Briteweb is a creative agency based in Vancouver, with offices in Toronto, at the Centre for Social Innovation, and in Brooklyn, New York. It describes itself as a creative agency dedicated to social change, and works with nonprofits, foundations and social impact organisations; its stated aim is to help make the world "more equitable, more just, more sustainable". It is a Certified B Corporation and Living Wage Certified.
Its work pairs brand strategy and visual identity with the website, the campaign and the annual impact report, so that one team carries an organisation's story across all of them. The agency calls itself people-first, publishes a Truth and Reconciliation Action Plan and diversity, equity and inclusion commitments, and names five values: be mindful, stay curious, people first, open hearts, and in it together.
What Briteweb does
- Branding: brand strategy, visual identity and messaging
- Websites: custom website design and development
- Campaigns that translate complex ideas into stories people can follow
- Publications: impact reports and other publications
How it works
Briteweb treats an organisation's brand, website, campaigns and reports as parts of the same story, and offers all four under one roof. This suits a foundation whose identity and site are due for the same rebuild: the strategy and messaging settled in the branding work carry straight into the website and into the reports that follow.
The agency also publishes guidance for the sector in its insights section, including "12 Website Best Practices for Nonprofits and Social Impact Organizations", "When Good Work Goes Unseen: 6 Signs It's Time to Rebrand" and "Principles of Web Accessibility: Designing A Website For Everyone".
