundraising dollars to their main competitor.
We redesigned the site to allow for more visual storytelling, while helping the Foundation rethink how they talk about themselves—threading their research impact throughout. The new site positions them as the lupus research driver, while assuring patients that they can continue to turn to the Foundation for support, resources and hope.


### Projecr for SSEC
The Smithsonian Science Education Center sells and supports a unique curriculum for grades K-8 focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We designed their new site to relate their compelling story, build understanding of their offerings and compel users to purchase, donate and get involved. We brought the content to life with case studies, testimonials, playful visuals and strong interactivity.


### Project for Brightview Senior Living
Choosing a senior living home is an extensive, emotionally taxing process that typically begins on the web. We delivered a site that connects with potential residents and their families – who are often driving the exploration process. An interactive map makes it easy to find a community. Then each community has its own unique feel – using flexible modules controlled in an easy-to-use Sitecore CMS.


### Project for Davis Construction
Nationally recognized for their local vision and industry experience, Davis Construction stands out from their competition - and they needed their website to do the same. It was up to us to build a site that showcases their breadth of work, attracts top talent, and demonstrates the Davis difference.


### Project for Wolters Kluwer
Wolters Kluwer Legal and Regulatory wanted to improve online engagement, streamline multiple technology systems, and transform a legacy print publishing model into a more viable and profitable demand generation platform. Through research, including surveys and one-on-one usability studies, we helped them better serve a variety of users whether a legal expert or the general public. With an improved user experience and smarter content strategy, the new site draws content from more than 15 different systems and serves it in one seamless experience. Another key was how to find the right balance between giving away valuable content and what to keep behind paywalls. Powerful taxonomy provides related, relevant content and boosts lead generation.


### Project for ASCO
Since 2014, we have had the pleasure to partner with ASCO’s social media team to help them expand the organization’s social media footprint and further establish ASCO as a leader in cancer care and research. After our initial social media strategy phase, we’ve since developed and deployed multiple targeted social media campaigns to grow organizational awareness, amplify thought leadership and promote ASCO’s industry-leading Annual Meeting.

### Project for Rainforest Trust
Rainforest Trust saves endangered wildlife and protects our planet by creating rainforest reserves through partnerships, community engagement and donor support. They needed an awe-inspiring website that would communicate their mission and impact, and make an immediate connection with their audiences. 
We began with a detailed discovery phase, including stakeholder interviews, reviewing website traffic data, and conducting a survey of donors and site visitors to help inform the new site architecture. 
We then created an immersive design for the site that would make visitors feel like they were exploring the rainforest, with images that move as you scroll down the page, and three dimensional cut-outs of animals peeking around corners of components or floating in the background. 
The site is build in WordPress, and we created a custom component library for the Rainforest Trust team to ensure that updating the site was intuitive for administrators regardless of technical expertise. 


### Project for American Kidney Fund
The American Kidney Fund (AKF) selected IS for their digital marketing and website redesign efforts to transform them into a fundraising-first organization. AKF was founded when friends rushed to the aid of a loved one being bankrupted by the cost of dialysis. Today, 37 million Americans are living with kidney disease. Our charge was to convey AKF’s human-centered approach: bringing kidney disease out of the shadows, and people into the spotlight.
 
People with kidney failure were hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, since they’re at high risk and most cannot isolate due to their dialysis treatments. Only a month into our tenure, our teams pivoted in March 2020 to raise grant money for AKF’s Coronavirus Emergency Fund, the only national program addressing the immediate needs of patients. Thanks to our multi-channel rapid-response campaign, AKF saw a 46% increase in lapsed donor reinstatement and 61% increase in new donor growth. The funds raised connected nearly 13,000 patients with lifesaving grants.
 
In our first year of partnership, we pushed our client’s digital fundraising over the milestone $1M mark, resulting in a year-over-year increase in revenue growth of 54%. By creating an Annual Day of Tribute, 37 Mile Challenge virtual fundraisers—and other campaigns to support an aggressive digital strategy—we acquired new donors, re-engaged lapsed audiences and promoted retention.
 
AKF’s website needed to reinforce that they’re the go-to education source for patients, families and caregivers. A mobile-first approach was critical—kidney disease disproportionately affects low-income people of color who primarily access the internet through their phones. Spanish translations of all education materials drive awareness among LatinX communities. We also ensured that AKF met their accessibility targets to reach as wide an audience as possible, while using keyword research to identify new topics that help them live healthier lives.


### Project for ASCE
As the world’s largest publisher of civil engineering content, ASCE struggled to quickly connect users with relevant content across their vast array of publications—in the face of a fast-approaching deadline for their website technology.
 
ASCE knew they needed to better serve specific audiences, such as engineering students and international members, but were seeking data insights to guide their strategy. We conducted extensive research on their users’ needs and website behavior, which we turned into detailed personas and user journeys to underpin the website strategy. These tools helped put our client in their users’ shoes, shaping key decisions throughout the project.
 
We developed a new architecture that puts users first—organizing content based on why users come to the site, rather than by the ASCE org chart. Our research found that many users want content relevant to their career stage, so we made relevant content easy to find for different career phases.
 
We also created topic pages that collect content from across their network of professional journals, practice resources, email newsletters, and a robust news and information hub—all driven by a new, consistent taxonomy. So now a civil engineer looking for content about sustainability can find it all in one place.
 
To power ASCE’s digital transformation, we put into place a strong technical foundation. The new Sitecore CMS seamlessly connects with ASCE’s AMS, Personify. The CMS also dynamically updates the latest publications, journals, committees, institutes, regions, sections, branches, and staff/committee members. We developed a phased personalization strategy that starts with users easily accessing their communities and surfacing curated content. The ASCE team now has the tools to create a powerful, personalized experience for their audiences.


### Project for Fairtrade America
Fairtrade America celebrates products that are sourced ethically. Their website needs to accomplish a lot: explain how Fairtrade works and why it’s important, entice new brands to get Fairtrade certified, and help existing clients tell their own story.
During the strategy phase, we identified Fairtrade America’s primary audiences: prospective brands, existing brands, consumers. We built separate areas of the site for each audience and varied the voice to meet their needs—professional for businesses, a bit more casual for consumers. But we knew they’d all be browsing the entire site, so we cross-promoted sections with content and messaging that appealed to everyone.
Our creative team crafted a visually compelling website that uses design to tell Fairtrade’s story. We used stats to convey key facts and numbered steps to simplify the complex certification process. Then we chunked everything into bite-sized bits of content that are easy to scan, especially on mobile devices.
We built a more robust WordPress experience that’s easy for anyone to use. Content editors can view a sophisticated component library built right into the WordPress interface that displays exactly what each panel looks like. Building pages is faster, more flexible and even fun.
