Vote for Unicef UK as your People’s Lovie Award

The Lovie Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the most prestigious honour in Europe for excellence across websites, online advertising, internet video, mobile sites, apps & podcasts and social.

Here’s a recap of what we did

Following a major rebranding which aimed at making the charity a more recognisable name in the United Kingdom, Unicef UK wanted to rebuild their website as an effective tool for communicating their core story and increasing the impact of campaigns and advocacy.

Manifesto developed a visual style for the new Unicef UK site that would dramatically improve the impact of content and its capacity to engage users emotionally. This was achieved through the use of large, full-width images, more dramatic typography and an iconography to tell heart-rending stories, communicate urgent information and invoke empathy. But the visual design also inspires hope and optimism, by leading the visitor to positive actions which help protect the rights of children everywhere.

Despite a reliance on high quality video to convey the immediacy and importance of their work, the site loads quickly, appears beautifully and delivers great experiences across devices and browsers.

Since launching in November 2016, site-wide conversion rates have more than doubled, and cash donations are also up 55% per visitor. Bounce rates have been reduced by 40%, whilst 2017 has recorded the average time spent on the page as 31 seconds.

And in December, online donations increased more than 100% compared to the previous year – setting a new record for Unicef UK as the biggest number of online donations ever.

If you love the homepage as much as we do, vote for Unicef UK!
