The problem

A huge audience, and nowhere to send it

The audience lived on Instagram and other platforms. Speaking requests, advertisers, story submissions and a new book all needed a home, and the brand had to stand out in a feed.

What we did

Three decisions behind the site

Instagram insights feeding user groups, journeys and style guidance

1. Start with who already follows

We used Instagram insights on location, gender and age to shape user groups, journeys and the site map.

Key takeaway: Your followers' data is your first round of research.

Three panels: speaking, advertise and share a story

2. One door for each audience

The site gives speaking, advertising and sharing a story their own panel and button, plus a shop for the book "A Good Thing Happened Today".

Key takeaway: Different visitors need different next steps; give each one a button.

CMYK Vibrance style board

3. Borrow from print to stand out on screens

The "CMYK Vibrance" style uses printing-ink cyan, magenta and yellow with halftone photos.

Key takeaway: A strong color idea is easier to remember than a logo.

Also in this project: an animated logo and site wireframes.

Inside the project

Site map and wireframe, book page, story mosaic, halftone portrait.

What changed

Before and after, in plain terms

The brand has a home base with clear paths for speaking, advertising, story submissions and book sales.
