CONTEXT

What is CallHub?


CallHub is a telephony company serving progressive political and advocacy campaigns across America.

“I just got back [from Netroots 2023], and I am surprised that our users care more about who we are [our values] than what we do.”

Akansha, (former) Head of Product, CallHub

FIRST YEAR

Welcome Onboard! Now get to work…


When I joined CallHub in 2022, I stepped in as their first marketing designer. Until then, the brand’s visual presence was largely shaped by freelancers, while the in-house designers focused on product. The result was predictable: inconsistent touch-points and a brand that often felt fragmented.


Before attempting a full-scale rebrand, I started with a hygiene check. We audited the marketing site, identifying low-hanging fruit that we could quickly fix. At the same time, I rolled up my sleeves and produced a large volume of assets to cover immediate needs. This dual track allowed me to stabilize the brand’s outward appearance while figuring out how to unify its design language for the long term.

HYGIENE CHECKS OF LANDING PAGES

If CallHub was a person…


it would live somewhere between a wise-old Sage 🧙‍♂️ and a Jester 🃏.


Working closely with our Brand lead, we translated that dual persona into the foundations of our identity.


The Sage showed up in a clear, reliable typeface (Open Sans) - carrying the weight of trust, detail, and fine print.


The Jester came through in bold, expressive headings - injecting energy and wit without losing clarity. Together, the balance gave us a brand voice that was both credible (sage) and approachable (jester, but not too much).

Next on the chopping block was our visual language. Given the inherent complexity of our product, our challenge was not just to ‘make it look better,’ but to have it reduce cognitive load. By introducing a lighter, pastel-driven illustration style, and elements that harken back to campaigning (think placards, takeaway cofee, and laptop stickers), we reframed the product from intimidating to approachable.

SECOND YEAR

Building the Case for a Site Revamp


CallHub’s website was pulling in 2–3 million visits a year—our largest touch-point by far. But the site hadn’t kept pace with our brand’s growth. Content was spread across 50+ pages, design was inconsistent, and the overall experience felt fragmented.


I knew the website could do with a full revamp—but with a lean marketing team of just seven people, asking for a site-wide overhaul was a tough sell. The leadership’s concern was clear: it would demand significant time and resources without guaranteed ROI.


So I approached it strategically. I prioritized 10 pages based on traffic. Pages where traffic was not too high, but not so low either that getting a decent sample size would take too long. By selectively redesigning those first, I could both focus our limited resources and create a test case for impact. We also used Matamo to A/B Test different designs of sections to optimize for scroll depth and conversions. We were able to demonstrate measurable improvements in engagement—much needed evidence that helped shift internal buy-in. Only then did we get the green light to push for a broader, site-wide revamp.

CallHub in the Wild


At US events, I had the chance to take CallHub out of its day-to-day environment and onto a bigger stage. Unlike the web, where clarity and consistency rule, event design gave me permission to go a little louder—playing with 3D, color explosions, and playful treatments that broke from the grid and drew eyes in crowded spaces.

THIRD YEAR

CallHub Media


Around 2024, we noticed our blog traffic was not as high as it used to be. This was no doubt because AI was changing the game in terms of how businesses drove traffic to their site. This was also the time we started exploring other channels, specifically video content.


I took charge of the YouTube channel during this point, and within a year we were able to grow it from 260 -> 950 subscribers. We did this through a mixutre of video essays, product videos and webinars.


This also allowed me to evolve the visual language further, allowing for more leeway in the videos while still being true to CallHub.
