The tagline is a call-to-action that tells more than one story ‒ used with modern web chat-like lingo and elements ‒ asking the audience to see for themselves, think, and seed by sharing the story/message to others.
SEE THIS. SHARE THIS. SEED THIS.
Every story has a beginning and an end. The story in the middle is what captivates us. And every story needs an intro and an extro.

BLERD. MasterClass
Taking on a modern approach and staying true to the brand’s vision of great storytelling, the brand and platform’s mission is to find and tell a story even in a single frame. With this approach the ‘moving pictures’ concept (inspired by the Harry Potter movies) was a key visual element that was implemented on the platform.
The identity/logo also took on the ‘moving pictures’ approach on the digital space.
We found interesting stories and gave them wings ‒ stories that resonate with audiences, keeping them relevant, informative and engaging.
