Academy Bus

Academy Bus is a major provider of commuter transportation in New Jersey and a major charter service provider in the mid-Atlantic and New England. However, its website was out-of-date and did not reflect its reach. WSITS redesigned and restructured the site to give it a modern look and provide easy access to purchasing commuter tickets, casino tickets and charter quotes. We also set up and manage a pay-per-click ad campaign focused on commuter services. The campaign presents customized ads to searchers within a 10-mile radius of each town along Academy’s commuter routes. Videos were produced for the site and repurposed as cable television buys.

Campaign for Disability Employment

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Campaign for Disability Employment wanted to expand its reach and engagement on social media. WSITS created an editorial calendar that highlighted dates important to the disability community - such as the anniversary of the ADA – and tracked relevant current events, then crafted content aimed at attracting fans and followers and getting them to participate in the conversation. WSITS also recommended organizations and individuals to connect with on the various social platforms. Short advertising flights on Facebook targeted toward users with an interest in disabilities -- indicated either by their self-identified interests or other pages they liked – also helped raise awareness of the campaign. After 10 months, the number of Likes on Facebook had increased 251 percent; the number of followers on Twitter had increased 927 percent and the members of the LinkedIn group had increased 55 percent. Most posts on Facebook are seen by 25 percent to 50 percent of the more than 16,000 users who have liked the page. Read More

Malaria Progress

WSITS was tasked with revamping and relaunching malariaprogress.org by redesigning a new home page, introducting the Special Envoy’s content to the site (which was previously housed on another site), and building the relaunched site in an open-source content management system. Information, Flash maps and news items were consolidated for the two entities on the front end of the site. The CMS was built to ensure easy updating for site administrators, which included allowing for simple updates to dynamic Flash-based maps and malaria coverage projections modules. Read More

NJ Quit2Win

Information about the state’s adult-focused tobacco cessation program was housed on a site that had no consistent navigation.

WSITS redesigned the site, providing a modern look and multiple points of access to the programs providing help to New Jersey residents looking to quit smoking. Video testimonials were filmed showcasing successful quit stories. Read More

In order to promote Verizon FiOS and a Taylor Swift concert tour, WSITS created a contest platform that allowed users to upload a karaoke video of themselves singing a Taylor Swift song.

TV Choice

Verizon wanted to offer its FiOS TV service to New Jersey residents, but the state’s laws required cable companies to negotiate with individual municipalities for the right to deliver TV service. The company approached Winning Strategies to develop a grassroots mobilizaiton effort to education consumers about the issue and provide them tools to support the cause of TV choice. Through a “Take Action” component on TVChoiceNJ.com, consumers were guided through simple steps to contact their state and local representatives regarding the issue. Registrants were kept up to date with a weekly e-newsletter. A password-protected section provided information customized for mayors and legislators. Read More

Participants could upload videos describing their ultimate eye candy or attend an event where street teams filmed videos. On ultimateeyecandy.com, visitors could view the videos and vote for their favorites. “Survivor” contestant Stephenie Lagrossa was one of three celebrity judges who responded comically to each video.
