The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute is the global leader in product circularity standards. To reflect this positioning, they needed a contemporary digital presence that not only felt fresh but also reinforced their thought leadership by effectively showcasing the full scope of their initiatives.
As Director of Marketing Communications, I led the development of a new online headquarters in collaboration with creative agency JUST—delivering a high-impact website designed to elevate brand identity and thought leadership. The new site features a magazine-style homepage, intuitive navigation, and a user-friendly CMS, ensuring seamless content updates. It also provides a structured, engaging way to present the Institute’s mission, key programs, and industry insights, making it a go-to resource for stakeholders across the circular economy landscape.
Alongside the website, I led the development of a broader, integrated content strategy to ensure a dynamic and far-reaching digital presence. This approach extended beyond the platform itself, leveraging multiple content formats—including articles, reports, videos, webinars, and social media assets—to create a cohesive narrative that engaged diverse audiences across channels. Hero content was strategically placed on the website, serving as an anchor for deeper storytelling, while additional materials were adapted and amplified across digital touchpoints to maximize reach and engagement.
By aligning the website with a content ecosystem designed for ongoing engagement, we positioned the Institute not just as a certification body, but as a knowledge hub, driving thought leadership and action within the circular economy. This holistic approach ensured that every piece of content contributed to a unified message, reinforcing the Institute’s authority while making complex topics accessible and actionable for a global audience—all while moving the circular economy agenda forward.

What began as a project to redesign the website of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) quickly revealed a more complex challenge. As we explored the digital landscape, it became clear that GRI’s digital ecosystem spanned multiple platforms, audiences, and systems, requiring a holistic, integrated approach beyond just a new site.
As the project lead, I directed this strategic transformation in collaboration with creative agency Iris Worldwide, working to harmonize digital platforms, messaging, and brand families across all owned and third-party digital channels. The goal was to create a seamless, consistent brand experience by aligning:
This approach ensured that every touchpoint—social media, websites, and partner platforms—reinforced GRI’s global leadership in ESG reporting.
Through a comprehensive audit of GRI’s digital assets, we identified key opportunities to:
✅ Streamline communications for greater clarity
✅ Reduce fragmentation across platforms
✅ Enhance accessibility for diverse audiences
✅ Optimize engagement through data-driven insights
This work laid the foundation for a cohesive new website, integrating insights from audience engagement and digital performance analytics to ensure clarity, accessibility, and impact.
By taking a strategic, ecosystem-wide approach, this project transformed GRI’s digital presence into a unified, strategically aligned network that:
✔ Strengthens brand authority
✔ Maximizes audience engagement
✔ Supports long-term growth and influence
This was more than a website redesign—it was a digital evolution that positioned GRI for the future and still is in place today.
