U21 has 26 research-intensive university members, 1.3 million students, over 220,000 staff, budgets amounting to over US$25bn and an annual research grant income of over US$6.5bn.
One of the biggest challenges of this project was understanding the function, roles and specific content types of U21. A new brand was also being used for the first time and therefore it’s application to digital was also being tested and any shortcomings addressed.
Another challenge, was trying to make some of the rather dry content more visually interesting, yet professional to a varied audience from students to University Chancellors.
