Teamwork makes the dream work
Event Identity & collateral
A project team at the World Bank team with members across sub-Sahara Africa wanted to meet and have a team-building session after the relaxation of the covid and work-from-home regulations. The team had not met in person in over 28 months and was excited to finally have this session. So a team building session was the most ideal way to break the back to work ice.
As the team tasked with the project execution, we developed an event identity that resonated with the team's key mandate while using abstract art to excite the team to show up and most important of all have it be as memorable as possible to them.
Marking 20 years of impact
Brand Development
African Trade Insurance Agency was celebrating two decades of designing innovative financial products aimed at harnessing Africa’s unique trade, investment, & development opportunities. Our task was to deliver this promise through their annual general meeting in Accra, Ghana. This year's session celebrates Africa.
African Nations represent a rich and dynamic tapestry of culture and economic innovation. ATI is proud to be a key strategic development partner to this diverse continent that we call home.
ADC in the Wild
Brand Develpment & Event identity
The African spirit is a free and wild one. When we were told that the ADC Team would be meeting for the first time since the pandemic hit, we went wild! And we thought it was a mutual feeling across the team so we developed an interactive and engaging program over the course of 3 days that entailed a strategy meeting, team-building exercises, and a gala dinner to recognize the best employees for FY21/22.
Given that this was an out-of-the-city event, we developed a theme that would resonate with the location, excite the team to show up and most important of all be memorable to them - "ADC in the wild".
MAERSK @ IFTEX
Exhibition booth and display design
The challenge was simple; how to attract delegates to a space that spoke to the client’s core business. After three years of Covid-19-induced absence, the International Flower Trade Expo, IFTEX, 2022 was set to be held in Nairobi Kenya. The expo was projected to bring together more than 125 Kenyan and international exhibiting companies and international flower buyers and visitors from over 40 countries in which Kenya sells its flowers.
Maersk's participation was crucial and aligned with the signing of a Framework of Cooperation between the Kenya Flower Council (KFC) and the Netherlands set to strengthen the adoption of sea freight in Kenya. Whilst opening up a world of possibilities with Maersk’s end-to-end logistics solutions.
ADC African Spirit
Event Identity
Microsoft's commitment to the African continent was reinforced by the unveiling of two state-of-the-art office facilities in Nairobi and Lagos. The Africa Development Centre (ADC), believes in what people make possible. They stand in awe of what people dare to achieve, and we aim to help them in all aspects of their lives. Everything we do is grounded in this belief.

The ADC will serve as a premier center of engineering for Microsoft, where world-class African talent can create solutions for local and global impact.
Africa Development Center (ADC) approached TAG with the challenge of re-designing their logo; the challenge being to interpret this theme (Expanding the world of Microsoft with African ingenuity) into their new identity. We worked with various elements with the hope of showcasing African ingenuity as well as maintaining ADC relationship to Microsoft. The resulting logo lay emphasis on the role African ingenuity can transform the world, in this case incorporating patterns into letters to render them as African symbols. In light of the new logo, we have worked with ADC to further develop their corporate identity and branding.
