The Challenge
The challenge for this project was to create a brand and website that communicated both professionalism and innovation. The agency wanted to showcase their work and expertise in order to appeal to potential clients seeking high-quality, creative services. Additionally, it needed to recruit freelance professionals by showcasing the agency as a dynamic, cutting-edge business. The website had to be visually engaging and highlight the agency’s diverse capabilities.
Research
We conducted extensive market research, analyzing competitors’ websites and their marketing strategies. This helped us understand the landscape and pinpoint key differentiators for GöK Agency. We created buyer personas to better understand the target audience, making sure the brand would resonate with both potential clients and freelance professionals.
Ideation
Based on the research, we created a brand concept that reflected the agency’s creative and technological strengths. This included a visual identity that used bold, bright colors to evoke trust while maintaining a professional look. The “Ö” in the logo was distorted in some applications to give the brand a playful personality that matches perfectly with its goal: to bring great ideas to life through technology and innovation. For the website, we focused on creating an engaging user experience with a structure that would effectively communicate the agency’s services and showcase their portfolio.
Design
As Art Director, I worked closely with the team to bring the brand to life. I was responsible for designing the website , with a modern and innovative user interface that was easy to navigate. I also designed custom icons and graphics to represent the agency’s services, along with animations that would be integrated into the website. The final design focused on high-quality imagery and video, aligned with the agency’s innovative core values.
Testing and Iteration
We tested different interactive features and animations to fine-tuned the website’s user experience and usability, gathering feedback to make sure the website was visually engaging while also performing well across all devices.
