Brainovate
The Challenge
Brainovate is a highly successful leader development business based in Bucharest with clients all over Europe. They deliver specialised leadership programs to multinationals including Samsung, British American Tobacco and IBM. The business had reached a critical mass and it was decided they needed to expand and employ more consultants. To achieve their full potential Brainovate required a complete overhaul of their brand, website and marketing collateral. The challenge was to make them stand out in a highly competitive market by establishing a distinct value proposition for their business and to bring that to life with a new brand identity.
Our Approach
We worked closely with the Brainovate team to develop their new value proposition “Revealing the leader within”. This highlights the benefit of how their programs focus on how individuals can develop their full inner leadership potential. Once this was established we developed the new brand identity with a circular icon designed to reflect the nature of the training, which always has the client at the heart of everything. The final piece of the new brand jigsaw was to create a new, dynamic website and promotional video that highlighted all the benefits of working with Brainovate.

"Young Creative were a joy to work with even if they were a thousand miles from Bucharest. From start to finish their collaborative and creative approach to brand building and execution made us feel 100% part of the process. They have a genuine desire to understand what your business is and they communicate at every stage of the creative process. They work through challenges and ultimately deliver a fantastic product that is on brief, to budget and on time . We are already feeling the immediate benefits of the re-brand with positive responses from new and existing clients. Most importantly we now stand out from our competitors and have a sharp focus on how to market Brainovate."

Accountant Online
The Challenge
Young Creative were tasked with creating video content and a social media advertising to promote Accountant Online’s services. Our brief was to distinguish the business from other traditional accountants by highlighting how easy it is for clients to interact with Accountant Online by creating a feeling of trust and approachability while maintaining professionalism at all times.
Our Approach
The first step in our process was to understand Accountant Online's business and most importantly what makes them different. After agreeing a brief we came back with a creative presentation that distilled the marketing objective into a single mined message of “The Virtual Accountant With Very Real Benefits”. With this SMP in place we created a playful visual treatment for the video using hand gestures that reflect how clients interact with the business. By working closely with the client we developed a script for the video that had a conversational tone of voice that succinctly highlighted the benefits of working with Accountant Online.
“Young Creative more than over delivered when answering our brief because their service goes way beyond creating well made marketing videos. I was impressed with how they understood our business and came up with a creative way for us to position our marketing and then executed that idea with a very effective video. They made us part of the process through out and they were easy to work with”

The Challenge
This was a fast turnaround project as we only had two days notice in advance of the live event. Our brief was to create a film that captured the essence of The Change Lab event and Exhibition hosted in the NCAD gallery in Dublin, while communicating to a wider audience the creative challenge the Professional Master of Education (PME) student teachers faced.
Our Approach
As this was a live event it was essential that we captured the key moments as they happened but in a low key manner to ensure we did not interfere with the event itself. We then created a script that encapsulated the key messages of the event and the challenges the students faced. Finally we created a visual style for the film that reflected the overall style of the exhibition.
“Young Creative created a film for the event and exhibition that went way beyond our expectations. They answered our complex brief that required capturing the collaborative nature of the project, the art works the student teachers created in a short space of time and the pedagogical approach to the artwork. Everything from the initial meeting, listening to our specific requirements and the communication between Young Creative and us was seamless. We are delighted with the final result and feel it clearly and creatively communicates our message to a wider audience”
