Web Trends for Social Change Organizations in 2012

See the FutureOn Thursday, November 24, I had the pleasure of hosting a group of social change innovators for a breakfast presentation on top Web Trends for Social Change Organizations in 2012. Despite the early hour, we had a good crowd. I was pleased to present the top trends that I see in my unique position as a web developer that works with so many different social change organizations.  I see many of the trends that are impacting our clients and this was a good time to reflect as the year flips over. I'm always fascinated by how our clients overcome challenges and innovate their work to benefit social change.

Home page of BCSAF orgA recent project that we’ve had a chance to work on was a project for the BC Self Advocacy Foundation. This organization assists people with developmental disabilities to become full participating citizens in their own communities. Agentic was hired to work with the staff at the BCSAF to develop a new web presence and to help them engage their audience. One of the key issues for a group like this is making a website to be accessible to people with developmental disabilities. A developmental disability is a life-long condition that means a person develops differently, and more slowly than others. The

Summertime update

 Vancouver has been a cold and wet place this summer, apparently with the most rain in 20 years! Still, we've been working away and are happy to welcome a number of new projects, including a web redesign for the Writer's Union of Canada, a strategic creative engagement for the Coquitlam Watershed project, and building a virtual community of practice for the Canadian government. It will be a busy fall and  it'll be the first time we welcome fall weather as an improvement over summer!

Melting Silos 2010

We've launched the new 2010 Melting Silos program, which is a development project for five innovative narrative projects. Melting Silos is supported by Telefilm Canada and by partners NFB and Praxis Screenwriters. We matched 5 ideas and their creators with 5 digital media companies, including Agentic as one of them. The one we're working on is based on a short film by Claudia Medina and Leah Temper, Life After Growth. You can also read more about the development of all the projects.

Roosevelt Institute

Exciting work ahead this summer anchored by the Roosevelt Institute's new website and campus network. Based in New York City, the Roosevelt Institute continues to focus the legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's progressive ideas forward, through developing a new think tank of progressive thought in the United States. We're pretty stoked to be involved because of the close relationship between President Obama's new stimulus packages and Roosevelt's New Deal - in fact, it's the "New Deal 2.0"! Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this ambitious project.

It's a new year and it promises to be a busy one! We're quite pleased at the number of recent projects that will keep us busy for a while! We're happy to be currently working on new websites for MOSAIC, Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Granville Island and Coastal Jazz, including the new TD Canada Trust Vancouver Jazz Festival. Plus, we're working on some new campaigns for the Living Oceans Society, Sierra Club and the David Suzuki Foundation. All in all, some really exciting work. It gives me a lot of gratitude to be working with clients of this calibre!
