    paper WHAT MOVES YOU

    Realizing purpose with the power to transform requires a different approach. From BCG’s work with many leaders and organizations over the years, they developed and honed a methodology for discovering, articulating, activating, and embedding true purpose.

    This film was a visual representation of a white paper that was published in May 2017.

    We created a dynamic, mutli medium film that brought this concept to life - https://www.twine.net/signin

    paper GAME CHANGER

    Game Changer, a book by Jean-Manuel Izaret and Arnab Sinha reveals how pricing shapes businesses, markets and society. It also shows you how to set pricing strategies when market-shaping events occur. How do you bring an innovation to market? How do you make a transition to an “as a service” pricing model? And what are the social consequences of strategic pricing?

    We created a teaser along with a series of four ‘hooks’ to illustrate several elements as described in the book.
    Collage and a bold, playful color palette played a key visual element to personify the content -

    paper A CHANGE OF BRAND

    ACOB is a podcast that highlights the behind the scenes stories of rebrand glory, drama, or disaster.

    We created a new series of animated ACOB covers, following an established motion style guide with custom stories for each brands journey - https://www.twine.net/signin

    paper BCG'S BLISS INDEX

    Based on survey responses from 27,800 employees across 16 countries, BCG identified inclusion as a critical factor in workplace happiness.

    When workers feel included, the index shows, their happiness and overall well-being improve and retention rates increase.

    We created a distinct, simplified and personified motion brand to represent this - https://www.twine.net/signin

    paper TARGET'S AR FILTERS

    From creating photo-op moments at Target’s iconic storefronts to getting bangs, our team created a range of filters for every guest on Instagram & Snapchat - https://www.twine.net/signin
