Overview

With a suite of charities under its wing, The Royal Foundation’s Marcomms team asked to find a way to help them manage a growing number of brand identities over multiple organisations.

The team was stretched and currently brand management was dispersed across the organisation, with smaller charities having little experience of brand management.

We saw an opportunity to revolutionise the way they worked with their brands, saving them time, streamlining workflow and centralising control – The Brand Toolkit.

The Brand Toolkit

A set of tools designed to centralise storage and control of all brand assets, guides and materials, giving Marcomms complete gatekeeping ability, at the same time as raising brand literacy across all charities.

The Toolkit consisted of two parts.

The Brand Tookit Book – We put together a universal guide, applicable across all brands to raise brand literacy and introduce robust guides, templates, best-practices and workflows that placed Marcomms at the heart of it all decision-making processes. 

A Digital Assets Manager – Introducing a new and centralised way of storing and monitoring all brand assets from a single centralised place, giving them complete control of who can access what. Using the DAM not gave complete control to the central Marcomms team, it streamlined approvals, and was a distribution hub for the Brand Toolkit Book itself.

Overview

Tiata Fahodzi is a theatre company championing stories that illuminate the mixed, multiple-experience of what it is to be of African heritage in Britain today.

Seeking a new direction, the company approached us to transform their website from a tool for selling tickets into a cultural hub that drives conversation. But after checking under the hood of their existing site, we saw an opportunity to not just redesign the front, but restructure their publishing workflow.

Our Solution

After reviewing Tiata’s brand guides, we discovered fresh materials to use that would easily breathe new life into the site, increase appeal to younger visitors as well as mark a new chapter in Tiata’s journey without stepping away from the brand.

Tiata’s site was not small, it had been running for many years and as such had a legacy of blog posts, archives of project and production pages, as well as databases of staff, cast and crew members over the years which all needed preserving or transferring.

But once we familiarising ourselves with the existing site, front and back, we were confident we could reinvent the functionality of the site from ground up to deliver a streamlined, self-explanatory management experience to make the team’s lives significantly easier and workload lighter.
