25 years in, the @americanacademy.bsky.social used its anniversary to look ahead. We helped refresh its identity and website, bringing together its history, Berlin setting and role as a home for ideas and debate. www.designbysoapbox.com/a-new-chapte... #BrandStrategy

🎉 New work for Instiglio! Its new brand reflects an ambition that goes beyond technical assistance: changing how the development sector thinks about effectiveness and making public money count. We helped shape the strategy, story and identity behind it. #BrandStrategy

A few weeks ago, Soapfest gave the team three days to think together about where the sector is heading. Best bit: seeing people from different parts of the studio take the same problem in completely different directions. We came away with plenty to try and a few questions to keep thinking about!
