Ellipsis Announces Brand You Initiative

Design agency Ellipsis has announced its Brand-You initiative in collaboration with Pimp My Cause to support the Year of Great Marketing Karma. Through the initiative, the Ellipsis team will provide a complete brand makeover pro bono to one of our causes for each month of the Year.



Ellipsis is a creative graphic design agency with a passion for successful communication based in Covent Garden, London. Their work ranges from corporate identities and websites to large scale conference and event branding.

An example of a logo designed by Ellipsis for London Spree, a seasonal shopping discount initiative from the Junior League of London.

The Brand-You makeover package will include:

• Logo – supplied as jpgs, eps (web and print friendly formats)
• Web look and feel for up to five web pages (Design of the flat visuals of the website is included, but not the web development. They can recommend a developer to build your site if needed.)
• Simple PDF style-guide including colour references, typefaces and logo positioning
• Microsoft Word templates for letters, invoices and quotes
• Microsoft PowerPoint template for presentations
• Email header
• Business card template artwork

We asked Ellipsis founder Chris Hoskins to share with us why they were inspired to offer the Brand-You initiative and partner with Pimp My Cause. He said, "I remember how difficult and daunting everything seemed when I first set up my company, so I wanted us to celebrate our 21st birthday by giving something back to enterprising new talent and start them off in a positive direction."

"Ellipsis has successfully grown over the last two decades but we’ve always retained our personal and friendly approach and pride ourselves on developing strong working relationships. Brand-You is our way of sharing our experience, expertise and skills with forward-thinking people and groups who open to new ideas. "

"We are delighted to be able to partner with Pimp My Cause on this initiative as their aims are so closely aligned with our own. We both want to encourage and mentor deserving causes."

Ellipsis produced a Coca-cola Invent the Future conference for senior leaders, which featured a mixture of input, group discussions, workshops together with interactive voting. And the whole event was captured in a series of illustrations by graphic artists which provided a unique visual representation of the outcomes of the event shown above.

With the Brand-You initiative Ellipsis is looking to reward diverse groups who are imaginative, ambitious and passionate about what they do.
