Project Description
MSNBC isn’t looking to be everything to everyone. They have a progressive agenda and needed a stronger digital presence to further it. Our work was driven by a unique insight: MSNBC viewers care about issues, not just headlines. Issues inspire people. Issues drive community. By unifying the site with their TV, blogs and social feeds, there was already a community for us to mobilize. We created the new MSNBC.com as THE hub for progressive people to come together…and “To Move Matters.” The proof: visitors increased by 452% and page views have gone up 1818% since the launch of the site.
