Provokateur launches new Body and Soul website

provokateur — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:25:38 +0000

As websites go, Body and Soul was always going to be an ambitious project – after all, they’re ambitious people. The final site, however, is an impressive mix of design, function and content that immediately stands out and impresses the visitor.

Produced in Wordpress and incorporating a fat whack of video and animation, the site is immediately engaging. The slideshow format supports text, PDFs, videos and images, presenting a rich range of content to site visitors. Naturally, it’s seamlessly integrated with Facebook, Twitter and Just Giving.

You can see the site here. Please do – they’re a great organisation who now have a great website!

Out of Trouble campaign for Prison Reform Trust

Joshua — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:27:37 +0000

Last year over 7,000 prison sentences were given to children. It might be the kind of thing that appeals to Daily Mail readers, but the evidence shows that prison should be the last resort. Far from preventing crime, locking up kids not only embeds social problems but fails to deal with the problem of young offenders.

The Prison Reform Trust asked Provokateur to help create an online campaign around this important issue and the result is a textbook piece of ecampaigning – creative, engaging and involving.

Provokateur was lucky to work with award winning photographer Ed Clarke who provided a library of incredibly powerful images for the site. These images, combined with key facts about juvenile detention, gave the website an immediate impact. Provokateur also helped set up Twitter and Facebook groups for the campaign, while building into the website a database tool that would allow visitors to locate and email their MPs.

What makes us proud is that the site combines creative punch with technical nous. This is an uncomfortable, even unpopular, issue to campaign on but the result is something that we hope is thought provoking – and effective.

Provokateur and The Truth About TB

Joshua — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:47:43 +0000

The website for The Truth About TB campaign is a new initiative from the folk at TB Alert to find a clear, simple way of informing the public about the disease, challenging common misconceptions and ensuring people have the knowledge to recognise the symptons and know where to go if they’re worried.

The website was designed around the personal stories of TB patients, drawn from all walks of life. Using videos embedded within the site, visitors can find out about treatment. It’s also got some neat functionality, including a feature that allows you to find your nearest doctor based on your postcode information. Plans are also underway to create some clever widgets for partners in the health sector to use on their own sites… so watch this space.

And in the meantime, you can check out the site here: www.thetruthabouttb.org

The initial website that needed to be launched with the new brand but it was always the intention to create a more sophisticated and better developed site.

The new site amalgamates the vast amounts of content related to Mr Annan’s various activites, visits, speaking engagements and news articles in one place, providing a useful and engaging website for partner organsiations, journalists, media and the public.

Provokateur worked closely with the Foundation’s team in Geneva to ensure they well were all fully trained up and ready to manage the site themselves.

The Elders go live

provokateur — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:36:28 +0000

The Elders came to us in April with a call to help them improve and update their website. The site, built in Drupal open-source content management system, is the Elders’ primary way of reaching both the general public and the media so it really needed to have a clear and easily navigated structure as well as an enticing and eye-catching design. As you can imagine with 12 high profile members including Mary Robinson, Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan, a lot of new content is added daily so the site needs to be easy to manage for the Elders communications team.

The Elders

It’s not an organisaion in a traditional sense so much as a group of eminent global leaders convened by Nelson Mandela and Graça Machel to bring their experience and independent voices to the resolution of conflict and to the alleviation of human suffering.

The opportunity to work for an organisation that includes within its company Nelson Mandela, Mary Robinson, Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and Aung San Suu Kyi is both thrilling and daunting. We’ll keep you posted.
