Audley is a global advisory firm specialising in complex reputation, policy, and communications challenges. Audley sought a brand refresh to better reflect their premium positioning and the experienced creative counsel they provide. Their existing black and yellow identity with soft graphic elements no longer aligned with their ambition to be seen as trusted, modern and authoritative. The goal was to create a cohesive, elevated brand system that clearly communicates their value.

Process

The project began with a full visual identity refresh. I introduced a rich new colour palette: dark green as a grounding background complemented by orange accents and dark grey text. This created a modern premium look while allowing key elements to stand out.

Typography played a key role, headlines use a strong serif style inspired by traditional media to convey trust, balanced with a clean sans serif body font for legibility and contrast.

Next, I redesigned the website to align with Audley’s new brand direction:

  • A simplified, engaging homepage to build interest and credibility
  • Strategic use of color to draw attention to important content
  • A dynamic layout combining text and custom graphics
  • Motion-based visuals derived from the logo for visual consistency
  • A CMS setup to support regular blog and news updates

Result

A unified brand identity and website that reflects Audley’s expertise and originality. All marketing and internal assets now align under a consistent, professional visual system.

Audley can now communicate its services more clearly and effectively. The cohesive design system has streamlined internal workflows and improved the creation of adaptable documents and materials. With greater confidence in their visual identity the team now actively uses and updates the site, supporting both engagement and growth.
