Environmental Advocacy Websites

At times the right communication and advocacy tool is a campaign microsite to organize and promote relevant messages and house resources. openbox9 built over 12 websites educating and equipping on topics including restoration of the Gulf, offshore wind, and sustainable agricultural growing practices. Solutions include designing database structures, visualizing interactive maps, integrating with third-party political action tools, and designing user interfaces.

Multi-Pronged Social Media Strategy

With an understanding of National Wildlife Week’s goals, target audience, and key messages, openbox9 developed a social media campaign that aligns with our identity work and platform trends. We designed a cohesive visual and content strategy (including graphics and copy) tailored for each social media channel and audience focus. With A/B tests, next year’s success levels will grow more wild!
