Testimonials
“With limited time, staff and budgets, we have always chosen to pour our efforts into the growth and enrichment of youTHink over building its brand identity. We made a decision that the students and the work always come first. But, the team and talents at AZDS Propel have made it possible for us to prioritize both, and with such investment. Danielle and Adam were incredible and attentive project managers and problem solvers. They helped us build a product that professionalizes the program with close consideration to how our difference audiences will use it. In the end, we are confident that the website they delivered will attract new support, provide confirmation for the already invested and finally give the program and its youth a meaningful platform to showcase their efforts.”
Carly Harrill, Chief Advancement Officer at ShareWell, the institution behind youTHink and the Cayton Children’s Museum

“I’m writing to say how impressed my wife and I were with the broad range of digital expertise that AZDS brought to the table during our project. We are a very new non-profit and we had precious few resources available to devote to creating our website. Danielle and her team took each challenge in stride as we went from concept to finished website in a very short amount of time. Since we “went live” many people have complimented the professionalism of the site. Beth and I are sure that some very significant donations came in, after people we didn’t know, spent time learning about us at the site.
In addition, Danielle and Adam, helped us chose a donation platform and start a Google Adwords Campaign. Thanks to their knowledge, they even got our non-profit a grant to pay for digital advertising. We can’t thank AZDS enough for all their help (all pro-bono) and we can’t recommend them enough! We would do it with them again, in a heartbeat!”

The AZDS Propel Foundation also works with Arts Integration Solutions on other efforts to expand arts in the classroom through SEO, co-developing a webinar series, social media marketing, and successfully obtaining a $50,000 Google Adwords grant in furtherance of our SEM efforts.
Denver Art Museum
AZDS Propel was very excited to work with the Denver Art Museum in their efforts to create a “buzz” around their newest project: renovating the Gio Ponti-designed North Building. Propel vetted and provided recommendations for a new donation and crowdfunding platform to support their campaign as well as the Buzzbee trailer, which helped serve the museum’s student visitors while the North Building was being renovated. These donations helped the more than 50,000 school kids experience a museum visit that artfully incorporates subjects like, math, language, science and history.
Propel also created a campaign strategy plan to generate donations and awareness for the re-envisioned North Building. This strategy plan also included a list of social influencers and gamebook to generate buzz around the crowdfunding campaign. Finally, Propel designed and coded a new email template for DAM in furthering their email marketing efforts.
Think 360 Arts for Learning
Among other services, Propel reinstated Think 360 Art’s AdWords grant and rebuilt it from the ground up. Propel also performed a local SEO audit and BrightLocal campaign and applied the corresponding SEO updates on their existing website.
Sing Out and Read
When Propel met the founders of SOAR, the mission was still evolving and there was no web page associated with the foundation. We worked closely with the founders and established a custom website, followed by applying for and building a Google AdWords grant.
Notes for Education
The AZDS Propel Foundation created a beautiful new web experience for Notes for Education to tell the story of how and why Notes was founded, as well as how it will touch thousands of students in the decades to come, providing them a more well-rounded education, developing creative thought leadership, and fostering creativity through music education.
The AZDS Propel Foundation is also working with SnapShot Interactive to develop a short film, highlighting Notes for Education charity events and interviewing students and teachers who have been positively impacted.
mindSpark Learning
AZDS Propel partnered with mindSpark Learning, a nonprofit dedicated to elevating education with fully customizable and unique professional learning experiences for educators, by educators. Propel created several rounds of SEO strategy for mindSpark, both for their previous website as well as their brand new website.
Additionally, Propel provided ongoing website maintenance support and and ran a Google Analytics analysis on their account.
Most notably, Propel refreshed and updated mindSpark’s SEM efforts through Google AdWords by rebuilding their campaigns and ensuring that their Google AdWords grant would be maximized. Finally, Propel designed and delivered a mocked up blog page for mindSpark.
Daniel’s Music Foundation
Like many of our other clients, Propel rebuilt DMF’s website from the ground up. A specialty of our for-profit arm, we also created content for them for share-ability purposes as well as SEO benefits. We had our in-house writers interview the staff at DMF on a variety of different topics that we felt was most beneficial for their purposes. We then conducted corresponding outreach on their behalf. In addition to creating a state of the art blog page on their website and conducting routine website maintenance, Propel also ran a local SEO audit and applied on-page SEO recommendations.
youTHink
In 2019, YouThink was going through a reimagining and were interested in rebuilding a brand new website that portrayed their vision. Propel built out a brand new, custom website for the foundation, which is expected to be live in late 2020.
