approaching the blockchain story
Secure, Seamless, Quality Entertainment, Without Middlemen
CHALLENGE
Pitching blockchain solutions to investors in exchange for tokens is never an easy task. Armed with only a strong existing business without a clear story, our team needed to start virtually from scratch.
HOW WE HELPED
Working together with their Chief Commercial Officer, we wrote and designed a new story pitting their start up against giants like Netflix and conventional cable to show the eventual evolution of the entertainments space. The result was a beautiful visual story that captivated the hearts of investors.

standing out in a noisy landscape
Auston: Education For Makers
In Singapore’s competitive education landscape – there are heavyweight public universities like NUS, SMU, NTU along with a myriad of other private institutions all vying for the same students. Filling a student body cohort requires more than generic messaging and pitches, it demands a strong, unique story and positioning.
BUILDING A UNIQUE, PERSUASIVE SALES KIT
Identifying Auston’s Unique Proposition In A Crowded Market
CHALLENGE
Auston Institute was a newcomer to the private education space and faced difficulty identifying their differentiating factors in the industry. Their existing sales presentation used to pitch to partners and prospective students sorely needed a visual and structural re-design.
HOW WE HELPED
We took apart the Auston identity, conducted primary research on other competitors within the local education space. What we found was that Auston boasted several competencies and industry affiliations in Engineering and technical courses that stood out as a value-add to their customers. We gave their presentation a visual face lift as well as re-wrote the fundamental story they were telling to others.
RESULT
Auston walked away with a story that their internal teams could align to and consistently tell to external stakeholders. Personal pitches made to prospectives students of the school grew more successful and the school has managed to solidify its foothold in the local market.

POSITIONING THE CUTTING EDGE

It can be challenging to make an organisation run dominantly by brilliant scientists sound relevant and interesting to a layperson audience. Digging deep into what made the agency special and paying tribute to their top minds and fellows was the goal of our engagement.
heavy complexity, made clear
Transforming The Verbose Into Visual
CHALLENGE
A*Star I²R regularly has its teams interact with external parties outside the organisation – whether its for commercialisation requirements, partnership discussions or company introductions, they lacked a clear and persuasive presentation to describe their company and brand.
HOW WE HELPED
We interviewed numerous technical experts and strategists within the organisation to suss out the key messages of what made their innovations special. These were then translated into a structure coupled with case studies and visuals. The presentation was adopted and adapted by the organisation of more than 100 employees.
