The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The Gates Foundation needed a site to highlight their efforts in their own back yard, Washington State, so they came to GMMB. This is one of those projects where the client didn't know they needed what they needed until we asked questions they hadn't thought of. And while the content wasn't compelling, we found a way to still make it attractive and engaging.
