Overview

Enriching Jewish Student Lives At Cal Berkeley

Berkeley Hillel serves as the vibrant center for Jewish students at UC Berkeley, offering inclusive community, Shabbat dinners, kosher meals, leadership programs, holidays, and personal growth opportunities in a welcoming home away from home. We partnered to craft an engaging, modern digital platform that highlights their mission, programs, events, and community stories while streamlining donations, newsletter sign-ups, and involvement. Our comprehensive strategy included website redesign, local SEO optimization, branding refinement, and targeted ad campaigns that boosted visibility and drove increased student engagement and support.
