STAD - Coalition against Direct Provision

Brand Elevation successfully collaborated with STAD, a coalition of organizations dedicated to ending direct provision in Ireland by 2024. The client approached us with a clear vision for their new charity, but they needed a strong name and brand identity to effectively convey their message and values.

Services Provided:

Brand Naming: Brand Elevation thoroughly researched the Irish charity sector and taking into consideration the goals of this new charity, came up with a number of suggestions and the client chose 'STAD' which is Irish for STOP.

  • Brand Identity Creation: Brand Elevation worked closely with STAD to understand their goals and aspirations. We presented two distinct brand identities, drawing inspiration from their mission and values. After thoughtful collaboration and analysis, we combined elements from both concepts to create a compelling and impactful logo that resonated with their audience.

  • Website Development: In the digital age, a strong online presence is crucial. We developed a responsive and user-friendly website, stad.ie, which served as the focal point for STAD's online activities. The website showcased their mission, activities, and accomplishments, effectively conveying their message to a broader audience.
