About the award winning projects:

ARN.com.au is the single content publishing platform for all 11 stations owned by Australian Radio National. The site architecture revolves around a shared content repository that enables producers to quickly syndicate different articles to all sites across the network, along with the ability to edit the placement of content on each consumer site. This facilitates huge operational efficiencies, and has transformed the content production team into a highly nimble publishing outfit.

Site stickiness and seamless transitioning of the user to other related content on the 11 consumer facing platforms was key to development, as was a mobile-first approach to defining the user experience.

enableme is an innovative online portal to assist Australian stroke survivors in everyday activities after formal rehabilitation ends. It combines information, advice and the ability to set personal goals, while also enabling connection with other stroke survivors, carers and families.

A world-first digital initiative, the hyper-accessible web platform has ground breaking online accessibility standards. The site settings can be customised to help meet a range of individual needs that stroke survivors may have, including vision, communication and mobility issues.

The Ed & The Curious Crew at The Royal Children’s Hospital is an interactive app. It is a passport for young people to explore some of the hospital’s behind-the-scenes secrets and opens the door to bigger themes, like education, fundraising and sustainability. The app is supported by teaching prompts – for kindergarten through to secondary school – for creative explorations in the classroom and beyond. It is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play as a free download. It was developed by Deepend and the RCH Education Institute with support from the RCH Foundation.

Deepend is proudly part of a four-agency collective, the Deepend Group. The Deepend Group portfolio includes the leading specialist agencies Deepend (Digital), How To Impact (Innovation), Nomad (Emerging Tech) and History Will Be Kind (PR/Content/Social Media).
