VOIS isn’t a startup looking for a brand. It’s Vodafone Intelligent Solutions. A 24,000-strong global tech organisation across four countries, serving 28 markets, so the ask wasn’t to build an identity from scratch. It was more complex - to translate a large, layered enterprise into communication that truly connects. Whether it’s an MBA student choosing where to begin, or an employee navigating work during a pandemic, the need was clear:
Not branding. Not identity design.
But strategic communication across audiences and moments that matter.

THE CHALLENGE

One Brand, Three Very Different Communication Problems

This wasn't a single-brief project. Each layer came with its own audience, its own tension, and its own definition of success.

Talent acquisition:

This wasn't a single-brief project. Each layer came with its own audience, its own tension, and its own definition of success.

Crisis communication:

Had to sustain morale during COVID with messaging that felt human and cut through inbox fatigue.

Operational transition:

Guided 24,000 employees across countries back to offices with clear, calm communication that drove behaviour while reducing anxiety.

Challenge

_VOIS faced three key communication gaps:

low visibility among India’s B-school talent

internal fatigue from overexposed COVID-era messaging

and the need to drive real behaviour change during return-to-office across diverse markets.

Objectives

For talent position _VOIS as a technology employer of choice, not a Vodafone back-office. For employees during the pandemic make the organization feel present and human when everything felt distant and transactional. For the return-to-work transition, turn policy documents into communication people actually trusted enough to follow.

Objectives

03 - BRAND COMMUNICATION

Our approach was built on one principle:

A global enterprise doesn't need more content, it needs the right communication, for the right audience, at the right moment.

04 - DIGITAL CAMPAIGN

VANTAGE 2021 was treated as an employer brand campaign, not an event promotion. The theme 'Innovate Together' positioned _VOIS as collaborative and future-facing, a deliberate contrast to the hierarchical image large corporate subsidiaries carry with young talent. The visual language used illustration and pattern systems rooted in technology and connectivity, designed to feel closer to a progressive tech company than a traditional telecom. Every asset was built to answer one question before a student even read the details: is this a place where I'd want to build my career?

COVID 19 messaging for WFH (Work from home) employees

COVID-19 WFH Communication was designed to feel like it came from a colleague, not a corporate function. We addressed the real challenges of isolation, blurred boundaries, mental fatigue through a visual and tonal language that was warm, specific, and human. The goal wasn't to inform; it was to make people feel understood.

Return to Work Handbook

Return to Work Handbook was structured around the employee's journey from the decision to return, to commuting, to navigating the new office so information unfolded in the order it was needed, not the order it was written by the policy team. The design prioritised clarity and calm over bureaucratic thoroughness.

Wellness Emailers

For this emailer Champaign, the visual vocabulary was extended as we used technology and futuristic background which we borrowed from the identity. Through this campaign _, VOIS wanted to evoke and engage their employees to do yoga and maintain physical and psychological life.

Annual Security Festival

The Brief

_VOIS aimed to elevate its annual Security Festival- its flagship internal initiative focused on building awareness around security policies and best practices. The objective was to create a strong, engaging visual identity that could simplify complex security concepts and encourage employee participation through interactive and immersive touchpoints like games, event collaterals, and on-ground branding.

The identity is built around the idea of “spotlight” as both a visual and conceptual metaphor. Security, often unseen yet critical, is brought into focus through a beam of light that directs attention to what truly matters. The typography is clean and bold, ensuring clarity, while the subtle integration of a shield within the letterform reinforces protection and vigilance. The spotlight effect not only enhances visibility but also symbolizes awareness, positioning security as something that needs to be actively seen, understood, and practiced.

What Tied It All Together

What Tied It

All Together

Across four campaigns with distinct audiences and objectives, we maintained a single visual system technology-forward, illustration-led, and unmistakably _VOIS. Whether a B-school student saw a VANTAGE post on LinkedIn or an employee in Budapest opened a return-to-work handbook, the visual language signalled the same thing: an organization that communicates with thought and precision. In enterprise communication, consistency isn't repetition, it's trust.
