The Partnership

Their Clients,
Our Studio.

Agency Brazil handle PR, strategy and the client relationship. When a client needed a website, a new brand or a set of campaign graphics, Brazil brought the job to us. We designed and built it, and Brazil presented it to their client. The clients ranged from a biotech firm and a London charity to a smart locker start-up and a new wine concept.

  • Design and build delivered under Brazil’s name
  • Briefs, feedback and sign-off went through Brazil
  • Websites, brands, print, social and email
  • Work for Brazil’s own marketing too

Lockars
Lockars

A Website
For Smart Lockers.

Lockars run a network of shared parcel and storage lockers, starting in London. In 2021 we built their website on WordPress, working from the brand Brazil supplied. A green gradient runs over a map of London in the header, and each audience gets its own section: retailers, couriers and city planners. The site is still live on the same build, though Lockars have since updated the words to match how the business has grown.

  • WordPress build, live since 2021
  • London map hero in the Lockars greens
  • Sections for retailers, couriers and city planners
  • Works on phones as well as desktops
Embassy of Wine

A Brand
That Pours.

The brief was a brand identity for a new concept: a venue that showcases a different wine region each month, for consumers and for the trade. Its motto was “Educate. Sell. Market.” Our first concept, “Agitate & Aerate”, took its pattern from wine swirling in a glass. We showed it with three typeface options, then refined it into a spaced-out wordmark in a black bar over a marbled pattern.

  • Concept presentation with three typeface routes
  • Marbled pattern inspired by aerating wine
  • Five-colour palette from pale blue-grey to black
  • Final logo files, business cards and a wine list
Embassy of Wine
Built To Rotate
Built To Rotate

One Pattern,
Every Region.

Because the featured region changes every month, the brand needed to change with it. We recoloured the marbled pattern for each country, with Croatia, the Netherlands and Italy as examples, and kept the wordmark the same. The core palette stays calm for print, and the country colours give each month its own look.

  • Country colourways for Croatia, Nederland and Italia
  • Wordmark stays fixed while the colours rotate
  • Business cards and a wine list mocked up for sign-off
British Home

A Challenge
On Ice.

British Home is a London charity. For their #BHIceCubeChallenge fundraiser we designed the social campaign: profile pictures, a Facebook cover, posts and a set of cards that explain the three steps. Throw an ice cube and try to land it in a glass, donate and tag the charity, then nominate six friends. A frosted ice texture ties every piece together, and we produced a second, brighter version after the first round.

  • Facebook and Instagram posts, cover and profile images
  • Step cards: Participate, Donate & Tag, Nominate, Why 6?
  • Two rounds of artwork: snow, then blue ice

Oxitec
Oxitec

Explaining
Friendly Mosquitoes.

Oxitec develop non-biting male mosquitoes that reduce the numbers of disease-carrying ones. Through Brazil we designed the Oxitec app, which has its own case study. We also made a lot of print and press material: an Annual Update for 2019–2020, a “How the Oxitec mosquito works” leaflet in several formats, postcards and US letter flyers, and newspaper adverts for the Florida Keys pilot project.

  • Annual Update 2019–2020, designed as spreads
  • “How it works” leaflet, step by step
  • Florida Keys newspaper adverts and webinar invites
  • Field app design: read the Oxitec case study
For Brazil

Brazil’s Own
Newsletter.

We also worked on Brazil’s own marketing. We designed their email newsletter, starting with the January 2022 issue in two colour versions, and carried on with further issues through 2022. Each one opens with a note from the managing director, then trend pieces from Brazil’s insight team, new client news and a staff feature.

  • Newsletter design from January 2022
  • Bright colour blocks from the Brazil brand
  • Sections for trends, new clients and team stories
For Brazil
Hiring

A Job Advert
That Moves.

When Brazil were hiring a PR Account Manager, we made a 45-second animated job advert in the agency’s blue, green and navy, set to music, for them to share on social media.

Whatever
Came Next.

Not every job was a full project. For Cognitant, a health information company, we drew “The New Patient Experience”, an illustration of remote appointments, health data on your phone and VR. For Book A Shop we built a PowerPoint presentation template. We were on hand for the small jobs as well as the big ones.

  • Cognitant: patient experience illustration
  • Book A Shop: presentation template
  • Quick turnarounds alongside longer projects

I have really enjoyed working with Dave at Northern Design and Digital Marketing. Dave was quick to understand me and my wish to move away from WordPress and heavy-duty software and systems. I can now manage my own website quickly and easily on HTML5. He has interpreted my wishes - and brand values - to a T. I love my new website and brand.
