Two Seventeen

Code 217, a contemporary self-defense training and Federal contractor company, was the framework for this veteran filled Special Operator team. It gave them an opportunity to leverage mulitple markets: civilian, military and law enforcement.

We developed a fully integrated eCommerce solution allowing Two Seventeen customer's an online secure payment solution, an interactive website calendar, a course App, customized Mail Chimp direct response campaign, an online store, and interactive social website. This let the Code 217 team focus on students becoming more efficient and proficient with less office time and paperwork. Including Google Anylytics into the platform gave the team a deep data resource on their customers journey.

The contemporary design gave 217 a consistent brand presence across all mediums. Including the development of content generation for Social Media, online and traditional paid advertising and a personal connection to their customer base with a scrollable interactive photographic grid gallery. We also were directly involved with all Federal trademark and LLC filings securing the brands entity for the future. Yep, I delt with all the lawyers!

A rebrand was executed on 09/2023 and the website can be viewed live here: code217.com The intention was to simplfy and create a sophistated, innovative touch-point for three unique target audiences.
