ON THE GRID

BRAND DESIGN, WEB DESIGN, ART DIRECTION

On The Grid is unique from other travel sites because of the people behind its guides. You essentially get an inside look to hoods across the world from the eyes of some of the most creative folks in the industry. My approach was to tap into On The Grid’s strength of its global design community backing. I approached the art direction of social content to highlight the playfulness and curiosity that OTG creates in exploring our world. The strategy was guided by the goal to grasp attention from both the design and travel community.

IMPACT

2.5 k + organic follower growth in two month social strategy sprint. Increase in inquiries from global designers and agencies to create their own On The Grid guides. Increase in On The Grid web new visitor analytics. Strategy adopted by Hyperakt for future social curation and design. On The Grid continues to grow, be awesome, and create a global community of creatives that love and rep their hoods. Peep the OTG Instagram here and website here.

Next Project

On The Grid (OTG) started as an insider guide to the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn by the amazing folks at Hyperakt. Since its 2015 launch, OTG now holds over 537 beautifully crafted guides to neighborhoods across the world, curated by a global squad of designers and agencies.
With an already established fan base, on the grid needed an art direction and social media strategy that would allow them to strengthen their online community, with the overarching goal to reach new curators for future cities on a global scale.

THE CHALLENGE

Implement a social media strategy and design an art direction for on the grid to build and strengthen its global community of designers and creatives.

WHAT I DID

Lead the art direction and social media strategy for On The Grid’s instagram channel, identifying opportunities to strengthen OTG’s global online community, designing social media assets, and managing the online community.
