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.
