Case Study 01

Blues
Backroads

MidSouth Development District

Blues Backroads celebrates the music, culture, food and communities of the Mississippi Delta and surrounding region. MidSouth Development District wanted a website that could bring all of those stories together while also giving local partners an easy way to contribute events and keep visitors connected to what is happening across the region.

We moved the existing website from WordPress to a custom platform built around how their team actually works. Along the way, we migrated the content, protected important SEO, rebuilt itineraries and interactive maps, and created a custom event system where regional partners can submit events for review. The result is a tourism website that is easier to explore, easier to manage and ready to keep growing.

Bringing Travel
Brands Together

Adventure International

Adventure International has spent decades creating extraordinary travel experiences and has grown into a family of specialized brands covering different destinations, experiences and travelers. We worked closely with the team to understand the full family of brands and bring the bigger Adventure International story together.

We dug into years of destinations, travel products, photography, video, newsletters and company knowledge, mapping how the brands and experiences connected and where they overlapped. We then used that research to build a new website that brings everything together while keeping each brand distinct. We also redesigned the email newsletter to carry the same look, voice and organization into future communications.

Courageous
Conversations

U.S. Tour Operators Association

When USTOA chose "Courage" as the theme for its annual conference, we were asked to come up with a creative way to bring that idea to life. Our answer was Courageous Conversations, a series of unexpected conversations with some of history's most famous explorers and adventurers.

There was little, and in some cases no, original audio or video to work with, so we combined historical research with AI animation, voice technology, writing and creative production to bring each personality to life. The finished pieces became part of the live conference experience, giving the audience a fun and surprising way to hear from people who quite literally ventured into the unknown.

Case Study 04

AI Degree
Navigator

Webster University

Webster University gives students a lot of freedom to shape an education around who they are and where they want to go. We wanted prospective students to experience that flexibility for themselves rather than simply reading about programs and degree options on a website.

We created a friendly AI Degree Navigator that asks students about their interests, personality and goals, then introduces them to degrees that might be a good fit. Instead of simply giving someone a result, it explains why each recommendation makes sense, introduces possible career paths and highlights Webster's Build Your Own Major option. It turns exploring college programs into a much more personal conversation.

Engaged &
Inspired

The Lobiko Initiative

The Lobiko Initiative supports the holistic development of children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, working alongside communities to create opportunities for children to learn, grow and thrive. We worked with the organization to bring more of that energy, humanity and sense of possibility into its digital presence.

Starting with Lobiko's existing logo and identity, we expanded the brand into a fuller website experience built around the children, people and stories at the heart of the organization. We also strengthened the messaging, reorganized content and re-edited existing videos so everything felt connected. The result gives Lobiko a stronger foundation for sharing its work with supporters, partners and new audiences.

Maximum Content
Lifecycle

Andean Health & Development

Our work with Andean Health & Development started with a four-minute fundraising film telling the story of its healthcare work in Ecuador. But a great shoot produces far more than four minutes of useful footage, so we looked at how we could make everything we captured work harder for the organization.

We went back through the footage and created an entire library of additional content for social media, email and the website. Stories were edited into landscape, square and vertical formats so they could work naturally across different channels. One production ultimately became a full year of storytelling, giving Andean Health dozens of ways to keep sharing its people, mission and impact long after the original film was finished.

From Script
to Screen

Lutheran World Relief

For Lutheran World Relief's Farmers Market Coffee, we had the opportunity to tell the story behind a cup of coffee by taking viewers directly to the people and places where it begins. The goal was to connect a U.S. audience with the farmers behind the product in a way that felt personal, beautiful and real.

We handled the project from beginning to end, developing the script, planning the story, filming on location in Nicaragua and bringing everything together through editing, music and final production. The finished film combines the story of the coffee with the stories of the people who grow it, giving audiences a much more human connection to what is behind the product.
