We’re pretty chuffed as the winning reports were designed and produced by the Twelve Creative team.

Integrated Reporting Award

Winner – bankmecu

This year, ARA introduced a new Special Award for Integrated Reporting. An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organisations strategy, governance, performance and prospects lead to the creation of value.

ARA says “At just 13 pages the bankmecu report is succinct yet has all the qualities of an integrated report. It has a strong strategic focus. Key risks and opportunities; governance: and value creation are all covered well. The reader is directed to bankmecu website for more information.”

Online Reporting Award, Private Sector

Winner – bankmecu

ARA says “Effective use is made of online presentation capabilities. The navigation system works well, quick links are easy to use and overall design is simple and reader-friendly. The opening screen gets straight to business with performance highlights and gives direct easy access to the components of a concise annual report and financial statements.”

One of the three largest public collections of Polish posters in the world is located at University of Melbourne. Polish poster art is widely recognised as one of the most experimental modern graphic design genres.

Last night we attended the agIdeas International Design Week forum- Polish Poster art 1952-84 and were inspired by the words of French fine arts professor and graphic designer Alain Le Quernec. Alain is best known for his dynamic posters in the tradition of the polish Poster School greats like Tomaszewski.

We recommend you check out this exhibition at the Ian Potter Museum of Art open until 26 May.

And while we are so inspired why not talk to us about your poster and communication requirements – we’re ready to produce a master piece.

Over the past year, we’ve launched a number of responsive annual report sites – our latest, a large scale report for Santos. We have ensured that the Santos annual report leads with industry best practice. The website was built using the latest responsive technologies – which means that the website automatically responds to any screen size – allowing the same user experience on any computer/mobile/tablet device.

The WillyLitFest is a popular local cultural event focussing on literature, drama and writing which presents emerging writers and literary figures.

An exciting event with big ambitions, and with 2013 marking their 10th year, the festival committee agreed that their current brand lacked direction and clarity.

Twelve Creative were called upon to help. Following an audit and analysis phase, our insights indicated that the festival need to better communicate the soul of the brand – a fun event that offered something for everyone.

We created a new logo featuring a smiley emoticon, symbolising the festival’s pursuit of delighting the audience. The playful look of the new identity represents the festival’s commitment to be an approachable, friendly and fun event for all its stakeholders.

Guidelines were developed to help explain the brand system and ensure that it remains intact. We also created a festival program, banners and a range of other printed collateral. A new website was also designed and will be launched in 2014.

‘Thanks so much for your input, clarity of vision, design skills and understanding of our mission. We are very happy with the result.’ Helenka King, Secretary, Williamstown Literary Festival

For the twelfth year we are delighted to be working with Santos once again on their investor communications.

Eliza Baker is a concept boutique created by WA based design house Aurelio Costarella and Melbourne Wholesale/Distributors of directional international labels, Alchera.

Twelve created a contemporary, clean visual identity clearly communicating the relationship between Alchera and Eliza Baker and the set of brand values they share.

Bankmecu is Australia’s first customer owned bank. They offer customers a more responsible approach to banking by designing banking products and services that support customers achieving their financial goals while also helping them take steps to live more sustainably.

Bankmecu’s aim was to produce a report that integrated financial and non-financial performance against its business strategy, while maintaining accuracy, transparency, accountability and communicating performance on material issues of importance to stakeholders.

The challenge was to make the annual reports more accessible and engaging to their customers. We developed the theme ‘Our place’ which reinforced the brand message that the bank has a ‘responsible approach’ and is 100% customer owned.

An HTML microsite was created which included a specific smart phone version with easily accessible key information.

The online report included video and social media links to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube as well as a ‘compile your own report’ tool. Other best practice features included a clickable GRI table, a feedback form, speech recognition coding, search function and text enlargement tools.

The site was supported by a 16 page printed summary annual report and 40 page full statutory financial report.
