Sussex Community Foundation, a cherished local organisation, sought to implement a unified and distinctive brand identity. The goal was to develop a new brand foundation, key messages, and a visual identity that resonated with its diverse stakeholders and passionate team. The challenge was to create a cohesive brand that could adapt to the evolving needs of the foundation and effectively communicate its mission to various audiences.

We began with an extensive immersion stage, working closely with Sussex Community Foundation to understand the organisation from the perspectives of its stakeholders and dedicated team. This comprehensive understanding was key to developing an authentic and effective brand. With these insights, we built a strong brand foundation that captured the essence of the foundation’s mission and vision, defining key messages that communicated its purpose and impact. We then crafted a versatile visual identity designed to adapt to the foundation’s diverse needs, ensuring it could evolve in a digital-first world. Finally, we provided strategic guidance to help the foundation communicate effectively with its communities, donors, and volunteers, including the development of print materials, social media strategies, and impact reporting tools.
