    Merger Rebrand
    Project Type: Creative
    Review Date: 31 March, 2022
    Social Driver provided branding services for the merger of two national LGBTQ military & veteran nonprofits. They incorporated insight from two boards to produce a name, logo, and branding package. The deliverables have all earned high praise, with the logo and overall brand being versatile and simple. All deadlines were met and communication was a highlight. Their smooth and streamlined process helped us pull everything under the same umbrella to have a united front. I highly recommend them!

    Creating an online resource for a national science organization
    Project Type: Web Design
    Review Date: 28 March, 2022
    My company worked with Social Driver to redesign the UX/IA for a national scientific organization's extensive research resource that was moving from print to online. There was a tight deadline to conceptualize a new user experience and create a framework that our client could review iteratively. Our client was very pleased with the results of the new interactive framework and design. This design was used for the build of the web site which began immediately upon completion. Highly recommend!

    Animated videos
    Project Type: Video Production
    Review Date: 20 March, 2022
    Social Driver was able to take a topic that’s hard to capture in a visual medium and translate it into a moving yet informative animated video. The team had an excellent command of the project details and timelines and kept everything moving along. They were accurate, creative, and highly perceptive. I really enjoy working with Social Driver. The finished product is always spectacular, and the process to get there is organized and straightforward. I'd recommend Social Driver to anybody.

    Review Date: 19 March, 2022
    Hired the Social Driver Team after long review of agencies and independents to develop a B2C web site for a startup company. The Team dug in fast and enthusiastically, first to understand the market, purchasing motivations, and influential imagery for the site. The Team did its own research and incorporated what I brought to the table. The Team was sharp and quick and communicated through workplans the entire schedule, milestone to milestone. The site remained productive for 4 years.

    Social Driver relaunched our patient-facing website at the American Academy of Physicians in 2017. They continue to mange ongoing development of the site. They upgraded the functionality to be appealing and searchable for patients and caregivers. They spurred us to add interactive elements, such as polls and surveys, and worked to help us integrate video, as well. They listened carefully to our needs and were responsive to our processes while offering thought leadership and best practices.

    I've worked with Social Driver on an ongoing basis for the past 3 years. They built out a Wordpress site for us, partners.artsy.net. The process was quick and efficient and the backend tools are easy for junior members of my team to manage. They've been on a monthly retainer since the initial build and continue to keep it up to date and secure.
