Most large water bodies across the country have what is called a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), which is essentially a pollution budget that establishes limits for the amount of pollutants they can receive and remain healthy. Our client at the Lake Champlain Basin Program tasked us with creating a new website to explain TMDL and the problem that pollutants such as phosphorus create. The new Clean Water Commitment website features animations, videos, and other useful resources to show what is being done to keep the lake flourishing and the many ways people in the surrounding areas can help. Design by Steve, illustration and animation by Devin Renca, writing by Ryan Mitchell, and development by Chris and Hannah.

Kyndryl
Spun off from IBM‘s infrastructure services business, Kyndryl is an IT services provider that designs, builds, manages, and develops information systems. The O’Keefe Group came to us in late summer to help them plan and execute a cohesive communications initiative to raise awareness of changes in Kyndryl’s annual benefits enrollment. We created guides, emails, and intranet banners that grab viewer’s attention and deliver important information to Kyndryl workers around the world. Writing by Philip, Teryl, and JoAnne.
