Like many rur­al elec­tric coop­er­a­tives around Amer­i­ca, Lynch­es Riv­er Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive in Page­land, South Car­oli­na, has spent the last few years clos­ing the dig­i­tal divide with the roll­out of high-speed broad­band inter­net to its mem­ber-own­ers in part­ner­ship with a telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions con­trac­tor and a broad­band provider.

After gaug­ing inter­est from mem­bers and ini­ti­at­ing the fiber network’s build-out, LREC’s biggest task became mar­ket­ing the ser­vice and build­ing aware­ness. That was tem­porar­i­ly accom­plished with a sim­ple mini-site pro­vid­ed by Crowd­Fiber, the cooperative’s broad­band part­ner.

When Lynch­es Riv­er quick­ly out­grew the con­fines of their pub­lic-fac­ing Crowd­Fiber onboard­ing por­tal with­in the first twelve months, they turned to us to cre­ate some­thing that bet­ter cap­tured their brand to show­case their inter­net ini­tia­tive in a more com­pelling way, pass along detailed infor­ma­tion to mem­bers (poten­tial cus­tomers), and raise the pro­file of this new­ly-chris­tened inter­net ser­vice, River­Net Con­nect.
