A strategic rebrand repositioning the organization as a unified fundraising partner for nonprofit organizations.
About the project
Newport ONE helps nonprofit organizations connect donors to the causes they care about most. Formerly known as Newport Creative, the firm had evolved into a fully integrated partner offering strategy, creative, production, analytics, and donor engagement. It was still often perceived as a creative vendor rather than a strategic advisor.
The rebrand introduced the name Newport ONE to communicate integration: one partner, one point of accountability, and one unified approach to nonprofit fundraising. That idea shaped both the positioning and the visual identity system.
A restrained black-and-white palette paired with bold turquoise typography creates a graphic language that feels contemporary, intelligent, and highly adaptable across digital platforms, fundraising campaigns, presentations, advertising, and environmental applications.
The tagline ONE can make the difference reflects both Newport ONE’s integrated model and the belief that a single donor, action, or decision can create meaningful change. Working with illustrator Christine Beauregard, we developed a campaign that placed people and mission-driven storytelling at the center of the brand.
The simplified wordmark can be used against a black background or on its own against white.
‘One’ became both a positioning statement and a promise, clarifying integration across strategy, creative, and data while reinforcing alignment with nonprofit missions.
Overscaled ‘ONE’ typography was used as a graphic watermark throughout the system, reinforcing the idea of integration across marketing and fundraising communications.
We partnered with illustrator Christine Beauregard to create a series of ads, each representing a key cause type with playful, imaginative visuals and human-centered storytelling.
The site was rebuilt to lead with Newport ONE’s integrated service model, positioning the firm as a strategic partner from the first click. A dedicated section communicates culture and expertise to prospective hires.
The rebrand repositioned Newport ONE from a creative vendor into a strategic fundraising partner with a clearer voice, stronger market distinction, and a unified contemporary identity system. Built around a single enduring concept, the brand gives Newport ONE the authority to lead rather than simply support.
