As you will see, it’s not just Old Waconians and Friends of the School that contribute to the School; fundraising activity by current parents, students, governors and staff shows that the spirit of philanthropy on which the School was founded is still very much alive today.

What We Did... ......................................................................................... Designed and produced a piece of printed literature that highlighted the diversity of those individuals that support the School, be it through making a financial donation, or the giving of their time. The double gatefold square format folds out to reveal the entire group of donors, who all came to School to take part in a photo shoot, shot by the wonderful Lumi Studios and art directed by us, of course!

PRIMARY SCIENCE TEACHING TRUST REBRAND Client Profile... ......................................................................................... For the first decade of its’ life, The Primary Science Teaching Trust was supported by a global Life Sciences company. It became independent earlier this year, and asked us to deliver a new brand and corporate identity that would reflect the evolution of the Trust.
What We Did... ......................................................................................... After consulting KS1 & KS2 primary teachers, we began to understand that at this level of learning, the ‘discovery’ factor and the inquisitive nature of the work was the most fun for all concerned. We called this ‘Why and How’, a concept that was adopted as the new Trust name, supported by the appropriate strapline. Collateral produced to date includes a kit of exhibition materials, presentation templates and some very funky mugs!
why& how? PRIMARY SCIENCE TEACHING TRUST
TESTIMONY... “ Your fantastic understanding of our audience and ability to work with us strategically as well as creatively has made the daunting prospect of a rebrand a very pleasurable one. Thank you!”
