Brand and design

Creating concepts for brand moments
Support from the start of the project to delivery of assets
We work in close collaboration with our colleagues and internal clients and external creative agencies on strategic university initiatives, like events, exhibitions, study guides, fairs, brochures, photography and film, presentations, or marketing campaigns. Creative concepting is an iterative and collaborative process. Strategic initiatives include university-wide concepts that build our brand.
Impactful creative concepts require clear objectives and defined target audiences as well as any interesting insights about the topic, the context or the target audience.
Projects begin with a briefing kickoff and the creation of a project plan.
