Solution
Working with AHRI, Traffic created a new logotype and ‘cornerstone’ icon that reflected the new mission and vision for the member organisation. The creative solution was designed to inspire members to be visionary, bold and proud and the existing blue and green colours were retained in the new deliverables. One of the key campaign requirements was to identify with and relate to the diverse membership profiles. This was achieved using the cornerstone device linked to the various key targets with specific messages across traditional and digital/social media channels.
