Studio to Street
The Nexus Innovation Centre invited eight of its start-up companies to participate in the principles and practice of naming and branding their business idea. This was called ‘Studio to Street’ and it ran for two weeks. Week One consisted of an introduction to branding and included a model on company name generation. This phase was completed by BFK’s brand experts Martin Crotty and Aiden Kenny. In Week Two, each company – now with a name – needed a visual expression of their brand. It was at this phase of the project that I came on board. 

The solution
During Week Two of the brand module I worked on site with four of the start-ups, creating brand concepts, reviewing exploratory design work, workshopping and refining the chosen solution based on their feedback. I had the pleasure of working with Intraharvest (harvesting bioenergy to power internal medical devices), Sensomi (sensory toys for children and young adults with learning difficulties), Bladstatz (monitoring the efficiencies of wind turbine blades) and First Reaction (a sports performance based app). The week culminated in a group presentation where each company was introduced, the premise behind the business explained and their brand mark ultimately revealed. Credit: Aiden Kenny, Martin Crotty, BFK.
