Digital platforms for arts leadership

We developed new digital platforms for the Royal Academy of Punjab, deepening engagement and scaling educational offerings, while growing new audiences.

The Right Tools for the Culture

Royal Academy wanted to serve various audiences, from young learners to adults and alumni. We began by analyzing the academy’s operations, identifying key pain points, and establishing avenues for growth. We integrated a user-friendly calendar and scheduling system that allowed staff to easily manage content and event publishing. To scale the academy's educational offerings, we introduced Thinkific, a learning management platform, for self-directed courses and video content delivery.

To address the diversity of needs, we created a compelling storytelling experience highlighting the academy’s vision and cultural richness using the Webflow CMS, while leveraging the platform’s e-commerce features for merchandise sales.
