Canadian Olympic Committee Website

By sharing athletes’ stories, they inspire all Canadians through the power of sport.
Zync was selected to design, develop and support the official Canadian Olympic Team website: Olympic.ca and Trew Knowledge was selected develop and program the website.
We worked with the COC to map out a content strategy that was not only organized and searchable, but that was also built within a dynamically responsive site. With a plan in mind to organize and make content searchable, we were supporting the mission of the COC to share athletes’ stories and inspire Canadians, but also providing Canadians with information they wanted in a format that works on any device they might own.
By bringing together the right capabilities and the right programming partner in Trew Knowledge, Zync was able to meet the objectives set out by the COC.
Trew Knowledge also worked with the COC to further enhance the user experience for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and are currently working with the COC for on-going support and future digital experience integration's.Other creators -

Speakers' Spotlight Website Redesign
-
After spending 8 months getting to know Speakers’ Spotlight on a deeper lever, it became apparent that the high calibre of business and fresh thinking of the sales and marketing teams weren’t reflected in the design of the website. Thinking long-term and discussing strategies as part of a team, it was decided that a fresh look could improve the way others view this unique company.

Thinking long-term and discussing strategies as part of a team, it was decided that a fresh look could improve the way others view this unique company.
Strategizing alongside a core team from ZYNC Communications, it was clear that Speakers’ Spotlight already offered so much more than just speakers in the industry: we offer inspiration, community and knowledge. Our website needed to demonstrate that.
With an extraordinary team of designers and developers, we created an intuitive, responsive website that we feel is a destination for Event Planners and industry professionals. Keeping audience in mind, the brand new website showcases the core values of Speakers’ Spotlight, highlighting our unique speakers and their inspirational content.Other creators -
