Project Overview

Creating what matters.

Lead designer tasked with rebranding and repositioning the content agency, focusing on roll-out through digital media. This required creating a cohesive identity across the website, social media platforms and internal stationery through video, static and print collateral.

Co-designed with Matt Cotterill.

Identity

The new logo favours a bolder and more modern approach - consisting of three blocks, each representing a different brand facet: Creative, Code and Content.
