The challenge

How to tell Vodafone Foundation’s story — better and with more impact.

For a long time, Vodafone Foundation and Vodafone Group inhabited the same digital space

The Foundation didn’t have its own logo and its web presence was limited to a few basic text-based web pages. Even though awareness of the Foundation and its work was very high internally, the grand messaging was weak externally.

Approach

Better reflect Vodafone Foundation’s purpose.

We wanted to create a brand identity that followed these guiding principles:

Human

Organic

Trusted

Global

Story-driven

Solution

A reimagined brand identity and webpages design using hand-drawn design, soft curved lines and organic shapes.

Newly Dedicated space in the corporate navigation

The new webpages can now act as a more standalone micro-site, providing a unique user experience.

Interactive and engaging content

Built around clear sign-posting, animation and storytelling.

Designed and built a new interactive globe

Bespoke web technology developed to  enable users to engage with real-time information and experience stories in a whole new way.

Mobile-first design

More than 80% of Vodafone Foundation visitors access the website via their mobile device, so making their experience the best it can be was paramount.

Insights

“Working with the Vodafone Foundation was an amazing experience.”

In designing their brand identity, we took an exciting journey into learning about new digital design techniques and cutting edge web technologies. Driving us was the desire to create a space where their work and messaging had a voice to reach as many people as possible.
