Identity, campaign and promotional films for two online summits, on lifting depression and overcoming addiction.
Client
Human Givens Institute
Role
Lead designer
Scope
2 online summits
Overview
The Institute’s first ticketed online summit had no identity and no campaign behind it. I built both, then adapted them for a second event on addiction.
At a glance
February 2021 to March 2023
Challenge
A first paid online event about depression, with nothing to build on
Role
Design, campaign and video editing, working from the Institute’s scripts and objectives
Delivered
Identity · 2 promotional films · Campaigns · CPD certificates
Results
550+ delegates at the first summit, with replays still on sale
A paid event about depression had to feel trustworthy without feeling clinical. A rising sun and overlapping speech bubbles set a warm, conversational tone, carried from the first announcement through the website, emails and social posts to the CPD certificates.

CPD certificate
Lifting Depression Summit · 2021
The identity carried through to the CPD certificate, made to be printed and kept. It sets out the six hours of talks and the topics covered, signed by the Institute’s chair and co-founder.
Films
Two films, cut in Premiere.
The promotional films led each campaign. Working from the Institute’s scripts, I took them from first edit to final delivery: sourcing footage, licensing music and building motion graphics, then cutting shorter and vertical versions for social.
The Lifting Depression Summit
A hopeful, evidence-based tone for people affected by depression and low mood.
The Overcoming Addiction Summit
Recovery and long-term change, with a character of its own.

Campaign
One framework, two summits.
The first campaign ran across the website, email and social media, from the first announcement to the replay. For the addiction summit I kept that framework and gave it its own character, with new imagery and messaging for a different subject and audience.

The Lifting Depression Summit drew more than 550 delegates, and its campaign framework carried straight into a second summit on addiction. Both replays are still on sale on the Institute’s conference site: Lifting Depression and Overcoming Addiction.

Looking back
What I enjoyed most was bringing branding, video and campaign design together, then adapting it all for a second subject.
