BRANDS X ASHER JAY

While Yoke and Anchor is an interdisciplinary creative team working on marketing communications, brand design, development, differentiation and positioning, a lot of our efforts do use Asher Jay as the face of the campaigns we launch, which is often requested by brands we partner with. Jay, the founder and CEO of Y+A is also a brand ambassador and has earned her repute as a spokeswoman for various conservation, sustainability and conscious consumerism initiatives worldwide. This means we also get an opportunity to represent Jay as in house talent.

Mass and Social Media Campaign

WWF Malaysia came to me with a problem set, “How can we rehabilitate, reclaim and repopulate different habitat regions in 14 different countries to double tiger numbers?” Solution: Tiger stripes are to tigers what thumb imprints are to people, they express individual identity. Thumbs up for Tigers is meant to help raise awareness about the extant population of tigers in the world, and help double their current numbers by preserving extant habitat ranges from encroachment in the countries they are native to. When individual citizens in each of these countries get behind the movement, it becomes easier to create the space to let tigers be tigers. Produced a comprehensive social media strategy, an animation advert, campaign narrative arc, gifs, and a static image concept direction that can be replicated on templates.

IDENTITY GUIDELINES and BRAND STORY

This was the brand’s voice before the redesign. Yoke and Anchor was asked to produce a complete redesign of the brand’s visual footprint and aesthetic sensibility, that was then fed into a comprehensive re-framing, refining and re-telling of the brand’s entire story in the form of a pitch deck. Also created six stand alone visual assets to be employed for their six different focal pillars. The final outputs that were generated are all evident here.

All content that was created for this brand is now attributed to them.
