context

Northern Youth Programs ministers to indigenous peoples in remote Canada. They came to us with a corporate restructuring that necessitated a visual counterpart, and for the better part of a year we worked through who they were becoming and how to show it.

approach

This project started as a conversation where leadership just wanted to talk through the org chart. Along the way they realized what was changing was deeper than their structureโ€”it was their identity.

In response, logos, colors, and attitude were upgraded and clarified, and I built a suite of templates for internal and external communication.

We spun up a multibrand strategy to effectively reach prospective donors, volunteers, and native Canadians. All of this was consolidated into a comprehensive brand guide...
...and a suite of editable InDesign templates for their in-house team.

outcome

NYP was able to use their new brand strategy to launch a building campaign to upgrade their facilities. Construction is underway, and they are poised to continue their increased ministry for many years.
