The Rookies
We helped The Rookies reach aspiring creatives.
The folks at The Rookies can’t help but inspire everyone around them. As successful creatives in their own right, the team works feverishly to give students in fields like animation, design, fashion, film, and gaming a career launchpad. Once their WordPress setup started struggling to match the roadmap, The Rookies sought our help for a custom community.
The result? A new town square. The Rookies’ application meets their vision for one-of-a-kind project submissions and a unique contest flow — with prizes that have us looking to join in. It’s a jumping off point for connecting, mentoring, and, ultimately, setting the next wave of creatives up for success.
