A gorgeous, multi-channel rebrand

For tiny charities, a rebrand can be an immensely valuable opportunity, and an intimidating prospect. Once you have the core elements of the design - your colours, fonts and logos - you begin the incremental task of updating, well, everything you do! 

​

As a freelancer for Home-Start Worldwide, I did just that. Reshaping and reimagining their channels and materials, and making the practical, technical changes too. 

​

Finding the messaging to match

Developing the right wording, in the right tone, to communicate the charity's work, and to form the foundation of all their materials; most crucially, their fundraising efforts.

​

A suite of useful, beautiful materials

Ready-to-use templates, designs and ideas so to create a seamless transition for the rest of the team.​

​

An intuitive website to reflect the real work

Careful updates to ensure that the world can understand the charity's value and feel its character through the screen.

​

A transformative intranet

A rich, accessible site that will unite the work of 20 charities across the world. 

​

Lively social media 

Laying the foundation for engagement growth, with a refreshed strategy and distinctive design.​​​

An innovative digital conference

Home-Start Worldwide is an organisation with member charities across 20 countries and five continents. Within them, sprawls a diverse and complex structure of staff, volunteers and partners -from tech-savvy University professors, to volunteers sharing a laptop and a shaky data connection. Developing a welcoming, accessible and enriching digital conference was an incredible opportunity to bring them together as one unified community.

 

A person-first agenda

Short sessions, scheduled to accommodate different timezones, allow people to do their day jobs, and avoid meeting-fatigue.​

​

A transformative digital hub

Their first ever single, secure space for international colleagues to access resources, interact and find support.

​

A fresh, pragmatic countdown

Invites and reminders that centred the interests of attendees not organisers. Keeping things simple, quick and honest. 

​

Clean and lively presentation decks

Avoided information overload and jargon to teak an engaging story and held attention and was accessible to readers with English as a second language.​​​
