Chester agency eJIGSAW has been chosen by the Virgin Strive Challenge, set by Richard Branson’s son Sam, to build their new website.
The Strive challenge was set up in 2014 by Sam Branson and his cousin Noah Devereux and involved a small team of people testing themselves via a series of ultra-endurance challenges, all to raise funds for the youth charity Big Change.
Big Change was created in 2012 by Holly and Sam Branson and four friends to think differently about the role charity can play in driving positive change for young people across the UK.
The charity finds and supports early-stage projects or charities that are rethinking the way of setting up young people in the UK so that they can thrive in life and not just in exams.
In September 2018, a group will travel from Sardinia to the top of Mont Blanc.
Neil Coleman, Head of Digital at eJIGSAW, said: “Working with the Strive team has been an amazing experience. The work they do at Big Change and the challenges they complete are a testament to their ethos and character, and we were absolutely delighted that they chose eJIGSAW to design and build their new website.
“The 2018 challenge looks absolutely epic and we’re massively proud to be a part of it.”
The team from the Virgin Strive Challenge approached eJIGSAW in late 2017 to redesign and develop the website for the 2018 challenge, and also to build a bespoke and secure cloud application to hold all entrant details.
The primary goal of the website was to improve the design and in particular the user experience, ensuring that the signing-up process was more enjoyable, streamlined, secure, and efficient.
eJIGSAW worked closely with the Virgin Strive and Big Change teams, as well as the Virgin Brand Team.
