About USC Sip N Savor
USC Sip N Savor is an interactive survey and intervention program developed to raise awareness among students on campus about their drinking behaviors. Designed to meaningfully engage students, the program incorporates video content, interactive modules, and advanced analytics to help students better understand their drinking habits while enabling administrators to manage participants and assess the program's success effectively.
The Challenge
USC needed a platform that could engage students in understanding their drinking behaviors through an interactive experience. The solution required seamless video integration, animations, advanced analytics, and a user-friendly interface across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. Additionally, administrators needed tools to manage participant data, monitor engagement, and analyze program effectiveness.
Our Strategy
Our team approached this project systematically, breaking it down into distinct phases:
Phase 1
Discovery
We began by understanding the core requirements of the program—raising awareness about drinking behaviors among students—and discussed the ideal features needed to create an impactful experience.
Phase 2
Planning
During the planning phase, we designed a high-level framework for the survey and intervention program. We worked closely with USC to determine the optimal layout for different devices, ensure closed captioning for all video content, and develop an approach for capturing advanced analytics.
Phase 3
Design
Our UI/UX team created an engaging and intuitive interface, prioritizing a mobile-first approach that resonates with student users. The design included animations and visual effects to keep participants engaged throughout the program.
Phase 4
Development
Our development team built a robust solution, incorporating video capabilities, seamless animations, and optimized performance across multiple platforms. The backend was designed to support advanced analytics, providing administrators with detailed insights into user engagement and program effectiveness.
Phase 5
Testing & Security
We conducted extensive testing to ensure stability, security, and cross-platform compatibility. Our QA engineers worked diligently to identify and resolve issues, ensuring a seamless experience for both participants and administrators.
Phase 6
Launch & Maintenance
The program was successfully launched, and we continue to provide ongoing support, making improvements and updates based on student and administrator feedback.

The Solution
We built an interactive survey and intervention program that helps students become more aware of their drinking behaviors. The solution is mobile-first, optimized for ease of use, and features video content, animations, and an engaging layout to keep students involved. Administrators can track participation through advanced analytics that measure metrics such as login frequency, time spent in each module, and overall program completion rates.
The platform empowers students to reflect on their behaviors while equipping USC administrators with the tools they need to manage participants and assess the program's effectiveness. The solution includes closed captions for all videos, ensuring accessibility for everyone, and providing a visually appealing, seamless experience across all devices.
Results
The USC Sip N Savor program has successfully raised awareness about drinking behaviors among students through an engaging and interactive platform. Administrators now have the ability to effectively manage participation and evaluate the program's impact using comprehensive analytics. By focusing on a mobile-first approach and incorporating multimedia elements, we delivered a product that resonates with the target audience and makes a positive impact on student wellness.
