SeePolitical
Animated Shorts and Digital Platform to Inform Voters
As a founding partner of SeePolitical, a 501c3 nonprofit, our goal was to provide voters with simple, unbiased explanations of state ballots. Short, entertaining videos make complex issues easy to understand as you exercise your right to vote.
what we did
Working with SeePolitical founder Nate Kaplan for two election cycles, we guided students from OTIS College of Art and Design and USC through the process of understanding State propositions, creating explanation videos, and finding the most effective ways to reach voters.
and then...
The animated series was distributed in 5 languages on traditional and digital platforms, with an emphasis of reaching underserved communities. In total, the videos were viewed by approximately 6 million people as they headed to the voting booths.
