Forward-Looking Showit Website for an Entertainment Business Coach


Bringing Hollywood’s Golden Era to the Digital Age


Neil Mandt, a seasoned Hollywood producer with over three decades of expertise in the entertainment sector, approached us in the summer of 2023. His aim was to rejuvenate his existing website and cultivate a fresh brand identity in anticipation of his forthcoming course launch. The project was a thrilling journey, resulting in a contemporary brand infused with the elegant allure of Hollywood. Our services encompassed copywriting, the creation of a new Showit website, the design of social media graphics and ads, and the styling of the Teachable and Flodesk platform, among other tasks.

The website we designed for Neil Mandt skillfully combines mid-century modern aesthetics with a contemporary edge, presenting a visual harmony that is simultaneously nostalgic and avant-garde. Drawing inspiration from the 1950s, the design captures the suave of Frank Sinatra and the boldness of The Fonz, all while nodding respectfully to Ron Howard's authentic filmmaking style.

Characterized by clean lines, an orderly layout, and a thoughtfully chosen color palette that reflects mid-century design principles, the website exudes the iconic charm of the '50s. The deep blues and teals pay tribute to the timeless allure of that era, while maintaining a fresh and modern vibe.

The use of vibrant greens for the call-to-action buttons introduces a futuristic feel, contrasting beautifully with the black-and-white imagery to evoke '50s nostalgia. This careful balance positions Neil Mandt as a figure of modernity, all while cherishing the deep-rooted values and charisma of legendary figures like Sinatra and The Fonz.

The design intentionally speaks to young media professionals aged between 20 and 40. In an era of rapid technological progression, this demographic is in search of guidance to navigate the ever-changing landscape. The content and visuals of the website, which highlight advancements in AI, VR, and other tech domains, underline Neil Mandt's proficiency in these areas. Phrases such as "Breaking into Hollywood is incredibly difficult" resonate with the challenges young professionals face, fostering a deep emotional connection.

Neil Mandt’s extensive Hollywood and international experience is showcased prominently through accolades and testimonials. The focus on cutting-edge technologies like AI and VR, and their revolutionary impact on the entertainment industry, is a highlight, reinforcing his brand as a harmonious blend of Hollywood tradition and innovative foresight.

In summary, Neil Mandt's website design masterfully captures the essence of a bygone era while confidently striding into the future. It establishes him as a pivotal bridge from the classic charm of the 1950s to today’s technological breakthroughs, making it a compelling choice for young media professionals aspiring to navigate the vibrant entertainment industry.
