WRKSHP Identity

Bringing people together through the power of play.

WRKSHP’s focus on the mobile platform has led to the development of over 55 Top 25 applications in the App Store, and to the world’s largest mobile MMO, Battle Camp, which has over 30 million downloads. WRKSHP’s latest mobile game, Beat Fever (designed and branded in collaboration with Landscape), exceeded 5 million downloads within 1 month of its release.

Landscape partnered with WRKSHP to create an identity and web presence that would reflect its passions for technology and entertainment, while differentiating it from standard associations with “tech.” The result proved to both galvanize their existing 60-person team, as well as to convey an employment brand message consistent with the talent they seek to attract.
