How do you build a lasting brand when your content changes every week?

We shaped the YAY Films brand from day zero concepts into a trusted voice in educational cinema, creating a living identity centered around a little hero that evolves with every story, adapting easily from the screen to a physical card game.

Shift happens when you start giving an F.

When you look at Haláchy Nóra and Betti Szabó's credentials, you will see the usual case studies and growth metrics, but let’s be real: anyone can type a 200% growth stat on a slide.

So, why are we relevant for your project?

Here is the raw truth:
⚡️ We actually give an F. It is not a tagline; it is our baseline.
⚡️ We have 20+ years of combined experience. We know the business-as-usual game inside out, but we believe marketing shouldn't be about artificially generating demand. We refuse to manufacture fake pain points just to push a product as the solution.
⚡️ We aim for value alignment, not just a new project. We are not here to collect logos. We are looking for people who care about the same things we do.
⚡️We have developed a framework to best match the real pains to real solutions, which is increasingly more and more difficult in this noisy space. We are navigating this messy, imperfect space right alongside you, moving honestly and with determination. That commitment, more than any corporate background, is why we have the credibility to do this.

Nature is the better designer.

Greenfill (Amcopack SRL) looked at how corn reacts to heat, expands, becomes light, and stays resilient. We helped them brand a packaging filler that behaves exactly like polystyrene but disappears in water. It is protective and functional, then it decomposes when the job is done.

BOLD design means eliminating the unnecessary. For Greenfill, this meant creating a simple visual system and brand elements that feel as grounded as the product itself. These tools help them communicate the value of a solution that looks and behaves exactly like the wasteful alternative, without the heavy footprint.

We believe the most radical thing a brand can do today is stop over-complicating and start observing.

SHIFT HAPPENS ...
.. when the right audience finally gets it. Sustainable products struggle to gain traction - not because they lack value, but because they’re not positioned for a market that’s ready to act. Sustainability has a communication problem, and we want to help products that matter find the people who care. - Betti
.. when data meets psychology. You don't need a bigger budget; you need to stop burning money on marketing that doesn't click. Shift happens when we stop talking to everyone and start running the right experiments to find the people who are ready to say 'yes' right now. - Nóra

The Shift Happens 3-month pro bono go-to-market program is officially OPEN. 🚀

Visual culture is not just aesthetics; it is a form of critical thinking.

For three years, we have been collaborating with tranzit.ro, a network of civic associations dedicated to supporting positive social change. It is rewarding to use design to translate raw, theoretical issues into a visual language that speaks to professionals, students, and the curious public alike.

When the goal of design is not to follow a trend, but to provoke thought. When graphics do not hand over the answer, but instead invite the viewer to look closer.

Building a visual language for the big feelings of little humans.

Together with YAY Films, we designed a deck of emotion cards, creating a system from concept to design to final product. More about the project soon.

And, how are you feeling today?
