Passion Projects ’25 Open

We believe that the power of branding should be accessible to every organisation. The branding industry as a whole has a lot of work to do to overcome perceptions of high costs, difficulties in demonstrating ROI and criticism of the depth of work produced by many branding companies, which is too often superficial.

Passion Projects are, in a small way, our way of democratising branding. Every year we off-set a portion of our profits to help match-fund branding projects for SMEs and non profits. Our aim is always the same, to enhance brand performance though the creation of new brands and impactful campaigns that deliver measurable results.
