The Tobacco Atlas has grown to become one of the leading resources on tobacco use and its impact on world health and is now in its sixth edition.
ServicesContent StrategyData VisualizationPrint Report DesignWebsite
IndustryNonprofitPublic HealthEducationResearch
ChallengeAfter five editions of consistently high-quality publications, the American Cancer Society and Vital Strategies sought to create a more readable and engaging experience for users perusing the Atlas. With loads of data and no clear hierarchy of where to look or go next, they wanted the Sixth Edition of the Tobacco Atlas to capitalize on interactive opportunities, have a stronger narrative, a unified visual language, and an easy-to-use digital system both for users and administrators.
SolutionOne of the main challenges with the previous print report was that it overwhelmed the readers with data and the content flow was cluttered. To fix this, we prioritized the creation of a narrative, using an illustrator to draw custom visuals for every chapter to connect the reader to the content. We also trimmed down the amount of data by prioritizing what needed to be in print and what could live online-only, and then designed clear invitations for the reader to find more on the website.
For the interactive version of the Tobacco Atlas, we took these same strong visual and narrative storytelling principles guiding the print design, and leveraged interactive elements and web best practices to create a digital resource. What were static maps in the print report are now dynamic data visualizations, and the illustrative components create a unique experience for the user. Through powerful calls to action (CTAs) and intentional UX design, we worked hard to better anticipate ways to keep the user on the site and engaged. The website is also translated into multiple languages, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Building a marketplace to help a plant seller disrupt its own 100-year-old business
Building a marketplace that connects buyers and suppliers on a single, price-transparent platform is a great idea — unless it’s competing with your wholesale business.
For over 100 years, the Fiore family has been supplying trees and shrubs to landscapers across the country. Their business, Fiore Nursery and Landscape Supply, operated on the standard wholesale model: they sourced the greenery from growers across the country, and buyers came to them to purchase all the plants they’d need for building sites, golf courses, even zoos. Now Lisa Fiore, the fourth generation of the Fiore Nurseries family, wanted to use all that industry knowledge to create an online marketplace that would disrupt the family’s original business — before someone else did. And she came to Table XI to do it.
The result is LandscapeHub, a web-based, responsive, two-sided marketplace platform built in Rails and React. To learn what we needed to build, we started with a Google Design Sprint, an Inception and a lot of user research to validate everyone’s ideas. Then we paired with LandscapeHub as it built out a technical team, teaching their new hires how we solved tricky data problems and built a marketplace strong enough to support future growth.
The MVP we launched attracted investor interest — enough to turn LandscapeHub into a fully-funded marketplace startup. And it’s self-reliant. We worked with LandscapeHub’s new developers and CTO to fully transition ownership of the product, so they can run with it without needing our help.

Let's face it, medical professionals are used to using pretty outdated software. It doesn't have to be this way though. When we started working with Doctor Wound, they wanted to create their own custom Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System to help them streamline their patient onboarding, ongoing care, and billing. We collaborated with Doctor Wound to create full UI/UX designs for their complex EMR system and transform this into a clickable prototype so that they could see the full user experience.

MOVE Bumpers started as a local custom truck bumper service in Lewistown, Montana in 2013 and quickly evolved into a nationwide, industry leading bumper distributor. To match their growing significance in the industry, MOVE needed an ecommerce website that could keep up with its tremendous growth and brand recognition.
In 2017 we launched a rebrand and a new MOVE Bumpers website, which includes the customized, interactive Bumper Kit Builder feature: a complete game-changer in the DIY bumper building experience.
Through audience research, we discovered that users respond better to a buying process that feels less like a transaction and more like an experience: the more interactive, visual and fun the better. The Bumper Kit Builder is an interactive online shopping experience that allows users to easily swap out different bumper styles and customizations on a sample truck rendering. As customers make selections, the sample truck and price update in real-time to reflect each customization. The site is also 100% mobile-friendly and mobile-compatible, which allows for easy use from any location.
Since the 2017 re-launch, MOVE Bumpers has seen a 70% increase in conversions during yearly holiday seasons, and a 10% increase in traffic overall.
The new site, which boasts a cleaner, more updated UI/UX, is not only more visually appealing but also far more user-friendly.
The new Bumper Kit Builder allows customers to fully envision their DIY bumper kits, giving them a realistic image of the bumper they will build, in addition to accurate pricing based on customizations.The new site is also completely mobile-friendly. Lastly, in addition to the Bumper Kit Builder, MOVE created engaging product detail pages for each bumper type, as well as launched a new product line — the Precision Series. For more details and to check out the total transformation, visit MOVE Bumpers.

They have implemented a data-driven approach to our marketing efforts, which is very important as a non-profit with a limited marketing budget.

Website Redesign
With programs and classes always changing at the YMCA, it’s easy to see how a staff change led to a website buried in old information. We were able to step in, redesign the site completely, build systems for easy information-swapping, and collaborate with the new marketing lead so she felt like this website was her very own.
Social Media Marketing
The Mid-Willamette Family YMCA in Albany, OR understood that social media was the way forward, but didn’t have a full-time marketing person on staff to even begin to explore the jungle. We stepped alongside and efficiently trained, led, and collaborated in a way that established the YMCA as a reach and engagement leader within in the community, particularly on Facebook.
Web Analytics
With the web redesign, Google Analytics was fully integrated into the website, with special attention given to the tour scheduling page that we created to provide a bridge between online engagement and physical sale of memberships. As the Y works to develop standard measurements for its closing and retention rates, we will soon know what the hard value of a scheduled tour is, and can build solid promotional strategies around that data.

ABOUT THE CLIENT
Almost 60 years ago, a small workshop in Puglia started producing furniture, only to grow to become a large company that now exports worldwide.
It is world's best known furniture brand, designing sofas, chairs, tables, beds and more to create harmony throughout the home.
Working with such world-renowned brand is quite an honor, but also fun and interesting challenge.
MAIN TASKS
Our main task was to bring brand awareness to Natuzzi in Croatia through social media and Google advertising. We wanted to reach a target audience and bring to their attention tradition, quality and long-lasting harmony that Natuzzi furniture can create in their home, office or even vacation houses.
By communicating with them on social media and showcasing everything Natuzzi has to offer with created content, it was our goal to impress people with ideal home interior they can create by picking Natuzzi products.
CHALLENGE
Being a luxury brand that it is, we knew from the beginning we’ll have to face a certain amount of criticism.
That’s why right from the start we had to find a way to tackle those who had prejudice or would leave negative comments because of the price.
ADVERTISING




Since Natuzzi has a different campaign each month, depending on the product they want to advertise and achieve bigger sale numbers, we focus our attention toward that.
Each month we plan ahead and decide which furniture pieces will be our prime focus. Then we would come up with creative ways to advertise it through Google Search and Google Display ads, but also Facebook advertising and remarketing campaigns.

Through customized, first-class event experiences, SINC strengthens IT communities by connecting and educating IT executives and software providers.
With increasing attendees signing up for SINC’s specialized IT events, SINC noticed users were struggling to navigate through the site and successfully register. The team also felt the website didn't accurately reflect the mission of the

 organization to provide networking and educational opportunities for IT professionals.
SINC partnered with HMG to create a digital experience for its website visitors that would provide a better representation of its portfolio and clearer CTAs to drive users to take action. 
Developing the site on WordPress, we incorporated a customizable page builder so staff could easily add content and create layouts for each event. The design also included a HubSpot integration that synthesized client data into SINC’s CRM. Our team additionally added enhancements to SINC's existing logo and color palettes for a sharper, modernized brand aesthetic.
SINC’s original website didn’t offer clear differentiation between audiences, so we restructured the site’s architecture with strategic color schemes, messaging, and navigation options. To boost engagement, we incorporated lead generation forms and developed a member login and a highly customized event calendar.
With a sophisticated, modernized site, SINC is now empowered to connect with visitors and truly promote and build community within the IT industry.

Creating a nationwide tennis initiative as part of Sport England's hugely successful This Girl Can ​campaign
Challenge
Following a successful pilot scheme, LTA tasked us with rolling out their Tennis Tuesdays initiative nationwide with a new campaign. In partnership with Nike, Tennis Tuesdays brings coach-led weekly sessions to outdoor tennis clubs across the country, exclusively for women, whatever their skill level. In the wake of Sport England’s This Girl Can campaign, the initiative felt more relevant than ever, and with fantastic consumer insights, we were armed with all we needed to find the heart of the project and get more women signing up.
Solution
‘Tuesday isn’t good for me’
Modern women’s lives are busy, varied, hectic and stressful. Tennis Tuesdays offers a regular slot to keep all for yourself – where you can focus, release the day’s stresses, feel yourself get fitter, stronger and better at the game, and make new friends. All within a short walk of home or work. We wanted to capture that satisfaction of being unavailable when you have another commitment that’s all yours. ‘Tuesday isn’t good for me’, because Tuesday is good for me.
Result
Launched in April 2015, sessions have been selling out and have fantastic repeat sign up – a key performance measure for the initiative. National, regional and consumer media coverage achieved over £250k advertising equivalent value (an increase of almost 400% year on year), and almost a quarter of attendees continued playing tennis beyond the 6 sessions of the scheme. If you fancy getting back in the game this summer, visit tennistuesdays.co.uk and find a session near you!
