IE created a new education brand and website for the AgriFood industry. As a collaboration between six UK universities – Reading, Nottingham, Aberystwyth, Harper Adams, Cranfield and Bangor – the AFTP is the bridge between industry and academia. Their postgraduate-level courses translate cutting edge academic research into applied industry expertise, helping the industry’s best talent to deepen their knowledge, advance their skills, and progress their careers.

The AFTP brand is defined by its close relationship to industry, so the new visual identity is firmly rooted in the world of AgriFood, not the classroom, to celebrate the best the industry has to offer.

Eikon is a charity helping young people in Surrey to feel safe, heard and supported. They wanted their brand to better resonate with children and young people, and they also needed it to work harder to support fundraising.

A rename and rebrand for a leading training provider for science and technology apprenticeships.

Over the past decade Youthforce had grown significantly. They had changed, and so had the world. Apprentices can be any age, and the name was causing confusion, so IE Brand renamed them Tiro – a Latin word meaning novice, recruit, apprentice, beginner and soldier.

The brand's new brand messaging, visual identity and re-skinned website reflect the challenging, authentic and excitable business Tiro is now.

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) is a charity that joins with communities from both sides of a conflict – from Brixton to Ghana – to help build sustainable futures free from violence and division.

University of Bristol is one of the most popular and successful universities in the UK and was ranked within the top 50 universities in the world in the QS World University rankings 2016.

Ahead of a larger university-wide brand review, Bristol engaged IE Brand to carry out a piece of brand architecture work to look at how various areas of the university and its sub-brands fit together. We went on to deliver research and consultancy for three of its internal university services: Careers, Sport and Catering.

For each one we developed new brand messaging and visual identities, to be applied to everything from food packaging and sports kits to social media and building signage. We also devised launch campaigns for the catering brand, Source, and the relaunched Careers service.

When the British School of Osteopathy was granted University College status, they became the first degree-awarding, specialist osteopathic institution in the world. To make the most of this unique status, they needed to review their name and their brand. With IE's help they've become the University College of Osteopathy (UCO).

IE Digital developed two new websites for the University College and its clinic. Early in the consultancy it became obvious that the clinic needed a separate website to address the specific needs of its user base, so the two sites have been designed and developed in parallel to accommodate the differing user journeys, while maintaining close links and a consistent look and feel.

The University of York is a top 20 UK university with a strong record of employability – it comes top of all the Russell Group universities for the proportion of graduates in work or further study three years after leaving. 

In spite – or perhaps because – of that success, the Careers brand had been neglected and no longer represented the services on offer. They needed to increase visibility and drive engagement with a compelling strategy, simplified brand architecture, clear and concise messaging and an arresting visual identity. 

IE Brand helped UoY to achieve just that, creating a more mature brand for Careers with strong calls to action and a more challenging tone. The new brand sets expectations higher and emphasises a less passive, partnership approach between students and the careers team to maximise their prospects.

Open Doors International (ODI) serves persecuted Christians worldwide through bible delivery, bible training, practical support, advocacy and prayer.

IE has worked with ODI on projects as varied as a supporter magazine toolkit, a gamified interactive learning resource, a 60th anniversary logo and digital consultancy around customer journeys through ODI's suite of international websites.

We were also commissioned to undertake a comprehensive brand audit to inform the future development of the Open Doors brand.

#LoveNotLandfill is a new campaign brand aimed at changing the fashion habits of young Londoners as part of ECAP – the European Clothing Action Plan.

The campaign is aimed at normalising sustainable behaviour in young people aged 16-24, to divert clothes away from incinerators and landfill. This audience buy a lot of cheap clothes and tend not to know the best way to care for them to make sure they last longer. But, they are generally open to changing their habits for the sake of the environment, as long as they can continue to dress well and look good.

The vibrant new brand supports campaign activity to encourage participation in clothes swapping events, bring banks, mend and repair workshops, and buying second hand. It's being promoted in sixth forms and universities across London, as well as at pop up shops with second-hand clothes curated by sustainable and ethical fashion bloggers. 

The campaign's hard launch kicked off in September 2018, including the launch of new clothing banks around London designed by street artist Bambi and an extensive PR campaign.
