We built a brand identity that amplifies this zero-to-video promise. Fluid gradients, modular shapes and a confident tone of voice bring Mirage’s transformative power to life: complexity simplified, ideas shaped, videos made.

Founderful is one of Switzerland’s leading pre-seed funds, backing early-stage startups as they grow into market leaders. We developed their strategy, name, and visual and verbal identity to reflect their first, fast, and founder-friendly focus.

Shout out to Oliver Sin for bringing the illustrations to life.

The brand’s wordmark and symbol, inspired by classic French monograms and organic forms, further reinforces this commitment to a greener future.

We’re proud to have partnered with Hook since their inception in 2020. Back then we worked closely with Firaas on everything from the foundations of the brand: name, strategy, MVP brand and digital product mockups, through to investor decks that helped support their incredible, ongoing growth. In just five years, Hook has become one of the most innovative players in Customer Success. Our latest brand and digital evolution reflects both product breakthroughs and AI integrations—agents that can listen, think and act for you. From a brand perspective this ongoing process of iteration and evolution is important. It ensures the business can adapt and evolve, whilst presenting those changes to the world in a way that is consistent and builds on your equity.

Healthcare is undergoing its biggest cultural shift in decades. Longevity is being rebranded from biohacking to everyday health. Women’s health is expanding from a niche into a $100B+ market. Preventive care and full-body diagnostics are becoming more accessible, while AI redefines how care is delivered. But as science races ahead, brand can still lag behind—uninspired visuals, cold messaging, and little emotional depth. Our latest health reel captures how we’ve helped Withings, Amazon, Huma, Talkspace, Semble, Replay and Need Inc move from information to meaning. 🎥 Watch the reel below.

In the latest edition of OFF Brand, we explore how love becomes equity—why Porsche AG builds generational fandom, Chicago Cubs fans fill stadiums regardless of wins, and Hello Kitty evolves across cultures without losing her essence. Emotional, yes. But strategic to the core. Read the full edition → https://lnkd.in/eHXMnzak

The team covered everything from early brand integration to what Riot learned from launching VALORANT — and why Discord might matter more than your next trailer.
