A Design Challenge as Big as the Business
Discipline
Art Direction, Brand System, Market Strategy
Summary
Jacobs operates in eight distinct end markets, with each one comprised of different norms, challenges and strategies. For years, we’d been visually communicating our brand the same across each of these markets without giving much thought to the nuances that make them distinct in the first place. I identified this problem and took on the challenge of creating guidelines for each end market that the broader team could leverage to easily create on-brand, market-specific content.
Each toolkit outlines our work in a given market and provides guidance on color use, approved language, iconography and other assets. The toolkits also include a library of curated stock imagery specific to each market, so teams can create on-brand, on-strategy content without second guessing art direction and quality.
Icons & gradients for each market
Market specific vertical social media content
The toolkits empower the team to easily modify existing creative assets for other end markets, creating not only efficiencies in our workflows but also consistency in our communication materials across end markets.
