Approach:
11 reports (including 4 annual reports) produced over 4 years.
Acumen’s business is complex, and the primary design focus of these reports is to represent the brand, its mission, challenges, the value of investor funds, how those funds are deployed, and the impact they create in the regions they serve. The goal is to communicate this information with transparency, clarity, sensitivity, and simplicity.
Outcome:
A confident, cohesive brand rollout that introduced a design system to unify Acumen’s complex body of work. The reports communicate perseverance and thought leadership through their distinct expertise, while maintaining transparency for investors — supporting continued and new investment, and elevating the visibility of the organisation’s deeply philanthropic mission.
