We defined a new strategic foundation for the brand, with a new mission, ’power the stories that power us’. To help deliver this, we created an identity that puts a characterful story lover at the heart of the brand.

Based on the new logo, Alex is an endlessly curious character, who travels the world to bring stimulating stories back to listeners, making previously untold content accessible to all.

The re-brand allows Alexander to take a point of view and put brand first, content second. They now have the tools to embrace modern storytelling that appeals to everyone, whilst staying true to their roots of high-brow, quality journalism.

Our Approach

We approach both personal and commercial projects with ambition, rigour and an acceptance that we don’t know what the end result will be. With each unique collaboration comes a unique solution that is only unearthed by bringing the right people, technologies and processes together.

This results in an output that excites us – a portfolio where each project is different from the last and a library of creative solutions that are intrinsically tied to the team and problem we all attempted to solve.
