Stand Together Overview

In our recent collaboration with Stand Together, we undertook the challenge of crafting a campaign-aligned landing page/site. The mission was to diminish existing bounce rates and, more importantly, captivate, engage, and inspire the target audience towards specific actions. Aligned with the project’s key messages, our design focused on reinforcing the narrative that Stand Together and its partners boldly lead the charge in reimagining the purpose of education for every child in the United States. We also highlighted the transformative initiatives of innovative social entrepreneurs, emphasizing the numerous opportunities for education changemakers to engage with the content and community.
