News and Views

Football Australia has announced plans for its national second tier competition – the Australian Championship – with independent, branding and design agency, Hulsbosch, charged with leading the brand’s development.

Hulsbosch celebrates with 3x GOLD, 4x SILVER, 2x BRONZE at the 2024 Transform magazine Awards ANZ.

Specialist private capital investment manager, CVC Emerging Companies (CVC ECF) has rebranded as 248 Growth Partners in a brand transformation created by international award-winning brand and design agency Hulsbosch.

Meat-free Mondays, a jump in online sales and an ever-expanding range of home brand products helped push Coles’ profits to $1.1 billion as Australians cut down on dining out in the cost-of-living crush.

Hulsbosch has completed a brand and packaging refresh for Kimberly-Clark Australia’s period care U by Kotex brand.

In its purest form, design is communication through visuals to convey a message. But, in today’s modern landscape where we are constantly bombarded with new designs around every corner and where sensory overload is the norm, how a packaging design ‘speaks’ plays a bigger role than ever for brands to distinguish themselves and become master storytellers.

The Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) has teamed up with independent design and branding agency Hulsbosch to develop and create a new brand platform and refreshed visual identity.

Creative design agency Hulsbosch has worked closely over a number of years with Football Australia. Now, with a month out from FIFA Womens World Cup 2023, the agency’s client strategy director, Carolyn Pitt, talks on how the women’s team’s built one of the biggest brands in the land.
