Communications and Branding Working Group Dina Meek (15 mins)
The ACCESS Communications Committee works to coordinate communications across all service track areas meeting bi-weekly for updates and to address any concerns.
Recently the team collaborated on:
Share Your News - team members representing the ACO, Allocations and Support coordinated in developing content for a new web page
It will allow anyone in the HPC community to submit content for consideration (and some will automatically post) for promotion
The links to share announcements and events are also published in the ACCESS Advance newsletter (47k subscribers)
A Get Involved page on our website that can be pointed to from presentations and other promotions
Process to Submit Content - the team is finalizing a document
Outlining how to submit content for posting to ACO-managed comms vehicles
Providing a form to facilitate the process
Updating the ACCESS brochure for PEARC
Comms team members provided fresh content - as applicable - as we had to reprint our existing brochure
Additionally, team members:
Created a Content Calendar so anyone interested can get a sense of what we are publishing
Launched our LinkedIn presence
Finally, April saw our best statistics yet on social media (not including the launch of LinkedIn)
b. The ACCESS Web Presence & Branding Working Group works together on updates that would affect/apply across all sites.
This team has made a lot of headway in getting all sites to align in terms of brand and UIUX.
We’re very close to having our top navigation and footers aligned
See ACCESS Home dropdown menu
We’ll be utilizing icons for Home and Search
Q Ltd, the ACO web dev agency, is working with the group next to create a unified Login experience
We will be loading the Style Guide and other documentation to a GitHub repository owned by ACCESS
Additionally, the team worked together to:
Develop a Resource Providers page to elevate RPs’ presence on the sites
This is accessible from navigation across all sites
We will also be linked from the large dialogue boxes on our homepage
We are now all using Google Tag Manager (nexgen Google Analytics)
We will be doing focus groups with RPs and Users to help determine next updates
We are waiting on current web work across sites to be completed so may be later summer, early fall
