Help Slow COVID-19: Public Health Microsite
An amazing launch that we are very proud of. It was built in 24 hours exactly. Launched on March 12, one day after the pandemic was announced by the World Health Organization, this award-winning site was made in conjunction with our NJ partners.
The effects of the public health crisis began only a day after the pandemic was announced by the World Health Organization. With this site, we are proud to support the health of individuals everywhere. To top it off, Help Slow COVID-19 reached nearly three-thousand executives, public health officials, and residents. It was recognized with a Gold in the 2020 Muse Creative Awards competition hosted by International Awards Associate.
Growing Membership and societal-wide impact through a New Brand and Online Plaform
Key Medium created a new brand identity and refined what the Coalition stands for to strengthen brand awareness. The new design and branding maximized impact through program-driven information architecture.
We conducted market research, stakeholder surveys, and design thinking workshops to refine the site’s offerings and prioritize information. The workshops found out what information users most wanted to find quickly, which is why the bike maps are on the home page as well as links to the latest blog posts, which share updates and local bike-related news.
Via fine-tuning the entire website’s text, we strengthened the messaging and created a design tailored towards their action-oriented goals. The organization wanted to be presented as fun and animated and we delivered. The website depicts colorful images of bike rides in the area and users find the interactive bike map helpful, especially as the entire site’s design is adapted for mobile use, meaning on-the-go users can easily access the site’s vital information when out on long rides.
Mobile-first website design for an anti-vaping campaign for youths in New Jersey
With our support through digital platform development, a State Department of Health was able to raise awareness of--and encourage youths towards cessation of smoking and vaping.
Find Jersey Fresh
Due to its dramatic overhaul in development, design, brand, and messaging, the new Find Jersey Fresh experience was honored by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) with a Communicator Award of Digital Distinction in the Websites – General-Government category. Since launch, the site has generated an unprecedented amount of traffic, engagement, and buzz. Key Medium provided 100% of the website development services as an extension of the State and Branding Agency Team.
Patriots Week
Created a virtual event guide in 2019 to help tourists and American history enthusiasts attend and find reenactments and events going on during Patriots Week. In 2020, with a nontraditional Patriots Week, we supported the pivot to virtual programming and continue to provide ongoing support to the Community Improvement District (CID) of Downtown Trenton.
WFI City College
The solution to their dated brand, website, and lack of an integrated marketing strategy led to the creation and execution of a SMARTER marketing strategy complete with: a mobile-first, search engine optimized website redesign, a PPC enrollment marketing and lead generation program, and brand refresh.
