📰 Industry title Creativepool goes #BehindTheBrand with Driftime® to hear more about Instant Aid’s recent rebrand and fresh new look.

Can visual storytelling change the world?
This November, Driftime®'s CCO, Abb-d Taiyo, will be speaking at Design Council’s Design for Planet Festival to discuss how Driftime® use storytelling and visual language to influence real change.
Digital designers, as the largest and fastest-growing group of designers in the UK, have a unique opportunity to influence change. Creating compelling graphics and striking visuals can capture attention and drive awareness for key climate issues and solutions, but that’s not all we can do…
The notion of profit versus purpose is a tiring, outdated and lazy argument that we’ve been discussing and debating for years now. Many in the creative industry still find this perplexing and choose to stick within the comfortable conventions of 'profit first' which in most cases, can be completely understandable, but Abb-d argues that there is another way.

Can a fresh brand identity transform how we support charities?
Industry title Creativepool goes #BehindTheBrand with Driftime® to hear more about Instant Aid’s recent rebrand.
With a focus on mobilising immediate, targeted, and localised support to those affected by global disasters within just 48 hours, Instant Aid reaches a wide demographic, calling for support from funders, NGOs, and influential institutions, as well as empowering people on the ground with the resources they need to recover from crises.
By partnering with design and impact agency Driftime®, Instant Aid opted for a comprehensive rebranding initiative, including a new logo, website, and refreshed tone of voice aimed at reinforcing Instant Aid’s reputation as a reliable leader in disaster response. To break away from the traditional bureaucratic image associated with the industry, Instant Aid sought a new visual identity that reflects this commitment.

Turning up the volume at B Corp’s latest festival, Louder Than Words
This September, Driftime® CCO Abb-d Taiyo will be speaking at B Corp’s two day festival with Design Declares.
Taking to the main stage in the good company of Morrama founder and D! co-steer, Jo Barnard, Abb-d will be speaking to the journey of community impact through Design Declares. If you can't make the main stage talk in the morning, Abb-d will also be speaking at three panel sessions throughout the day with Hoa Doan of Notpla, and Dominic Gogol of We Mean Business Coalition on harnessing business power for climate action.
This fringe-style event will be taking over the city of Oxford for two days, proving that the B Corp movement really is louder than words. Get involved!
