The Challenge

Universities worldwide are seeking innovative ways to engage alumni while generating sustainable funding for student initiatives. Tilburg University identified a unique opportunity: transform their new lecture hall into a platform for meaningful alumni engagement through seat sponsorship.

The challenge involved creating more than just a donation system. The university needed:

  • Interactive seat selection that felt personal and engaging

  • Seamless payment processing for international donors

  • Personal messaging system for lasting alumni connections

  • Simple management tools for university staff

  • Scalable platform for hundreds of potential sponsors

Our Approach

We partnered with Tilburg University and design expert Michelle Peters to create an interactive sponsorship platform that transforms seat selection into an engaging digital experience.

Interactive Design Strategy

Our team developed a visual mapping system where users can browse the lecture hall layout and select specific seats. This approach transforms a simple donation into a personal, memorable experience where sponsors can visualize their contribution's impact.

Streamlined User Experience

We designed an intuitive step-by-step process:

  • Interactive seat browsing and selection

  • Personal quote customization

  • Secure payment processing

  • Instant confirmation and receipt

The Results

Since launch, the platform has successfully connected Tilburg University's alumni community while generating sustainable funding for student projects.
