Smallwood

IfThen conceived and delivered Timeless Relationships, a brand awareness campaign for internationally recognized architecture firm Smallwood—celebrating how lasting relationships shape exceptional work.

Smallwood is an internationally established architecture firm with offices in Atlanta and Singapore. They provide innovative design & build services for commercial, hospitality, industrial, and educational projects worldwide.

Smallwood’s leadership team identified the timely need to make a meaningful connection with their client partnerships through a compelling and optimistic brand awareness campaign. Timeless Relationships is both the creative concept name and the outward-facing title for campaign activations. The campaign direction was inspired by Smallwood celebrating the endeavors and successes of their clients through creative collaboration. The resulting campaign consisted of a carefully considered print suite with custom details that lend a thoughtful, personal touch while encouraging imagination, play, and creativity.

The campaign visual system is a thoughtful collection of iconic artwork, architectural projects, and symbolic words that expresses a love for design, building, working with clients, and nurturing the next generation of architects.

Drawing powerful, visual relationships between creations of the past and the art of Smallwood architecture is the campaign device that communicates the concept of differentiating design principles & a unique approach to creative problem solving.

The campaign celebrates the idea that just as creativity endures through time, it is the inspired relationships that make each Smallwood project a lasting creative endeavor. Timeless Relationships also reflects the way Smallwood thinks & operates: with an insatiable desire to remain inspired, and a collective point of view about the power of different perspectives.
