The Volvo Ocean Race needed every communication activity to pull in one clear direction. Workshops shaped the brand strategy, the conceptual copy and the new graphical guidelines — a platform that carried through to the race's digital presence and, after the finish line, a coffee table book.

In a series of workshops with the Volvo Ocean Race team, the brand strategy took shape — conceptual copy and new graphical guidelines included. The platform was introduced to the organisation before the start of the race: one clear direction for every communication activity that followed.

No items found.

The platform came to life as a brand book for the internal team — produced with Kollor, with copy by Matt Carey — and extended into guidelines for the race's digital platforms.

And once the sailors of the epic around-the-world race had crossed the finish line, Ronnestam Creative Studio designed the coffee table book that did the race justice — built on the work of the on-board photographers who lived it.

“The brand platform set the direction. The book made it impossible to forget.”
— Johan Ronnestam
