Capturing the essence of a young team experiencing meteoric growth in the app sector
Just a few years ago a couple students created a startup in the app development and design sector. In a short time they went from their own single app to creating over a hundred on the app store for their clients. Demand saw them scale from two to twenty in the blink of an eye. They needed a reset, and strategic clarity. And before moving to new CBD offices, they needed to position their culture and narrative for future success.
Their existing brand name wasn't aligned with their strategic narrative and was not registerable as a trade mark. In our various interviews and group discovery session, we uncovered lore, dating back to an early client. She had thanked the team for transforming her idea and for taking her app "to the moon". That phrase had been adopted internally as a measure of commitment for every project. Moonward™ was born.
Structures and systems will set you free
Creating effective visual narrative systems builds brand recognition while simplifying future design and creative projects. Moonward's atmospheric visual system offers a wide variety of creative options while maintaining brand consistency.
Making value visible
Working with the team we created ways to codify and describe their processes which were on brand. This delivered both verbal and behavioural brand narrative. A.S.C.E.N.T. and O.R.B.I.T. were created to describe their processes and make visible the value of these brand behaviours.
The vibe of the thing
We created stories about teamwork that linked to our space vibe. Neil, Buzz, Mike is the story of the apollo moon landing, we all know Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but few of us know the third astronaut - Michael Collins. Without Mike, Buzz and Neil would have never got home, and he never set foot on the moon. Moonward's team culture had many hidden performers and it is a great compliment to be "like Mike".
