Project Overview

EIT Digital is a leading European organization driving digital innovation and entrepreneurial education across the continent.
To improve brand visibility and create a lasting impact, EIT Digital needed a cohesive and engaging suite of marketing assets.
This case study outlines the process of designing these assets to strengthen the organization’s brand identity and better communicate its purpose to potential partners, students, and investors.

The Challenge

  • Increase brand recognition and awareness among target audiences.

  • Enhance user experience through consistent and engaging visual design.

  • Clearly communicate EIT Digital’s purpose, initiatives, and impact.

Solutions

Research and Analysis

The first step was to thoroughly analyze EIT Digital’s existing branding, messaging, and audience demographics.
This involved understanding their core values, strategic objectives, and primary target groups — including students, entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors.

Design Concepts

Several design concepts were developed, each exploring different visual directions that prioritized clarity, consistency, and engagement.
These initial proposals were presented to EIT Digital’s stakeholders for review and collaborative refinement.

Design Execution

After a design direction was selected, the full suite of marketing assets was created — including posters, digital ads, event materials, and public space visuals.
The designs emphasized a modern, trustworthy, and dynamic image aligned with EIT Digital’s leadership in innovation and education.
