  • Sussex Community Foundation, a cherished local organisation, sought to implement a unified and distinctive brand identity. The goal was to develop a new brand foundation, key messages, and a visual identity that resonated with its diverse stakeholders and passionate team. The challenge was to create a cohesive brand that could adapt to the evolving needs of the foundation and effectively communicate its mission to various audiences.

  • Immersion and Insight Gathering:

    • We began with an extensive immersion stage, engaging deeply with Sussex Community Foundation to understand the organisation from the perspectives of its varied stakeholders and dedicated team. This comprehensive understanding was crucial for creating an authentic and effective brand.

    Developing the Brand Foundation:

    • Using the insights gathered, we developed a solid brand foundation that captured the essence of the foundation’s mission and vision. This included defining key messages that articulated the foundation’s purpose and impact.

    Creating a Visual Identity:

    • We designed a versatile visual identity that could adapt to the foundation’s diverse needs. This visual identity was crafted to be dynamic, ensuring it could evolve with the foundation and remain relevant in a digital-first world.

    Strategy and Implementation:

    • We provided extensive guidance on brand strategy, ensuring the foundation could communicate powerfully with its communities, donors, and volunteers. This included the development of print and marketing materials, social media strategies, and impact reporting tools.

The Outcome

The new brand identity we created for Sussex Community Foundation was unified and ownable, embodying the foundation’s vision and mission.

The versatile design enabled the foundation to adapt to different and changing needs, maintaining relevance across various platforms and audiences. With a clear brand strategy and compelling visual identity, the foundation was equipped to communicate more effectively with its stakeholders, strengthening connections with communities, donors, and volunteers.

Moving into a more digital space, the foundation now had the tools and guidance to enhance its online presence. This digital transformation allowed for greater outreach and engagement, ensuring the foundation could continue to grow and positively impact lives.

Helping Sussex Community Foundation implement this cohesive and adaptable brand identity involved deep immersion and understanding of the organisation. The result is a foundation that is better positioned to communicate its mission, engage with stakeholders, and adapt to future challenges, ensuring its continued impact on the community.
