Case Study
AAEC Editorial Cartoonist
A central platform designed to unify, support, and amplify the voices of editorial cartoonists.
The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) needed a robust online platform to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech. The site had to serve as a hub for editorial cartoonists, providing resources and support while promoting their human, civil, and artistic rights.
Additionally, the platform needed to facilitate communication and collaboration among cartoonists and stand in solidarity with international groups supporting the profession. Key features included effortless cartoon management, user profile empowerment, tailored subscriptions, and seamless cartoon scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got any Questions?
Let us know! Reach out and our team will get right back to you.
- In many cases, yes. We have clients who are willing to speak with prospects as references. Reach out and let us know which project you're interested in we'll check with the client and make the introduction if they're open to it.
- Project timeline information is included in each case study. Our process is milestone-based with defined delivery dates overruns happen in any complex project, but we communicate early when timelines are at risk rather than surprising clients at the end.
- It varies by project and is specified in each case study. Some engagements are end-to-end we handle design, development, and launch. Others are collaborative, where we work alongside an in-house team that owns certain pieces. We're comfortable in both configurations.
- Technology choices in each case study reflect what was right for that specific project. We work across a broad range of stacks and recommend tools based on your requirements, not habit. If you're using a different tech stack, we'll assess compatibility and give you an honest view of the most practical path forward.
- We only publish case study details with explicit client permission. For work covered by NDA, we may describe the type of project and outcome without identifying the client. If a specific project you've heard about isn't visible in our portfolio, it's likely under NDA reach out and we'll share what we can.
- We offer post-launch maintenance and support retainers for every project type. Many of the clients featured in our portfolio have been with us long after the initial launch for updates, improvements, new feature development, and ongoing marketing or optimization. Long-term engagement is something we actively design our client relationships around.
