Give a Grad a Go
Give a Grad a Go started trading in October 2009. It’s aim is to link talented young graduates with the commercial world, through unique work experience and placement opportunities. They call themselves the cupid of the recruitment world. Initially we pitched for the identity; the work then developed into the website design copywriting and build, plus marketing and brand development. Brand-ing worked closely with the MD Cary Curtis and his team creating an identity that is different for the marketplace, and sets them apart from their competitors.
As the Company expanded and the business found it’s niche, we have worked with GAGAGO to release the new look website. We have still retained the original illustrations, but have used them in a more minimal way. The new site links various social media platforms which the team updates daily.
Giving my company an identity that separated it from the crowd was an area I thought would be a real struggle. You have a concept, you come up with a name, then what? I turned to Brand-ing to lay out a few initial ideas, within a short space of time we’d progressed from a chat over a coffee to a company image, a logo and what I believe to be a really powerful brand. All generated from their vision, resourcefulness and his understanding of exactly what it was i needed.
The work on the website then required a lot of research, meetings and detailed design work which Gary Ingram and his team made look easy. Working with Brand-ing will continue to be a pleasure and a privilege as, without any doubt, they have a significant impact in getting Give A Grad A Go off the ground so quickly and cost effectively.
