Happy 250th Birthday, Brown!

Feb 05, 2014By Voltaire Santos Miran

Last week Brown University launched Imagine Brown 250+ to commemorate the University’s semiquincentenary. Over the course of the next year, the site will gather images, stories, milestones, videos, and memories from members of Brown’s global community, as well as the University’s archives.

Our team had the pleasure of working with Brown to develop and execute their vision for what a site this important should be. Says Doug Gapinski, strategist and creative mastermind for the project, “We were thrilled to partner with Brown on this project! Having worked on the University’s main site, we had a good deal of knowledge about and a great deal of respect for the institution. We’re honored to help Brown celebrate its 250th year through this highly interactive and engaging site.”

What excites me most about the site — beyond its tablet-first design approach — is that social is baked into its DNA. Visitors can join the celebration by submitting content for the timeline or media galleries, by commenting on stories, and by sharing content with their own communities. This level of open dialogue and invitation to engage is very Brown.

In the weeks to come, the interactive timeline and photo galleries for the site will come online, as the site grows more and more robust in anticipation of Brown’s Semiquincentary Opening Celebration in early March 2014.
