I think it would make more sense for these navigation menu items to be in title case, which it seems like the footer is already going for. In title case, the two examples you pulled would be “Submit Your Pitch” and “Get in Touch”. I just think it will be easier for us to keep all of the titles/headers/footers/buttons consistent this way, and title case tends to give more symmetry and visual prominence. One way to check if a phrase is in title case is by using https://capitalizemytitle.com/ . Please let me know what you think! Thanks!
