OVERVIEW

Description

Given the nature and sensitivity of management training and education, we were tasked with portraying a sophisticated organisation - a discreet and powerful network of industry leaders that can remedy the failures of leadership or encourage future growth.

Execution

The Confidante’s work is by its very nature, confidential. The identity is designed around the idea of discretion – a place where leaders turn. The logo mark references its name and offering through the use of the “C” turned to resemble a keyhole, and a person within. Subtle and sophisticated, the mark is descriptive and suggestive.

The communications use messaging embedded within longer copy through the use of italics, ie. ‘business is who you know’. Typographic illustrations utilise negative space to reveal additional meaning. By emphasising The Confidante’s discreet nature, the identity reassures clients that their business is their business.

Outcome

Relatively new, The Confidante’s identity is nothing to shout about. It has people talking – behind closed doors. Their client list continues to build steadily, which is the only visible marker of success.
