RECENT PROJECT: UKROC Brand Review

The UK Rocketry Challenge (UKROC) is a national competition for young people aged 11 to 18, challenging teams to design, build and launch model rockets with fragile payloads. Open to schools, colleges and youth groups across the UK, it brings engineering to life through hands-on learning, problem-solving and teamwork, inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in the aerospace, defence, security and space sectors.

The brand review brief asked us to deliver 'a more current look with modern visuals, vibrant tones and storytelling features to boost engagement', and the chosen idea's stylised graphics, extended colour palette and futuristic fonts help to inject energy and excitement into the brand.

Last night's Deal and Walmer Chamber of Trade networking at Kent Museum of the Moving Image in Deal. Lots of friendly local business owners meeting, chatting and collaborating. 😀

If you haven't visited the museum yet, it's a little gem packed with interesting film history and memorabilia. We're fans of all the old posters.👍

Another great DWCT event - made extra special by the solar eclipse. The photos don't really show how properly dark it got. ☀

RECENT PROJECT: Aerospace Growth Partnership 'Flightpath to Growth'

The Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP) is a strategic collaboration between the UK Government, the aerospace industry, and key stakeholders, established to secure the long-term success of the UK aerospace sector.

'Flightpath to Growth' builds on the AGP's Destination Net Zero strategy by setting out the progress made since the 'UK Industrial Strategy', and identifying the priorities to secure long-term growth, investment and global competitiveness.

Working closely with their team, we designed this 28-page Report and supporting materials to outline the sector's shared vision to accelerate innovation, develop future skills, expand advanced manufacturing capability and support the transition to net zero aviation.
