Born Social

Strategy | Creative

Born Social creates award-winning social strategies and campaigns for some of the world's biggest brands. But Born Social’s brand framed it as a plucky challenger – it was time to establish their authority.

Master the mayhem

We developed an energetic, confident brand personality to capture Born Social’s mature ambition. At the heart of this was a core purpose – harness the chaos – distilling the agency’s talent for getting the best out of a hectic online world.

Looking the part

Born Social harnesses chaos. Its new identity does too. We designed a textural type treatment that takes control of different typeface styles, creating graphic elements from the clutter. And we created a warm, assured TOV that befits an industry leader.

Social-first design

As social media is Born Social’s natural habitat, we made sure to use recognisable social motifs throughout the brand and site UX. The result is an identity and website that Born Social's refreshed personality: open, energetic, and confident.
