Robots that deliver
Invented in Google’s innovation lab, Cartken is one of the world’s first autonomous robot delivery companies.
After successful trials in the US, Japan, and Europe, Cartken wanted to turn their early-stage venture into a powerful and lasting brand.
We ran a series of brand workshops with founders and Cartken’s global leadership team. It helped us bring the company’s core vision, mission and ambitions to life.
A renewed brand strategy and distinctive brand identity, aligned the Cartken team, emboldening their future brand marketing and plans for growth.

Shining a light on shadow IT
DataTech company Workscope manage IT risk by analysing data and sharing end-user insights, via their proprietary tech platform.
After expanding their suite of software tools – beyond their early-stage single product offer – the company needed to reposition and rebrand, to appeal to global corporations.
Simpler, more accessible brand messaging, coupled with a sharper visual identity, shifted Workscope’s brand image from: fledgling startup, to enterprise-grade company.
"Feedback has been incredibly positive and people are more engaged with the company than ever."
