As part of INTL 2024, I (Doug) took part in a very insightful one day Masterclass on Brand Culture with Mark Cullen, head of strategy at Made Brave. I thoroughly enjoyed it and got loads out of it that I will use in my day to day work with charities and campaigning organisations. Many thanks to Mark. Here are my top 5 insights from the day:

Internal culture is a major foundation block of your brand.

A strong brand culture helps you attract and retain good staff. Forward thinking companies like Patagonia and Lego put effort into crafting an Employer Value Proposition (EVP) and treat it as a key part of brand strategy.

Discover your brand purpose. Your organisation has a what and a how; the purpose is the why.

Always measure, even with limited resources; find something to track that can give you insight.

Brand values often end up as a predictable list of generic terms. Instead, they should be distinctive and specific to the organisation's identity.

New branding for Fisherrow Centre, Musselburgh

The challenge was clear: create a visual identity for The Fisherrow Centre that would celebrate this rich history while engaging with a modern, diverse audience. The Centre, as a lively meeting point for creativity and collaboration, needed branding that would feel both rooted and forward-thinking.

Our Approach

We turned to the iconic imagery of the Fisherrow fishwives for inspiration. Their distinctive garments—marked by folds, creases, and stripes—provided a rich visual language. By abstracting these elements, we designed a series of patterns that nod to the past while offering a fresh and contemporary aesthetic.

Heritage imagery was paired with a bold and bright color palette, striking a balance between tradition and modern energy. The colors evoke the dynamic and inclusive nature of the Centre, creating a sense of approachability and warmth.

Typography and logo design followed suit, incorporating clean, modern lines with subtle references to nautical and community themes. The result was a branding system that feels authentic to Fisherrow’s history while inviting the community to embrace its future.
