In rebranding the agency, sub-brands received a look that was connected to the greater McGuffin umbrella but were able to stand on their own. This included developing new logos for both the McGuffin Grant (a grant of $25,000 worth of creative services given to a non-profit on an annual basis) and McGuffin Mornings (a quarterly thought leadership series of speakers across different marketing media over a breakfast).
While both sub-brands pull from the overall palette, each has a unique flavor — the Grant is friendly, warm, and much less rigid than the umbrella brand; while McGuffin Mornings combined the editorial look of the brand with the packaging for fresh coffee beans.
