Live experience is local, and big brands want agencies that know each market. 27Names brings Europe's leading independent live-experience agencies together, one per country. The brand had to hold 27 different companies, each with its own name and look, and still read as one network.
Overview
We built 27Names' brand world: the story and positioning, a new identity and brand guidelines, the digital presence, and the design of The Barometer Report.
1,500+ people, 500+ awards. One leading independent agency in each market, now under one identity.

The Idea
27 perspectives, one point of view.

We built a system that holds the whole network together.
Logo
The original mark drew on Bodoni. We kept that tribute and gave the 27 the lead role, set in Canela above the name, so the number the network is named after comes first.
