This podcast episode focuses on 818, a "tiny design empire", showcasing how their design-centric approach functions as a strategic problem-solving tool rather than just focusing on aesthetics. The discussion highlights three diverse case studies: Guide One Insurance, where a company history was transformed into an immersive, dimensional timeline; Jell's Community Fridge, which required a brand identity that balanced professionalism with personal warmth; and Continuum Mag, for which they developed a "future-proof" brand architecture and digital strategy. The overarching theme emphasizes 818's process of deeply understanding client challenges and translating them into impactful, scalable, and enduring design solutions across various industries.
