Frontier is a historical action-drama series following the chaotic and violent struggle to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade in the late 18th century. The series follows Declan Harp (Jason Momoa), a part-Irish, part-Cree outlaw campaigning to take down his rival, the ruthless Lord Benton (Alun Armstrong), who runs the Hudson’s Bay Company’s monopoly with an iron fist.
 
Denman was tasked with creating a rich, immersive, interactive experience that could both promote the series in advance of its premiere on Discovery Canada and on Netflix in the United States, and serve as a digital extension for fans of the show wanting to dive deeper into the motivations of the characters.
 
Dark Providence brings audiences into the world of Frontier. It is a dynamic responsive website that presents six meticulously crafted films in which the character’s convey their ambitions, fears, motivations, and mistrusts. 

Like any good trailer, the stories are cryptic, revealing just enough to leave you wanting more. But unlike a traditional trailer, this experience is fully interactive. Visitors not only get to choose the order of the films they explore, but within each they get to direct the visual experience using their keyboard.
 
A dark, moody soundtrack accompanies beautifully designed story gateway screens, each replete with playful gyroscopic (mobile) and mouse-based parallax effects to give a sense of richness and depth.

HOW DAVID FOUGHT GOLIATH: DISRUPTING THE DIABETES MARKETChallenge: For people with diabetes, the OmniPod Insulin Management System is a life-changing product—if only they knew. At the time of its initial launch, Insulet Corporation was small and unknown, with a new product and disruptive technology: the OmniPod. The target market was resistant to change. The competition was established, with robust marketing and advertising budgets and comprehensive support for HCP offices. Furthermore, one competitor owned the lion’s share of the market. How does a start-up break through the clutter and successfully compete with industry giants?











Solution: We created a highly provocative launch campaign that captured the attention and interest of HCPs and patient audiences. Bold, unexpected visuals paired with targeted messaging sparked curiosity and inspired action to learn more about the OmniPod—the world’s first tubeless insulin pump. Within one year of launch, sales increased dramatically, and brand awareness among our target audience rose 475%. In addition, we continued to nurture existing OmniPod customers with ongoing patient education and engagement materials to help support the OmniPod patient experience and foster brand loyalty.ClientInsulet Corporation

Good news travels fast. When the Chairman found out we were doing a new site for the state board of professional engineers and land surveyors, he contacted us to do a new site for his structural engineering firm. We were more than happy to oblige! They didn't need much, but what they had was not representing the company or the projects they were working on. We put together a WordPress site that would allow them to update the site moving forward and we integrated Instagram to show progress on current projects.

The Challenge 
The Victorian Government, Creative Victoria, Live Music Victoria and Arts Centre Melbourne wanted to create a place that would house and celebrateAustralian contemporary music – past, present and future.
The ThinkingAustralian Music Vault was born with a positioning of ‘Open Up Australian Music’ to help turn up the volume on Australia’s love affair with its home-grown music. The brand mark and visual language were inspired from the sound wave form and typography from vintage amp and synth dials. The Australian Music Vault is a place for everyone to explore their love of music, to revisit some of the big music moments of their lives and discover exciting new stories of today’s Australian music scene.The Results
Australia now has a permanent home at Arts Centre Melbourne and online, to house the unique stories, archival footage and interactive experiences of our home-grown music across all types of musical genres. It’s had widespread acceptance across the many stakeholders in this venture from the artists, to the state government and peak music bodies and best of all by music loving Australians, with over 200,000 visitors in the first 4 months post launch.

The Client
TGI Friday’s is a restaurant chain with locations in multiple cities across the United States. They serve an assortment of American food and drinks from burger to steak and beers to cocktails.
The Problem
TGI Friday's wanted something that would resonate with their Bar Heritage. They were searching for something that would not only increase brand awareness through humorous content but also be culturally-relevant and interactive. They introduced the idea of a Elf on the Shelf like campaign, officially named “The Shaker on the Bar”. The concept was there but it lacked micro content ideas and production.
The Solution
We wanted to take an existing idea to a new level with fresh insight, perspective, and original content. Our team created multiple stop-motion videos that incorporated a “Holiday Relief” theme including being single, creating new traditions, interacting with family, and meeting up with friends around the holiday season. These videos were posted to Twitter and Instagram stories.

CHALLENGE
BD created the Vacutainer® Eclipse™, Signal™ and UltraTouch™ blood collection systems – beautifully considered devices that were designed to please end users and payers alike. The problem? Even though extensive customer profiling work had been carried out, each sales person and market sold the products in their own way – losing many of their key benefits.
OUR SOLUTION?
A bespoke Digital Sales Aid (DSA) that integrated with Big Tin Can. By creating one centralised DSA we ensured that all sales reps, no matter what country, sold the products in a consistent fashion – with the key product selling points as the focus. The DSA also enabled the content to be segmented by customer profile and could be updated instantly via an intuitive CMS – saving BD thousands in print costs.

Re-brand & marketing has big impact on Ontario attractions & tourism

At a relatively small capital outlay by Attractions Ontario, RadonicRodgers Strategy+ and Attractions Ontario achieved a dramatic economic impact for Ontario Tourism employing the association’s re-branded Visual Identity and re-branded Passport magazine. The freshly re-formatted print and online magazine was accessible to the majority of Ontarians and visitors to Ontario while 46,719 coupons were redeemed at Ontario attractions (20% via mobile device). This number was used to determine the total economic impact of the Passport coupons.
Campaign highlights:• 46,719 Passport coupons were redeemed at Ontario attractions• $31 million quantifiable economic impact• $125 million qualitative economic impact• 43% year-over-year increase in display ad sales• 23% increase in consumer database
Secondary objectives included growing the Attractions Ontario consumer database (increased by 23%) as well as growing display ad sales in the Passport magazine which increased to a record level for the publication (43% year-over-year increase in display ad sales), due in part to the enhanced appeal of the RadonicRodgers re-brand of Attractions Ontario Visual Identity, and the re-brand of the Passport magazine to an informative consumer magazine.

IONDESIGN designs the packaging for the olive oil "il circolo" from the south of Italy. The label picks up the annual rings of the Sicilian olive trees, which also appear in the name of the oil. Both the packaging of the 500ml bottle and the 3L canister emphasize the exquisite quality of the natural product. By reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of the oil, the region around the Italian Noto is strengthened. The aim of the producers is the sustainable and social production of excellent, organic olive oil - these characteristics are recognizable in the packaging. The dark green glass of the bottle provides an elegant background for the deep black label with gold stamping. The eponymous annual rings of the olive tree are executed in partial varnish give the label a silky sheen.

The Brief
Create a market leading interactive benchmark which allows the world’s largest investment companies, with FAIRR having $7.8 trillion supporter AUM, to make informed decisions around environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues surrounding protein production.
Our Approach
The key prospect for the Index was to ensure it was digestible, engaging, and flexible. Through filtering functionality, users are able to surface relevant data with the ability to download their key findings. Users can also take an in-depth look into each company profile and view more specific KPI data. Companies are scored against 9 risk factors, these all having 2 unique icons for different applications; corporate and playful.
The Outcome
The initial expectation for the index was to be annually updated, but due to the successful launch, the site will be updated every quarter; expanding the company data set. In the first week of launch, the index generated over 100 media articles from sites such as The Financial Times, BBC news, The Guardian, and has helped FAIRR increase their site visits by 641% vs last year.

When a brand that's been around for more than 100 years needs a refresh, there’s inherently a challenge involved: balance the equity in the current brand with the need to modernise to stay relevant in today and tomorrow’s markets. That’s exactly the situation Strategy Creative was asked to tackle for Naylor Love — one of New Zealand’s largest construction companies which traces its roots back to 1910 in Dunedin.
Strategy’s approach is always to begin by articulating a brand’s strategic positioning based on its core strengths. The positioning always serves as the foundation for the creative work that follows. For Naylor Love, the core themes were around dependability, trust, and forward-thinking, so the visual identity needed to reflect that. The approach to the logo was an evolution, not a revolution. The original version had presence in the marketplace but looked busy and dated, so we simplified it, sharpened it up, and made it bolder but kept the core essence of the original mark. From there, we modernised the rest of the branding with a brighter and fresher teal primary colour, and a more minimalist design aesthetic to the vehicle fleet, business cards, letterheads, documents, advertising, and other collateral.
The resulting identity has perfectly achieved what it set out to do in presenting Naylor Love as a company which is forward-thinking and can be trusted thanks to its track record.

Challenge. Disrupt an oatmeal aisle that has been dominated by Quaker Oatmeal for over 100 years
Solution. Umpqua Oats has the product to compete against the mushy instant oatmeal competition. With whole rolled oats, real ingredients and none of those added fillers Quaker uses to save costs, Umpqua Oats is exactly what Millennials are looking for. Hitting the oatmeal aisle with bright white and a bold use of black and bright colors instantly attracts attention in a sea of beige. An image with appetite appeal is easy to execute because their product is REAL.Nothing shows the Umpqua difference more than image and video so we art directed a series of videos to be used online and in social media. Connecting consumers to the history of Umpqua Oats and co-founders, Sheri and Mandy, shows consumers that Umpqua is not just a real product, but also made by real people.Check out Umpqua Oats' brand videos:https://vimeo.com/215722432https://vimeo.com/215723532
