What we did
StrategySocialDirection

Younity is a Dutch platform for personal development, with courses and programmes for people who want to grow from the inside out. Its Instagram came alive with every launch and went quiet in between. We work alongside the team on the point of view behind the brand, the monthly content calendar, the captions and the look of the feed.

The thinking

The problem was never a lack of content. Every launch brought a new tone and a new promise, and the community had to get to know the brand again each time. So we built something that holds between launches: four content pillars rooted in the questions the community actually asks, a voice that speaks to one person at a time, and a monthly test where one thing changes and the results shape the next month. Launches now land on a feed that already feels familiar.

Where it leads

Younity NL becomes the daily anchor people return to for the human experience of healing, no matter which course is running that month.

The Future of Fashion PR

All work
Blurring lines
The Future of Fashion Public Relations, cover
What we did
ConceptEditorial designCopy

A magazine about what happens to fashion PR once the internet takes the microphone away from the press release. We wrote it and designed every page, from the cover to the closing spread. It walks PR professionals through five characteristics of postmodern PR, then puts them to the test on campaigns by Diesel and Adidas.

The internet
Postmodern
Transparency
Content is king
Current content
The design

Every chapter gets its own visual language, so the layout makes the argument before you read a word. Transparency breaks apart letter by letter. Current content repeats until it starts to blur. A classical statue blows bubblegum on the opening of the postmodern chapter. The type carries as much weight as the images, so the magazine feels the way the internet feels to the industry it is written for: loud and layered.
