→ 01 / The brief
What they came with.
Current Digital had built brand systems for 80+ Kenyan businesses but their own site looked like an early WordPress template. Founders flying in from Lagos and London were pitching against agencies whose homepages alone communicated a higher tier.
→ 02 / Approach
What we did.
Editorial dark surface, oversized italic display headlines, hand-graded marquees of disciplines, and a portfolio grid that lets a logo stand next to a full web application without flattening either. Three disciplines (brand identity, web applications, digital strategy) became the three slabs of the homepage.
