Description

SHRUB Coop is growing. We've got a bit of a branding problem and hope someone is up to the challenge. We're a cooperative with a focus on sustainability and social justice. We've just expanded 3 locations, running 3 different activities: a swapshop and food sharing hub, a bike workshop and a cinema/events space. Our brand needs a bit of a refresh during this expansion, and the challenge is to keep our brand/identity consistent across our different business activities. Our organisation is non-hierarchical and volunteer led. We're all about empowering volunteers to take the lead in everything we do. We ideally need someone who gets what we're about, can take a look at our branding and offer some advice to our volunteers to do the job.
