Startup 'Check' introduces sharing E-scooters

Full-service creativity reinvented for exceptional times. Four different specialty solutions. One team. One culture. One integrated view.

We use a lot of f-words, but fear isn’t one of them.

There is a difference between wanting to innovate, and needing to innovate. For companies wanting to innovate they typically are in control of their ambitions, decisions and timeline, however, companies needing to innovate are usually under external forces calling for a response and dictating a certain course of action at speed. In these latter situations, the uncertainty can lead to the urge for fast action, but simply being first to the market can do more harm than good.

All it takes is a ripple to start a revolution.

Propel’s branding is centred around the subtle feel of ripples and movement, mirroring the sensory experience of our customers on the water. The visual vocabulary reflects a sense of fluidity and progress, paired with a clean yet disruptive approach to product design. 

propel-shape.mp4

The Propel website brings the feeling of movement on the water to life. From the core elements to micro interactions, it takes the user on a journey through the brand and the product, dynamically explaining the game-changing technology of the motor.

The Propel motors have an integrated or remote screen which ensure peace of mind on the water. The display tells you everything you need to know, and helps you manage your battery consumption.

The tide is turning for the world of boating, and Propel is at the forefront of the movement. A revolutionary electric motor that’s silent on the water and uniquely circular in shape. Propel heightens your sensorial experience on the water, and sets the tone for a nature-friendly future. 

A fluid branding to set Propel in motion.

With so much of the experience happening on the digital platform it was key to develop a brand that doesn't just live in ads. A digital first identity was developed in parallel with a complete redesign of the digital touchpoints. We've put Catawiki experts front and centre, positioning them as the guardian of their specific categories. User insights and one-to-one user testing throughout the entire process and the close cooperation of the Catawiki and dentsuACHTUNG! teams resulted in a user-friendly and inspiring environment. 

We've introduced a flexible design system, working with color specific object categories, translated seamlessly from print to digital. The window is the most iconic part of our visual identity and invites you to step inside, discover and find the story and objects that reflects you. We also use a distinctive mix between sans serif and serif typography to reflect knowledge and passion, combined with openness and trustworthiness.

Catawiki - Design System Animation

The art direction of photography is true to Catawiki's mission and proposition. It conveys the openness, reliability, expertise and passion that drives the brand. 

Founded in 2008, Catawiki has grown into a worldwide marketplace for special objects. But it’s more than just a place of transaction; at Catawiki, knowledge & passion meet. The current brand and experience didn't reflect that. So Catawiki was looking to bring their brand, communications and experience to the next level. 

Rebranding the biggest online auction platform

Malaria is one of the world’s deadliest diseases and kills a child every two minutes. Africa carries the highest burden and it is alarming that COVID-19 may result in malaria deaths rising by 50% as access to healthcare, medicines and essential services is interrupted. Malaria No More needed a campaign idea that would inspire a generation to unite and take action to end malaria for good. 

The star-studded creative campaign invites youth from across Africa and the globe to join the movement to end the world’s oldest deadliest disease. The ground-breaking campaign taps into a cultural moment where new generations are claiming their futures back from this deadly disease, combining a digital platform, activation and powerful film. 

The campaign invites people to share the cinematic hero film, directed by acclaimed Nigerian music video director Meji Alabi, which showcases the captivating talent and energy emanating out of the African continent. The stars are joined by global artist Láolú Senbanjo, and a team of malaria community champions who feature in different scenes to tell the human story of malaria and the devastating impact it has on their education, employment, health and prospects. 

At the heart of the campaign idea is a fresh new universal visual language made up of lines, symbols and patterns, the ‘Muundo’, - created by acclaimed Nigerian artist, activist, and human rights lawyer, Láolú Sebanjo. 

The language, is a beautiful, eye-catching visual representation of the actions that are needed to end malaria once and for all within a generation, from cutting-edge technology and innovations to increased investment and bold political actions. 

Each line will create a unique piece of art that is added to a globally crowdsourced mural. The artwork will be presented to world leaders as a collective message of solidarity powered by the people at the Malaria and NTDs Summit on 24 June 2021, on the eve of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda. The Summit is a milestone moment in the malaria fight and enabler of game changing political decisions including delivering the commitment to halve malaria across the Commonwealth by 2023.

Born out of a grassroots campaign in Senegal, the Zero Malaria brand was created to act as a globally unifying brand across the malaria community. We redesigned the brand, centred around a recognisable, multi-lingual symbol. After launching the new brand with the Draw The Line Against Malaria campaign, Zero Malaria will continue their mission to end malaria within a generation.

This powerful multi-platform campaign asks young people from across the African continent and globally to ‘Draw The Line Against Malaria’ and call on leaders to end malaria in a generation.
