A digital platform designed
to move hearts—and open minds.

Seton Hall University is a nationally recognized Catholic university known for developing students in mind, heart, and spirit—a mission supported by a network of generous donors. As the Advancement team prepared to launch their first public giving campaign in nearly two decades, they wanted to make donating easy while sharing the heart behind it. So JK built a brand new campaign site that combined a smart, intuitive user experience with a mission-driven story.

Making giving matter.

With a goal to raise $225 million—their largest and most significant in Seton Hall history—we needed to get people invested in more ways than one. Through our discovery process, we learned that donors don’t just want to give to a campaign, they want to believe in it. 

Inspiring pride and participation

Turning a $225M goal into a story everyone can believe in.

Impact in action

Bringing the people and impact of the campaign front and center.

Creating a site with purpose.

We used every element of the site to communicate impact. Bold headlines and emotionally driven content told the story of Seton Hall’s legacy. People-centric photography and testimonials brought the faces of the Campaign front and center. And interactive features called attention not only to the money raised, but the purpose behind it.

Extending the story across every touchpoint.

The final touch: a social campaign designed to drive traffic to the site. We designed flexible social and email templates that delivered consistency across the Campaign’s digital presence while making it easy for anyone in Advancement and Marketing to use.

Inspiring belief—and generosity.

The response was overwhelmingly positive. Focus groups described feeling proud, inspired, and connected—motivated by stories that show exactly where gifts go and who they help. And the Advancement team called the partnership exceptional, praising JK’s speed, collaboration, and ability to translate a bold vision into a heartfelt, human experience.
