Moves & Changes

A fortnightly round-up of moves, changes and appointments in the design world.

Consultancies

BrandOpus has opened its first US office, based in New York. Louise De Ste. Croix, client development director and partner, says: “We have a number of existing global clients who are based in New York, which makes this a logical step – but we’re also looking forward to working with new teams and growing existing new partnerships.”


 

Two consultancies have been appointed to redesign MS Society’s branding and digital presence. Arthur London will rebrand the charity, while Code Computerlove will build its new digital platform. It is expected to roll out this autumn as part of a “digital transformation programme” that will also include new tools to help people monitor their MS and online support communities.


 

Heineken has appointed Amsterdam-based consultancy Cloudfactory as its creative partner for the Strongbow brand. Its first project will be a marketing campaign, which will launch this spring.


 

Platform has moved offices to a larger space, now based at 47 Middle Street in Brighton. The consultancy works in digital brand design for clients such as Vodafone, British Gas and HCL.
