Who's in the house

Be seated
We created a communications campaign, Take your seat, for Wexford Festival Foundation, who are charged with raising a community contribution of €7m towards the building of Wexford Opera House.
The campaign allows patrons to dedicate a seat at the new Opera House, with a plaque discreetly displayed on the seat of their choice. It follows our communications campaign to local businesses seeking pledges to support and sponsor the house.
New name and brand: Healthcare clinic

Design for growth
We devised a new name and designed a new brand identity for this growing healthcare clinic, OAK, Osteopathy Associates Killaloe.

In changing the name, the initials OAK create a healthy visual metaphor for strength, stability and growth – essential elements in marketing this healthcare service.

Bringing warmth and humanity to the brand
Given the size of operations and the state‑of‑the‑art facilities available, it was important not to lose the friendly, warm atmosphere of the organisation. We designed a brand mark which captures the spirit and warmth of the business. The characters were extended into a 'family' of illustrated kids used for various promotional materials and signs (see below).
