If you're selected, we'll tag you back by Friday. Good luck! --- The why behind the refresh from Tara Robertson, CMO: "Our customers are at the heart of this refresh—and at the heart of everything we do here at Bitly. We redesigned our website to make it easier to find exactly what you need, from content and support materials to get you started to inspiration and examples of Bitly in action across a number of industries and use cases. We know that every single digital touchpoint matters for businesses big and small—and that goes for us, too! That’s why we focused on delivering for our customers with this refresh first and foremost. It’s not just about colors and fonts (though those are important elements!). It’s about creating the best possible experience for your customers. Here’s how we strived to do that with the Bitly brand refresh: 🔗 🤳 📄 📊 Bitly Links, Bitly Codes, Bitly Pages, and Bitly Analytics are here! We wanted our products to be more recognizable as we continue to build on our Connections Platform and expand our offerings. This renaming will help our customers easily identify and connect with our entire product line within our platform. 🧡🧡🧡 Championing DEI is one of our core values here at Bitly, and we wanted to bring this value to life in our brand refresh. We created stronger contrast ratios to ensure everyone can easily navigate and interact with our site and also developed a new illustration style to celebrate diversity in all its forms. 🔌🔌🔌 Bitly is an integral part of our customers' everyday workflows, so we’ve revamped our Bitly Marketplace to better showcase our incredible network of integration partners. From social media management and automation tools to productivity and creativity apps, we integrate with dozens of other solutions our customers already use. Now it’s easier than ever to explore them! (More at: https://lnkd.in/ec5U6iDn) 🌎🌍🌏 We’re also committed to supporting our international audiences in their languages. Throughout 2024 and beyond, we’ll be rolling out versions of our website in multiple languages, ensuring that our solutions are accessible and relevant to users worldwide. Of course, the work never truly ends as we continue to add more helpful content and resources to our site to inspire our customers to create more meaningful connections, so stay tuned for more! We’re also deeply grateful to our customers for their continuous support and feedback. Brand refreshes aren’t easy, but they’re essential to reflect our growth, values, and commitment to providing the best experience possible." --- Thanks to Vicente Casellas, Jenny Coppola, Armanii Glaspie, MBA and Daniel Wiersema for their acting chops and athletic prowess.

🍊 Ahhh... (Brand) Refreshing! 🍊 The why and how we went about updating Bitly's look Words from Vicente Casellas, Creative Director When you've been around as long as we have, every once in a while, it's time for a change. Keep what's working (the Short Links, the QR Codes, the Landing Pages) and take a fresh look at what we could improve upon (accessibility, navigation, inclusivity). Ultimately, we're still the same Bitly, you know and love, but with some essential upgrades in some key areas. You can see all of these across Bitly.com and our social channels. Here are the key highlights of our refresh: 🗣️ 😜Voice & Personality: We've amplified Bitly's personality, highlighting traits like warm and friendly, energetic, fun, knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy, inspiring, and welcoming. ♿️ 🚧 Accessibility Improvements: Our brand colors now have a stronger contrast ratio, and the Bitly orange color you’re probably used to seeing is more muted, allowing for a more inclusive digital environment. 🔠 🔡 Updated Font: Drumroll, please. We are now introducing our new font, Bitly Displaay, a modern typeface that complements our brand personality and enhances brand recognition. 🫱🏻🫲🏽 🧵 Inclusive & Active Imagery: Our hand-drawn illustrations reflect a diverse audience and show the human side of our brand. Additionally, our illustrations help tell the story of how the Bitly Connections Platform can unlock moments of connection using our new "thread." 💻 🖼️ Site Navigation and Solutions: The Bitly.com homepage got a colorful facelift, but more importantly, we've reorganized and revamped our product, solution, resource, and use case pages to highlight Bitly's benefits for a wide variety of audiences and industries. Vicente took a deeper dive into his and his team's creative process here ---> https://lnkd.in/gR_PXXcZ

Pride with a (diving) platform Words and lessons from Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham OAM OLY Last month, we celebrated Pride at Bitly and hosted Australian Gold Medalist and out-athlete Matthew Mitcham. Mitcham made headlines by coming out before the Beijing Olympic games. He topped the podium (with the single highest dive score in the Games' history) and became the first openly gay Olympic Champion. His 18-year career also includes the "golden trifecta," adding top performances at the World Cup (2010) and Commonwealth Games (2014) to his long list of competitive accolades. Matthew has used his platform as an ambassador, speaker, and entertainer to advocate for mental health and well-being issues and the LGBTQIA+ community. He told our Bitizens: "Allyship is internal, but there is no such thing as passive allyship. There needs to be explicit, open inclusive acts to make an impact. Small acts from saying "please bring your partner" rather than "girlfriend/boyfriend" or adding pronouns to your email/profile to show that you are a safe space for a gender-diverse person. These tiny acts of inclusion really matter...Pride is needed and necessary to combat the years of shame queer people hold. It is a celebration of identity and inclusion." We're so appreciative of Matthew's time and talk. We'd like to thank Luke Reynebeau for bringing him to Bitly and Marcus Parris for helping lead our LBGTQIA+ ERG.

DEI FTW Women We Admire names Jackie Cureton to top award "What a pleasant surprise and honor to receive this recognition and be in such great company. Thank you, 'Women We Admire,' for this. I'm extremely proud of our work and our Bitizens who are engaged and helping make this an inclusive and amazing place to work." More on our commitment to DEI ---> https://lnkd.in/gxxffYXr
