The Arc

Launch, spotlight, story, showcase.

The largest single collection in this partnership. One brand system, held together by a recurring palette, wordmark, and supporting pattern, adapted week to week: from an opening provocation, through innovation and personal stories, to a closing celebration of the people behind the ideas.

Ink Navy, Marigold & Ivory, held across every touchpoint, from carousels to quote cards.

Week 1

Campaign Launch

Two carousels set the tone for the month: an open-ended provocation on Africa's future, and a direct look at what still needs fixing.

Week 2

Innovation Spotlight

A set of innovation cards paired with a personal story, how one hospital moment led Simon Maina to start saving mothers' lives with a simple tool, plus supporting quote cards.

Week 3

People-First Innovation

“What happens when innovation meets people where they are?”, a story carousel grounded in real settings, with quote and comparison cards backing up the argument with data.

Week 4

Innovators & Changemakers

The month closes with a showcase carousel introducing the innovators and changemakers shaping Africa's future, one solution at a time.
