Research Triangle Park Telling the Digital Story of a Research Community
When one of NC’s top business organizations wanted a new online presence, Atlantic BT delivered a socially-enabled digital experience.
overview
RTP needed a holistic digital experience that engaged the community in discussion.
North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park is home to more than 200 technology companies employing more than 50,000 experts in micro-electronics, telecommunications, biotechnology, big data, and environmental sciences. Led by a board of directors drawn from top companies and universities, the RTP has been an epicenter of research for more than 50 years.
But to keep this story moving forward, the RTP needed a digital presence reflecting the ingenuity, collaboration, and vision that defined the organization. This meant updating the text-driven legacy site into a dynamic, mobile-optimized online experience. Atlantic BT brought this digital vision to life.
Visual Storytelling:
Content means more than text. We used used video and tiled images of research and collaboration to convey RTP's message.
The Challenge
As one of the world’s top business organizations, the Research Triangle Park needed a new vision for its homepage. The existing RTP.org lacked social media engagement, was not optimized for mobile, and did not reflect the community of the RTP.
The Strategy
Atlantic BT transformed the RTP legacy site into a socially-engaged experience. The new RTP.org relies on images and interactivity to facilitate user exploration and sharing of RTP content.
The Results
The new RTP.org integrated the culture and vision of the Research Triangle Park into the new site. This reimagined digital presence drew in nearly 178,000 new users and reached more than 22,000 followers on Twitter.

Research-Driven Design
After extensive analysis, research, and interviews with RTP leaders, we designed an intuitive site that facilitated navigation with menu drawers and interactive maps.
Visual Storytelling
Rich innovation demands more than a text-heavy website. Using tiled images of research and collaboration, we presented a visual story to show how RTP leads a community of collaboration.
Mobile Optimization
To engage university students and young professionals on the move, we created a mobile- and socially-optimized design for RTP.org.
Multi-Tiered Menu
To streamline site navigation at RTP.org, we designed a web interface that relied on a dynamic menu. This always-on menu used mouseover capabilities to make it simple for visitors to quickly find the information they needed.
Social Content API
We built a social content API to allow visitors to RTP.org to share images, videos, and articles. Users are now encouraged to contribute to the RTP story on social channels.
Digital Style Guide
To equip the RTP leadership for future updates, we created content management tools that made it easy to post and share new content assets.
