Project Brief

Our brief was to create a NAB branded notebook that workshop attendees could take away as a reminder of the brand strategy and identity tools.

Beyond its basic functionality as a notebook, it needed to deliver in two key areas. Firstly, the notebook needed to showcase how the NAB brand had evolved into a braver, more energetic and more customer-focused identity. Secondly, it was to act as a quick reference guide – helping their people successfully implement on-brand communications.

Project Need

Every member of the brand and marketing team is responsible for championing the brand on a daily basis. The NAB notebook presented an opportunity to keep the brand top of mind, acting as a physical reference point that the team could carry with them every day.

User Experience

Building on the toolkit elements, we needed to communicate the braver, more authentic photography style, our more impactful and personable typefaces, and tone of voice. It was also important to reinforce the purpose and strategic foundations of the brand. The notebook needed to give people a clear understanding of what the brand positioning meant, how it translated into the brand toolkit, and why it was important for our customers and the business. Above all, we needed to find a way to showcase our identity in a way that reflected the customer-centric brand and business model.
