THE BRIEF
Women comprise only 26% of tech occupations, despite making up nearly half of the US workforce. Rise Labs, a new coding bootcamp, wants to change that. Their mission is to teach women and non-binary individuals how to code in order to build viable tech careers and a solid network of mission-driven tech workers. Through community-based learning, live classes, and a strong mentorship program, Rise Labs creates a clear path into STEM careers.
As a new course, it was crucial to create a brand that could break through the competitive market to reach the target audience. The visual identity needed to appeal to folks who have historically been marginalized by the tech industry, so an approachable tone was critical. It was also important to highlight the brand's unique offerings.
