Annual reports make the #2014Success List

…Do I sense another trophy on its way?

What better way to kick-start our #2014Success List than with our annual report highlights…

Following the fantastic achievement of our 2012 annual report for Community Gateway Association, there was no question that this time round their annual report had to be better than ever.

Gateway tasked us with producing a report that communicated social value, increased membership involvement and simply wowed them; it was from that moment on that we knew your average annual report would just not cut it. To tackle this brief head on we developed the ‘It’s All About You’ campaign and member’s pack. We filled the pack with encouraging copy, easy to read facts and figures and engaging tenant stories, which, of course, resulted in only one outcome; happy tenants and the busiest AGM to date!

I think it’s safe to say we definitely wowed Gateway! And we are now more confident than ever that we can help them bag another trophy in the New Year; good luck at the TPAS awards Gateway!



Another corker to add to the collection is Progress Housing Group’s digital annual report; focussed on building upon the group’s strong foundations and celebrating their 20 years of Progress (happy birthday!).

We were tasked with humanising the new Progress brand; promoting its contemporary look and feel and producing a stand out report on a B2B level…no problem! We designed the spreads in a bold graphic style, using engaging photography, testimonials and eye-catching infographics. 

It’s clear the end result shouts nothing more than what Progress Housing Group is; ‘all about the people’ and not one to be missed.




So that’s that then, two more cracking annual reports under our belt this year. A huge thanks to Community Gateway Association and Progress Housing Group for giving us the opportunity to do what we do best!
