Renaming positioned The Peers Project as the production agency, and Peers2Peers as the flagship podcast.
Studio Chenchen’s branding concept centres around the idea of a Digital Artisan. It communicates creativity, digital fluency and has a young and creative, but professional and savvy vibe. The branding demonstrates the client’s depth and mastery in the niche world of podcasts; that they appreciate craft but are also reflective and accepting of modernity's shift from traditional mediums.
Capturing the texture of sound and story.
Studio Chenchen directed digital artwork and sound design to demonstrate the new identity. The artwork shows how a good podcast affects us: intangible sounds forming abstract, tangible bodies; vibrant textures reflecting music, sounds and voices; and attention to the livery in our mouths and ears. A designed set of sound files lets the client integrate the brand into its products.
The branding architecture is minimal, allowing the art to shine. The elements enable an adaptable branding system, with scope to support and differentiate their work as a production agency, as well as individual products the agency might produce.
The new branding package provides The Peers Project with a strong and unique brand presence in the industry.
The re-brand helped the Peers Project’s social media following to triple and empowered the production house to pitch to multinational brands and a world-class university.
In the first 8 months after the rebrand, the Peers Project attracted several major Australian brands in the retail and e-commerce sectors as clients, including Forever New, Modibodi and Adorn Cosmetics. This list has now gone global with the Peers Project now servicing the likes of Alibaba Australia and New Zealand and Shopify.
