Serving Justice to the Justice System

07.10.12

Correctional Assocation Home Page

In this hot summer of 2012, it’s important to remember all those who are in the various confines of the United States correctional system. The Correctional Association of New York, an organization advocating for prison justice since 1844, approached Social Ink about rejuvenating their site to reflect changing constituencies.

In 1846, the CA was granted authority by New York State Legislature to inspect prisons and to report its findings and recommendations to the public. The only private organization in New York with unrestricted access to prisons, the CA has remained steadfast in its commitment to inform the public debate on criminal justice for nearly 168 years. The CA utilizes its unique legislative mandate to expose abusive practices, educate the public and policymakers about what goes on behind prison walls, and advocate for systemic, lasting and progressive change.

With a large resource bank to import, various campaigns and coalitions to represent, the CANY needed a fresh look that also reflected the gravity of their work and the depths of their research. We’re happy today to announce the new Correctional Association site and to continue Social Ink’s proud tradition of doing good in the world with technology. For more on the project, click over to the portfolio item or visit their website directly.

Building the Mobile Revolution, Pixel by Pixel

04.24.12

jalpert1

Recently, Social Ink launched a book-centered site to manage press and customer inquiries for The Mobile Marketing Revolution. The book, by fellow Brooklynite and Mobile Commons leader Jed Alpert, addresses how organizations can deal with online presence:

The Mobile Marketing Revolution gives you the framework to listen to, empower, inform, engage, and enlist the very people on which your success depends. From fundraising to polling to selling products and services, this book shows how to use mobile messaging to turn even the briefest initial interaction into a permanent engaged relationship. Better still, you can achieve all this without expanding overhead or building campaigns from scratch, but instead by integrating mobile into your organization’s existing processes and practices.

When the Wing advertising agency decided to leave their Flash-based site and move toward a WordPress-based CMS platform we knew we have a whole lot to offer.

As fellow creatives we understand how important it is to combine presentation and functionality. Following the Social Ink collaborative model, we worked with the Wing art department to convert their designs to a fully functional, dynamic web home, free of flash, but not of powerful slideshows, smooth layered popups, and embedded video.
