Two companies, two countries, one market to win.

After the merger, US and German operations went to market under separate identities. The brand transformation unified them, so customers met one company with one voice.

Meltdown Flags.

Glacier data rarely moves anyone. Meltdown Flags took the white out of the flags of countries with glaciers, tracking their retreat from 1995 to 2050. Climate science anyone can read at a glance, and one of the campaigns behind the 2021 ranking.
