After a brand audit revealed that just one per cent of the public were aware of the charity’s existence, Pollen were commissioned to develop a new corporate brand identity system, develop core visual messaging, build the ‘tone-of-voice’ and ‘look-and-feel’. Pollen created detailed and thorough brand guidelines and continues to support the charity as it rolls the brand out across a national network of over 450 sites.
