Introduction:

 

Nestled within the academic corridors of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Impact Studios is not merely a podcast production studio; it is a dynamic force in the exploration of research and academia. Impact Studios prides itself on being a creative hub that brings scholarly discussions to life through the art of podcasting. This case study unveils the collaborative journey of Impact Studios and Pulse Agency, as they set out to reimagine the studio’s identity and elevate its online narrative via revamped branding and a particularly original website.

The challenge

This project’s complexity included:

 

  • A branding refresh that must define a new identity while remaining consistent with the UTS brand identity and requirements. 
  • A new website with a completely new user experience, additional functionality, and interactions with other APIs such as OMNY (a well-known podcast distribution provider). 
  • A content hub structure map and design aligned the intended user experience, and some backend widgets to allow their staff streamline their online operations. 
  • Extensive collaboration with animator “Fionn McCabe” to use his unique artwork as the major actor in the website design. It’s worth noting that for the digital assets, Fionn uses a technique called risograph, which entails printing and rescanning each frame of the hand-drawn animation drawings to get a rich texture on the finished products. The website’s build and design had to be adapted to their multi-step workflow in order to synch with their team while they developed these extremely complex processed deliverables

 

The solution

Fionn McCabe’s distinctive artwork became an integral part of the narrative, implemented digitally through innovative techniques to ensure a visually rich outcome. Social media features were amplified, weaving seamlessly into the podcast streaming experience.

 

 

Results

The website redesign, with its intuitive UX, empowers the Impact Studios team to showcase their podcast collection, share data, and present a compelling narrative. The inclusion of McCabe’s artwork adds a visually striking element. Pulse Agency successfully modernizes Impact Studios within the UTS umbrella, achieving a seamless integration of branding elements, podcast streaming, and a captivating online story. The results speak to a transformed Impact Studios, now poised for a dynamic and engaging digital future.
