THE ASSIGNMENT

One of our clients, Intelligence Squared US, underwent a brand refresh. They truly flourished during the pandemic by refining their business strategy. Always offering debates that are civilized and respectful of different points of view, and always facts-focused, they leaned into a news/podcast model. What they needed was a complete brand refresh.

A SOLUTION

  • We refined the new logo to work in the digital space.

  • We developed brand style guidelines that included big idea image treatments that took on an editorial look and feel with an option to showcase both points of view.  

  • Through multiple workshops with the client we identified a website structure that engages the user, keeps them curious and coming back, and telegraphs a news organization.

  • We developed all the wireframes and skinned them with the new brand design.

  • A brand guideline was developed and distributed to all vendors including: corporate communications, PR, merch, newsletters, email blasts, and social media.

BEST PART:

We’ve been working with this company since 2016, and it was amazing not only to watch them transition into this new phase, but contribute to their evolution.
