  • Client

    HELSINKI CITY

  • Agency

    KALLAN&CO

Challenge

How do you make Helsinki stand out globally — without relying on placemaking tropes or its eight year streak in the world’s happiest country?

Response

By embracing what makes it real. We built a city-wide strategy, refreshed the brand, and launched a destination platform and multi-series campaign rooted in the ethos: Real. Not Perfect.

    DESIGNSTUDIO

Challenge

How do you help a 40-year-old legacy tech brand move beyond product-first thinking to build real relevance with a fast-growing creator community?

Response

  • Client

    BRITISH AIRWAYS

  • Agency

How do you build intuitive digital journeys for diverse global travellers — while closing the gap between brand promise and booking experience?

Response

By going beyond a vision deck to design a living tool — connecting real customer insight to future product decisions. We helped embed a digital-first philosophy across teams, making experience design a strategic driver, not just a surface interaction fix.

BUILDING A REGIONAL E-SPORTS LEAGUE FOR LATIN AMERICA

  • Client

    RIOT GAMES

  • Agency

    DesignStudio

Challenge

How do you unite a fragmented community and region around a single, definitive esports league — after a series of mergers and a loss of fan trust?

Response

By building a DIY brand rooted in grassroots fandom—shaped through on-the-ground immersion across the region, and brought to life with tools and experiences that put Latin American fans at the centre of the league.

06

Unleashing Shopify’s Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

  • Client

    SHOPIFY

  • Agency

    DesignStudio

Challenge

How do you turn Shopify’s dropshipping tool into a launchpad for the next generation of entrepreneurs?

Response

We created Oberlo — a dynamic brand platform that reframes entrepreneurship through the raw, DIY spirit of the modern builder. Visually and verbally, it ditches the polished startup cliché in favour of real talk, late nights, and work-in-progress hustle.

07

Making Paddington Square London’s Next Icon

  • Client

    SELLAR

  • Agency

    Made Thought

Challenge

How do you define the identity of Paddington Square — in a city full of icons and a market saturated with placemaking noise?

Response

By positioning it not as a finished destination, but as a platform for what comes next. We rooted the destination's strategy in adaptability — a place designed to evolve, not settle. Paddington Square is an environment that invites movement, curiosity, and change — shaping a new way to work, live and connect in London.
