Case Study: How Mindsailing Introduced A Pandemic Preparedness Initiative To The World

At Mindsailing, we strive to help brands achieve their business goals and make a lasting impact. In March of 2020, at the beginning of a global pandemic, we were tapped to launch the web presence for a first-of-its-kind pandemic preparedness initiative. The Rapidly Emerging Antiviral Drug Development Initiative (READDI) is a global scientific collaboration dedicated to giving humanity an early advantage against future diseases.

 

Launch a comprehensive, branded online platform in six weeks

READDI had development goals and media demands that required fast action. They selected Mindsailing to execute a marketing sprint and bring this story of scientific innovation to life via a new website and brand video — all within six weeks.

  

The process: How we moved quickly and effectively

Set a strong strategic foundation

We started with web platform audits and stakeholder interviews to create a strategic blueprint. We then crafted a message platform, design standards and website wireframes to serve as the foundation of the work that followed.

Deliver award-winning creative

Using our strategy as a launching pad, our team created informative and engaging content for the site, including a virtual press kit, infographics and interactive maps.

Mindsailing produced a brand video introducing READDI to the public. Within weeks of release, the “We Are READDI” video was recognized with a 2020 Hermes Platinum Award.
