SCIENCE STORYTELLING + WEBSITE REDESIGN

IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center

Cancer research is so much more than numbers, vials, and beakers. It’s passionate people making life-changing discoveries. IU Simon chose Stamats to help tell their groundbreaking stories.

The Challenge

Stories of Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center’s groundbreaking cancer research – and the people who make these discoveries happen – were getting lost in the complex navigation of an outdated website design.

The team wanted to revitalize their brand voice and create a dynamic storytelling platform to highlight the scientists and data that drive their lifesaving work.

The Approach

Stamats teamed up with IU Simon to deliver a fresh, new site that reconnects with the cancer community – internally, locally, and internationally. The new site includes:

  • Clear calls-to-action
  • Streamlined navigation
  • Impactful content sections: Stats, news, and program highlights
  • Shared and dynamic content features
  • Increased clinical trial visibility
  • Interconnectivity with IU allied sites
  • Harmony with IU Health and IU School of Medicine content
