How we'll exceed your expectations

Support starts with an exceptional customer experience. Designing and delivering one is the core of this work — and it's exactly what August will deliver in partnership with you.

The opportunity

That one verb — support — changes everything.

Jewish Care Victoria provides a wide range of vital programs and services that support individuals and families at every stage of life. That verb — support — is critical to the success of this work, and a definitive factor in how we must approach the opportunity.

Brand design, CMS, platform selection, integrations, content strategy, search engine optimisation — these are important mechanisms for facilitating the experience. But none is the single critical factor in how customers understand, trust, and choose Jewish Care Victoria.

Customer experience is about how you feel.

So the questions that matter are human ones:

  • Does Jewish Care Victoria feel like a trusted friend — a supportive advocate who's genuinely invested in each person's care?
  • Is it easy to find and engage the right service, at the right time?
  • Does it feel personal, tailored to each individual, and seamless from start to finish?
  • Do people feel they have an expert guide walking the path alongside them — navigating complexity, advocating for their best interests?

This is the experience your customers deserve. It's also the experience August will deliver in partnering with Jewish Care Victoria to do this work.

Three pathways

Three pathways to exceptional outcomes.

Each pathway draws on the same proven process, experience, and craft — and carries a different scope and risk profile. We'd relish the chance to walk you through them.

Project methodology

A proven path from discovery to launch.

Our methodology is built to deliver absolute clarity, minimise risk, and set strong foundations for success. Every engagement is shaped around seven connected disciplines.

  1. 01Project methodology
  2. 02Discovery approach
  3. 03UX & accessibility process
  4. 04Content migration methodology
  5. 05Technical approach
  6. 06Governance & communication
  7. 07Risk management approach
Discovery approach

Building the brief, together.

We deploy variable discovery tools — including our Red Team matrix — and scale the activities to suit the project. Whatever the shape, a key part of every discovery is structured stakeholder engagement:

A

Context Sheet Workshop

We build the brief together — surfacing goals, constraints, audiences, and the truths that will shape the work.

B

Roadmap Walkthrough

We translate that shared understanding into a clear, sequenced plan everyone can see and trust.

We pride ourselves on transparency, collaboration, and making sophisticated things feel simple, engaging, and inspiring.

About August

Twenty years of sophisticated work for trusted brands.

August is an award-winning marketing and creative technology consultancy. We've spent the past 20 years delivering sophisticated work with some of Australia's most trusted and celebrated organisations — across healthcare, social services, technology, aged care, government, non-profit, manufacturing, and the arts.

We're a member of the Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) — an invite-only network for the world's best marketing leaders, creative visionaries, and technology innovators — and a proud B-Corp, certified to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

You won't find much about us out in the wild. That's intentional. We think differently about marketing: our greatest success comes from partnering with organisations to elevate every aspect of their marketing function — from planning, tooling, and process to strategy and culture — and creating tangible, long-term value.

We're also relentlessly focused on compounding value with our existing partners. We don't market to everyone, because we don't work with just anyone. It's part of why our average client relationship runs beyond six years. When we click with an organisation, we really click.
