Greenpeace
Every large-scale campaign with multiple audience segments and targeted messaging now lives with an intense traffic of design production, revisions and deliverables. In the exponentially-expanding content space, scope creep is the new norm.
Creating campaign style guides and graphic assets for Greenpeace campaigns since 2014, Fake Crow partner and brand strategist Asli Sonceley is well-versed in tackling the client and creative agency's shared obstacles. Structuring an adaptable process in the uncharted territories of the digital space becomes the main challenge. To support visual assets' production, branding style guides require strategic guidance and documentation. This particular need rose to the surface even more clearly in the process of designing the Million Acts of Blue campaign.

INTERACTIVE MODULES MADE THE PITCH COME TOGETHER NATURALLY.
Xtensio works with the way my brain works. I'm unbound by a page and can simply toss ideas for copy, photography and graphics into Xtensio as modular pieces. Then I move them around like puzzle pieces as the strategy takes shape.

Weaving the graphic designer's process together with the approval process, we were able to accommodate moving parts and decisions, launching assets in sprints. We let the work flow and kept everything on the same medium, from the initial pitch to the final publication of the creative assets.
