Opportunity Powered by Insight — Future Partners

We worked with Future Partners to create a complete brand evolution—including a new name—worthy of a small but mighty team of industry experts.

As the company has grown over the past 20 years, its look has remained largely the same. Together, we explored a broad range of new names that balance the credibility and creativity Future Partners is known for. When paired with a vibrant brand identity and sophisticated digital experience, Future Partners signals a clear nod to the future of travel.

Bright in color and bold in typography, the design system is anchored in iconic data visualizations and warm photography that inform and inspire an audience of global leaders. The symbol, which evokes partnership and a gateway toward new opportunities, was constructed to celebrate the endless opportunities that accompany travel.

The digital experience is brought to life by rich stories of client success across the country. Architected to accommodate an expansive library of research, the new website offers an immersive display of the expertise found at Future Partners.

The result is a robust yet flexible system designed to capture hearts, minds, and market share for years to come.

Full case study to come.

Lightning Ridge, Australia

Once an opal mining hub, now a slightly forgotten but nevertheless eccentric part of the Australian Outback.

The town sits nine hours from any large body of water. Besides a communal hot spring reminiscent of a pre-war bath house with an Australian twist, the landscape is dry; brown and gray as far as the eye can see, occasionally interrupted by a hot burst of Bougainvillea’s.

Our motel was somewhere between kitschy and creepy, a series of single story log cabins with a pub in the middle that seemed to host the majority of the town each night. Most people were friendly, some were not. But ignorance is bliss and I was ignorant.

With most of my time spent steps from the ocean, there’s something about the uninhabitable disposition of the desert that feels magnetizing. Maybe a sense of transient depersonalization, rumbling down a gravel road on the 1200 Sportster, flanked by a terrified emu and a pack of wild horses.

The rest of the world seems to fall away and all you can think about is whether or not your sweaty hands might slip off the grips on one of those potholes and send you into the next dream.
